Naim 5 Pin Din In & Out Mogami Audio Lead. Play & Record

Naim 5-Pin DIN Play & Record Crossover Cable – Mogami 2534

A premium 5-pin DIN interconnect designed for compatible Naim equipment requiring both playback and recording connections through a single cable.

Unlike a conventional straight-through DIN cable, this lead uses crossover wiring. The audio output contacts at each end connect to the corresponding input contacts at the opposite end, while the return direction is crossed in the same way.

This means the cable carries audio in both directions:

• Output at End A → Input at End B

• Output at End B → Input at End A

Because the wiring is crossed internally, the cable is fully reversible. Either DIN plug can be connected to either item of equipment without changing its operation.

Wiring Notes

• 5-pin DIN to 5-pin DIN

• Wired for both Play/Playback and Record

• Crossover configuration: outputs feed inputs in both directions

• All five DIN contacts are connected

• Common audio screen/ground connection

• Reversible construction with no designated source or destination end

• Not wired as a conventional straight-through DIN or MIDI cable

Why Mogami 2534?

Mogami 2534 is a flexible, studio-grade cable containing four 24 AWG Neglex copper conductors beneath a closely lapped overall screen. Its four-conductor construction makes it particularly well suited to this bidirectional Play and Record application.

XLPE conductor insulation provides excellent electrical performance, while the flexible PVC jacket makes the finished cable easy to route behind equipment and furniture.

Switchcraft DIN Connectors

The cable is terminated with high-quality Switchcraft 5-pin DIN plugs. Their slimline metal construction, durable strain relief and precisely formed pins provide a secure and dependable connection with compatible Naim equipment.

Typical Applications

• Connecting compatible Naim amplifiers, preamplifiers and recording equipment

• Naim Play and Record connections

Important Compatibility Information

This is a specialist Play and Record crossover cable. It is not wired as a standard pin-to-pin 5-pin DIN lead, such as the Naim Lavender cable.

Please confirm that both items of equipment use the compatible Naim Play/Record pin arrangement before ordering. If you are unsure, send us the exact make and model of both devices and we will check the required wiring.
