Van Damme SILENT Mono Jack to Male XLR lead. Neutrik Guitar Di Mixer Cable

Silent instrument changes with flexible tour-grade Van Damme cable.

This unbalanced mono jack to male XLR cable combines flexible Van Damme XKE cable with genuine Neutrik Silent connectors for dependable instrument, pedal, DI and mixer connections. Designed for both studio and live environments, it delivers low handling noise, reliable signal transfer and clean silent unplugging during performances and rehearsals.

Performance & Build Quality

The integrated Neutrik Silent connector automatically mutes the signal when unplugging the cable, helping prevent loud pops and unwanted amplifier noise during instrument changes. This makes it ideal for guitarists, bass players and touring musicians who regularly swap instruments or reconfigure rigs on stage.

Van Damme’s flexible XKE cable is widely trusted throughout the professional audio industry for its durability, smooth handling and dependable low-noise performance. These cables are assembled using a carefully configured pseudo-balanced wiring method designed to improve compatibility between unbalanced instrument outputs and balanced XLR inputs, helping reduce hum and grounding issues in professional audio setups.

Important: Silent jack usage

Neutrik silent jacks include a built-in switching mechanism that mutes the signal when unplugged. While highly useful for live performance and rehearsals, this internal mechanism makes them more delicate than standard jack plugs.

We do not recommend silent jacks for heavy touring use or situations where cables are subject to frequent impact, strain, or rough handling.

Please note: due to the nature of the silent jack mechanism, we do not offer warranty on silent jack connectors. Standard jack options are recommended for maximum durability in demanding environments.
