Product Information

Full details

This 1.5-meter audio cable, designed by Loops, is for users needing a reliable connection between DJ-style dual CD players and studio audio equipment. Its key benefit is a clean, interference-free signal thanks to a ferrite core and shielded construction. A potential caveat is its specific 8-pin mini-DIN connector, which may not be universally compatible.

FAQs

What does the ferrite core do?

The ferrite core is a bead that helps to suppress high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference, resulting in a cleaner and more stable audio signal.

Is this cable compatible with all CD players?

This cable is specifically designed for DJ-style dual CD players and studio audio equipment that use an 8-pin mini-DIN plug-to-plug connection. It is not universally compatible with all CD players.

How do I know if my equipment uses an 8-pin mini-DIN connection?

Check the ports on your audio equipment. An 8-pin mini-DIN port is a small, circular connector with 8 pins arranged in a specific pattern. Refer to your equipment's manual for confirmation.

What does 'wired 'straight through'' mean?

'Wired 'straight through'' means that each pin on one connector is directly connected to the corresponding pin on the other connector. All pins are wired 1-to-1.

Can I use this cable for video signals?

This cable is designed and intended for audio signals. While it uses a mini-DIN connector, it is not guaranteed to be suitable or safe for video transmission, which may have different impedance and signaling requirements.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

Please refer to the retailer or Loops' official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Troubleshooting

No audio signal or intermittent signal.

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports on your devices. Check for any visible damage to the connectors or cable. Test with a different cable if possible to rule out the cable as the source of the problem.

Humming or buzzing sound.

Verify that the cable is properly seated. Try moving the audio equipment and cable away from power supplies or other potential sources of electromagnetic interference. The ferrite core is designed to minimize this, but extreme interference may still affect signal quality.

One or more channels are not working.

Confirm that the cable is wired 'straight through' and is compatible with your specific equipment's pinout configuration. Ensure that the input/output settings on your devices are correctly configured for the connected components.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces signal interference with ferrite core.
  • Offers a secure and quality connection with nickel-plated connectors.
  • Designed for durability with a thick PVC jacket and strain relief.
  • Provides a clean signal path due to aluminum foil shielding.

Cons

  • Specific 8-pin mini-DIN connector may limit compatibility.
  • Length of 1.5 meters might be too short for some setups.
  • Primarily designed for specific DJ equipment and studio audio gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the 8-pin mini-DIN connectors on both ends of the cable into the corresponding ports on your audio devices. Ensure a secure connection by gently pushing the connectors until they are fully seated.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for DJ-style dual CD players and general studio audio equipment that utilize an 8-pin mini-DIN plug-to-plug connection. It is wired 'straight through,' meaning all pins are connected directly, which is a common standard for audio interconnects. Always verify that your devices have matching 8-pin mini-DIN ports before purchasing.

Care: To maintain the cable's performance and longevity, avoid tightly coiling or sharply bending the cable, especially near the connectors. Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Wipe the cable jacket with a dry or slightly damp cloth if it becomes dirty; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
