When it may not be suitable

How to use

To use the cable, insert the 3.5mm jack into the headphone or line-out port of your audio source device. Connect the two RCA plugs into the corresponding left and right input ports on your amplifier, receiver, or active speaker system. Ensure that the red RCA plug is inserted into the red input port and the white RCA plug into the white input port to maintain correct stereo imaging. Once connected, adjust the volume on your source device to a moderate level before increasing it on your playback system to avoid sudden volume spikes.

• Check that your receiving device supports RCA input
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific room layout

Usage recommendations

To maintain the longevity of the cable, avoid bending it at sharp angles or placing heavy objects on top of the wire. When disconnecting, always pull by the connector housing rather than the cable itself to prevent internal wire damage.
