FAQs
What type of audio signal does this lead carry?
This lead is designed for mono audio signals, carrying one channel of audio from the 6.3mm jack to the dual RCA outputs.
Is this cable suitable for stereo connections?
No, this cable is for mono connections. While it has two RCA connectors, they typically carry separate channels of a stereo signal if used in reverse, or one channel of a mono signal from a stereo output.
What is the diameter of the cable?
The cable has a diameter of 5mm for the twin core.
What are the connectors made of?
The connectors are pro-quality die-cast RCA phono plugs and a 6.3mm mono jack plug.
How durable is the cable jacket?
The cable features a durable PVC sheath and a soft-grip, rubberized jacket designed to be anti-tangle and resistant to wear.
Can I use this lead for microphones?
This lead is not typically designed for standard microphone connections, which usually require XLR or TRS balanced jacks. It is best suited for line-level audio signals.
What is the warranty period for this audio lead?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent signal
Ensure all connectors are fully inserted into their respective ports. Check that the cable is not damaged. Test with a different cable to rule out an issue with the lead itself. Verify the correct input/output settings on connected devices.
Humming or buzzing noise
Ensure the cable is properly shielded and not damaged. Check for ground loop issues with connected equipment. Try connecting through a different power outlet or DI box.
Connectors feel loose
Gently clean the RCA and jack ports on your equipment and the cable connectors. Ensure you are using the correct cable for the intended connection type. If the issue persists, the connector might be worn and require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the 6.3mm mono jack plug to the output of your audio source or instrument (e.g., mixer, synthesizer, guitar amp) and the two RCA phono plugs to the input of your destination device (e.g., amplifier, active speaker, recording interface). Ensure a firm click when plugging in the RCA connectors.
Compatibility: This lead is compatible with any equipment featuring a 6.3mm mono jack input and RCA phono outputs, or vice versa, for mono audio signals.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Storage: Store the cable loosely coiled, avoiding sharp bends or kinks.

- Connections: Periodically check that the connectors are clean and free from debris. Ensure connections are snug but do not force them.
