Audio Cable ShiverPeaks BS30822 1.5m 3.5mm DIN 5-pin Black

The ShiverPeaks BS30822 audio cable is a 1.5 m connection lead with a 3.5 mm male plug on one end and a 5-pin DIN male connector on the other. Constructed from high-quality copper conductors with nickel-plated contact surfaces, this black cable is designed for clear analogue audio transmission between devices that use a 3.5 mm output and equipment with a 5-pin DIN input. Its compact length and durable finish make it suitable for desktop and rack installations where a short, reliable audio link is required.

Advantages

The cable combines solid copper conductors and nickel-plated contacts to provide low-resistance signal transfer and reliable contact performance. The 1.5 m length balances reach and cable management in home and studio setups, while the black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most audio systems. The 3.5 mm and 5-pin DIN ends provide compatibility with a variety of portable audio sources, mixers, and older audio equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting portable players, smartphones or laptops with a 3.5 mm output to devices with a 5-pin DIN input
• Short runs behind audio racks, compact studio workstations, and home stereo systems
• Temporary patching or testing equipment that accepts DIN connections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for analogue line-level connections and will not provide digital audio transmission or support for multi-channel digital formats. It is not suitable where XLR balanced connections, RCA stereo pairs, or long-distance runs requiring shielded, high-spec cable are required. For setups needing impedance matching or professional balanced feeds, a different cable or adapter should be used.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Connector A: 3.5 mm male (stereo)
• Connector B: 5-pin DIN male
• Conductor material: copper
• Contact plating: nickel
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the 3.5 mm plug into the audio source's headphone or line output, and connect the 5-pin DIN plug to the target device's DIN input, ensuring proper alignment of the DIN pins. Power down devices before connecting or disconnecting if possible to avoid pops or surges. Once connected, set the source and destination devices to appropriate line-level settings and adjust volume controls gradually to verify signal flow and prevent loud transients.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the target device has a 5-pin DIN input and that pin configuration matches your equipment
• Confirm a 1.5 m length is sufficient for your intended connection route
• Ensure an unbalanced analogue cable meets your signal and noise requirements for the installation

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for short, unbalanced analogue connections in home and small studio environments. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and route it with minimal bends to maintain signal integrity.
