Unbalanced Angled Mono Jack to Male XLR Cable – Sommer Neutrik Vintage Gold

Vintage-inspired angled mono jack to male XLR cable for cleaner pedalboard routing and dependable studio-grade performance.

This unbalanced angled mono jack to male XLR cable is designed for guitars, instruments, DI boxes, mixers and effects where a balanced connection is not possible or required. Built using Sommer SC Classique vintage cable and Neutrik gold connectors, it combines flexible handling, reliable signal transfer and a retro braided finish that looks as good as it performs.

Performance & Build Quality

The Sommer SC Classique cable delivers a warm, detailed signal with excellent flexibility and dependable durability for stage and studio use. Its vintage braided outer jacket helps reduce handling noise while giving the cable a distinctive retro appearance suited to classic and modern rigs alike.

The low-profile Neutrik angled mono jack is ideal for pedalboards, tight rack spaces and live stage setups where reducing cable strain is important. These cables are also carefully wired using a 2 core and screen configuration, linking the unused XLR pin to ground inside the jack to help reduce hum and grounding problems when connecting unbalanced outputs into balanced inputs.
