About the Audio Cables range

Start with the equipment at each end. Check the connector type, plug or socket gender, cable length and whether the signal is microphone, instrument, line or speaker level. XLR and TRS can carry balanced audio when both connected devices support it, helping reduce noise on longer runs. TS instrument cables and RCA or 3.5mm leads are generally unbalanced. For headphones, confirm whether you need 3.5mm or 6.35mm TRS. Choose a suitable length that reaches without excessive slack, and check for locking connectors, right-angle plugs or a durable cable jacket where the lead will move often.

Connector shape does not always determine how a cable works. A TRS plug may carry balanced mono audio or stereo, depending on the equipment. A 3.5mm TRS cable is not automatically compatible with a camera, microphone or headset that uses TRRS, locking connectors or plug-in power. MIDI leads also require the correct connection type, including 5-pin DIN or 3.5mm TRS Type A or Type B. Use converters or adaptors only after confirming the signal and wiring. The range is organised by connector and application, making it easier to compare XLR, adaptors, instrument, MIDI, RCA and mini-jack options.

Audio Cables questions

What is the difference between an XLR cable and a TRS cable?

Both can carry balanced audio when the connected equipment supports balanced inputs and outputs. XLR uses a locking three-pin connector and is common for microphones and professional audio. TRS means tip, ring and sleeve, and is available in 3.5mm or 6.35mm formats for balanced connections, headphones and other equipment.

Can I use a TRS cable for headphones?

Usually, but check the plug size and equipment connection first. Headphone outputs commonly use stereo TRS, with the tip and ring carrying left and right channels. A balanced TRS output may use different wiring, so do not connect headphones to an unfamiliar balanced socket without checking the device manual.

What cable do I need to connect a microphone to a camera?

Check the camera input and microphone output. A microphone with an XLR output may need an XLR to 3.5mm cable or an adaptor such as a RODE VXLR Plus, depending on the camera and microphone requirements. Confirm locking connectors, plug-in power and whether the camera input accepts the microphone signal.
