Pseudo Balanced RCA Phono to Male XLR Lead (PAIR). Van Damme Starquad Cable

**Sold as a stereo pair with one cable marked with ‘Red’ to identify it as the ‘Right Channel’

These leads are cleverly wired to minimize noise interference which is inherent when connecting unbalanced equipment to balanced equipment. We have used the world renowned Van Damme Starquad cable with industry standard Neutrik and Switchcraft Gold Plated connectors. These cables look and sound great. All terminations are made with a 4% silver solder.

**Wiring Notes**

These high quality cables are wired to our own specification, with the screen only being connected on one side of the cable. The world-wide debate of which side should be left floating is ongoing and will likely never be resolved. On these leads we have left the screen un-connected at the ‘source’ end. This eliminates the risk of induced hum and noise (ground loops) from the screen. The unused pin inside the XLR is wired to the screen inside the RCA/Jack, this reduces unwanted noise and signal degradation at the input stage.

If you would prefer the leads to be wired to your own specification, to keep in line with your own grounding scheme then please do not hesitate to contact us. We are more than happy to change the wiring to suit.
