Audio cable SSQ XZJM1 — 1 m mono jack to XLR female

SSQ Cable XZJM1 is a 1-metre audio cable with a mono 1/4" (6.35 mm) jack on one end and a female XLR connector on the other. It is designed to connect instruments or mono line-level sources to mixers, audio interfaces or PA systems, providing a straightforward analogue path for unbalanced mono signals in both studio and live environments. The cable length and connector combination make it suitable for short runs where a compact, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

The SSQ XZJM1 offers a robust connector pairing that balances ease of use with durability. The mono 1/4" jack provides a common instrument-level interface while the female XLR end allows direct connection to professional mixing desks and PA inputs. Constructed for typical stage and studio conditions, the cable minimises signal loss for short unbalanced runs and is easy to route and manage thanks to its 1 m length.

Suitable for

• Connecting electric guitars, basses or keyboards to mixer line inputs
• Linking mono line-level devices (e.g., DI boxes, outboard gear) to PA systems
• Short patch runs in studio setups and rehearsal spaces
• Temporary live sound rig connections where a female XLR input is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 metre
• Connector A: mono 1/4" (6.35 mm) jack
• Connector B: female XLR
• Signal type: unbalanced mono analogue
• Intended use: instrument and line-level connections

How to use

Insert the mono 1/4" jack into the instrument or source output and connect the female XLR to the mixer, interface or PA input. Ensure device levels are set appropriately to avoid clipping: start with trim/gain low and increase while monitoring signal. For best results use the cable for short runs in close proximity to the connected devices and avoid routing the cable alongside power lines to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

Use the SSQ XZJM1 for short, temporary connections rather than long-distance runs; for longer or balanced connections consider using balanced cable or DI boxes. Regularly check connectors for secure fit and clean contacts to maintain reliable signal transfer.
