Product Information
Full details
This 3-meter KabelDirekt RCA Audio Video Cable is designed for users seeking high-quality audio transmission between home stereo systems, AV-receivers, and Hi-Fi equipment. Its key benefit is providing interference-free, clear stereo sound through double shielding and gold-plated connectors. A minor caveat is that it's specifically for stereo audio and analog/digital signals and not for video transmission.

FAQs
Can this cable be used for video signals?
No, this cable is specifically designed for stereo audio (left/right) signals and is not suitable for transmitting video.
What does 'double shielding' mean for audio quality?
Double shielding uses multiple layers (aluminium-Mylar foil and copper braiding) to block external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, resulting in a cleaner audio signal with less noise and distortion.
Are the gold-plated connectors purely aesthetic?
No, the 24K gold plating helps prevent corrosion and ensures a reliable, low-resistance connection, which is crucial for optimal audio signal transfer over time.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The cable is backed by a 36-month manufacturer’s warranty.
Can I use this cable for digital audio signals?
Yes, this cable supports both analog stereo audio and digital signals that are transmitted via RCA/phono connections.
How should I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-plated connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials, as they can damage the plating or the connector itself.
What is the benefit of an oxygen-free copper core?
An oxygen-free copper core minimizes oxidation, ensuring better conductivity and signal integrity over the life of the cable, leading to a more consistent audio performance.
Troubleshooting
No sound or intermittent audio
Verify that the cable is securely connected to both the source and receiving devices. Check that the correct input/output ports are selected on your devices. Ensure the cable is not damaged and try a different RCA cable if possible to rule out a cable fault.
Humming or static noise
Ensure the cable connectors are clean and fully inserted. Check for nearby sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power supplies, routers) and try repositioning the cable or devices. Confirm that both connected devices share a common ground if applicable.
Audio imbalance (one channel louder than the other)
Confirm that the red and white/black connectors are plugged into the corresponding Right and Left audio ports on both devices. Check the audio settings on your source device and amplifier/receiver for any balance adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This cable is designed for plug-and-play use. Simply connect the red-colored RCA connector to the corresponding red (Right) audio input/output port and the white or black-colored RCA connector to the corresponding white or black (Left) audio input/output port on your devices. Ensure the devices are powered off before connecting or disconnecting cables.
Compatibility:
Compatible with any audio device featuring standard RCA (phono) stereo audio inputs or outputs. This includes amplifiers, AV-receivers, stereo systems, CD players, DVD players, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and modern TVs with analog audio outputs. It supports both analog and digital signals transmitted via RCA connections.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
- Keep connectors clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive materials.
- Store the cable neatly when not in use.
- Ensure connections are secure but do not force them.
