Audio cable CORDIAL 14850 — 6 m, 2× XLR (3-pin) male to 2× RCA male, black/red

CORDIAL 14850 is a 6 m audio connection cable with two XLR (3‑pin) male connectors on one end and two RCA (phono) male connectors on the other. It is designed to connect professional balanced XLR outputs to unbalanced RCA inputs, making it suitable for linking mixers, DJ equipment and audio interfaces where such conversions are needed. Contacts are nickel‑plated and the pair is colour‑coded black and red for left/right channel identification.

Advantages

The cable provides a simple, single-cable solution for converting balanced XLR outputs to unbalanced RCA inputs without additional adapters. Its 6 m length offers flexibility in stage and studio setups, and colour-coding reduces the chance of channel mix-up. Nickel‑plated contacts resist corrosion and ensure consistent signal contact.

Suitable for

• Connecting mixer outputs to consumer or line-level RCA inputs
• Patching DJ controllers or DJ mixers to amplifiers or recorders with RCA jacks
• Linking audio interfaces or outboard gear with XLR outputs to devices with RCA inputs

When it may not be suitable

This cable converts from balanced XLR to unbalanced RCA and does not preserve the benefits of a balanced connection over long distances; for runs where noise rejection is critical, a balanced-to-balanced cable should be used. It is not designed to carry speaker-level signals and should only be used for line-level audio connections.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 6 m
• One end: 2 × XLR (3‑pin) male
• Other end: 2 × RCA (phono) male
• Contact plating: nickel‑plated contacts
• Colour coding: black and red for channels

How to use

Connect the XLR male connectors to the balanced XLR outputs of your mixer, interface or other professional audio device, matching each channel to its corresponding output. Plug the RCA male connectors into the line-level RCA inputs of the receiving device, observing the black/red colour coding for left and right channels. Ensure both devices are powered down or set to a low volume when connecting to avoid transients; then power up and set levels as required.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether you need a balanced-to-unbalanced conversion or a fully balanced cable for your setup
• Required cable length for your stage or studio layout (6 m)
• Intended signal level—this cable is for line-level use, not speaker-level

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this cable for short to moderate runs where a direct XLR-to-RCA connection is required; keep cable paths away from mains wiring to minimise interference and verify channel routing using the black/red colour coding before signal use.
