FAQs

What is the primary function of this cable?

This cable is designed to transmit stereo audio signals between audio components using standard phono (RCA) connectors. It connects a single stereo output to a stereo input.

What does 'screened lead' mean?

A screened lead means the cable has an extra layer of shielding around the internal wires. This shielding helps to block out electromagnetic interference, reducing noise like hum or buzz in the audio signal.

What devices can I connect with this lead?

You can connect devices with standard phono outputs (like a CD player, turntable, or tape deck) to devices with standard phono inputs (like an amplifier, receiver, or active speakers).

Is this cable suitable for digital audio?

No, this cable is designed for analog stereo audio signals only. It is not suitable for digital audio connections like coaxial or optical.

What is the length of the cable?

The product dimensions are 150mm in length, 70mm in width, and 40mm in depth. The cable itself is typically around 15cm.

Does the colour of the cable affect performance?

No, the black colour is purely aesthetic and does not impact the audio performance of the cable.

Can I use this to connect speakers directly to a source?

Generally, no. This cable is for line-level audio signals. You typically connect it from a source device to an amplifier or powered speakers, not directly to passive speaker terminals.

Troubleshooting

No sound or intermittent sound

Ensure all phono plugs are firmly inserted into the correct input/output jacks on both devices. Check that the input source is correctly selected on your amplifier or receiver. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Humming or buzzing noise

Verify that the cable is properly screened and connected. Try connecting the devices to different power outlets to rule out grounding issues. Ensure no other strong electrical devices are placed too close to the audio cable.

Left or Right channel not working

Confirm that the red plug (right channel) and the white/black plug (left channel) are connected to the corresponding R and L inputs/outputs on your equipment. Test the cable with different devices if possible to isolate the issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the audio output ports on your source device (e.g., CD player, tape deck) and the audio input ports on your playback device (e.g., amplifier, receiver).
  2. Connect the single phono plug to the designated stereo output (usually marked L/R or with color-coding: red for right, white or black for left) on your source device.
  3. Connect the two phono plugs to the corresponding stereo input on your playback device (red for right, white or black for left).

Compatibility:

This lead is compatible with any audio equipment featuring standard phono (RCA) input and output connectors. This includes most home audio systems, turntables, CD players, tape decks, amplifiers, receivers, and active speakers.

Care:

  • Store the lead in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
  • Clean connectors gently with a dry, soft cloth if they appear dusty. Avoid using liquids.
