SSQ JSXM1 Event audio cable — stereo 6.3 mm jack to male XLR (SS-2027)

SSQ JSXM1 Event is an audio cable designed to connect devices with a stereo 6.3 mm (1/4") jack to equipment with a male XLR connector. It is intended for routing audio between instruments, mixers, and PA systems where a conversion from an unbalanced 6.3 mm stereo jack to a balanced XLR input is required. The cable is suitable for stage setups, live sound reinforcement and studio patching tasks that demand a reliable physical connection between jack-equipped sources and professional XLR-equipped inputs.

Advantages

The cable provides a straightforward mechanical and electrical interface between 6.3 mm jack sources and XLR inputs without introducing additional active electronics. Its termination allows compatibility with standard XLR-equipped mixers and PA systems, enabling easier integration of guitars, keyboards, headphone outputs or line-level devices into balanced input channels. The single-cable form factor reduces clutter in live and studio environments while preserving a tidy signal path.

Suitable for

• Connecting instruments or DI boxes with a 6.3 mm stereo jack to mixer XLR inputs
• Routing line-level signals from keyboards or audio interfaces to PA systems
• Temporary stage and live sound setups requiring quick jack-to-XLR connections
• Studio patching where conversion from jack outputs to XLR inputs is needed

Key specifications

• Connector A: stereo 6.3 mm (1/4") jack
• Connector B: male XLR
• Cable function: jack to XLR audio conversion for signal routing
• Intended signal types: instrument-level and line-level audio
• Typical use environment: live sound, stage, rehearsal spaces, studio patching

How to use

Insert the stereo 6.3 mm jack into the source device output and connect the male XLR to the balanced input on the mixer, amplifier or PA system. Ensure the source device output level is set appropriately before sending signal to the mixer to avoid clipping. When connecting unbalanced jack outputs to a balanced XLR input, check the receiving channel’s gain and polarity settings on the mixer or preamp to obtain the desired signal level and noise performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable in short to moderate lengths to minimize noise and potential signal degradation when converting from unbalanced to balanced connections. Verify levels on both source and destination devices and mute channels while plugging or unplugging to prevent pops. If persistent noise or hum occurs, consider using a dedicated DI box or active balancer designed for instrument-level signals.
