Balanced RCA to XLR Adapter

This pair of 0.2 m adapter cables connects Khadas Tone2 or Tone2 Pro DACs to equipment with XLR inputs. Each cable uses a Khadas balanced RCA plug on one end and a Neutrik NC3MXX-HE XLR-3 male connector with gold contacts on the other. They are sold as a matched white and red pair for stereo use.

Length and Shielding Constraints

The 0.2 m length is intended for short runs between stacked components and cannot span longer distances between racks. The braided oxygen-free copper shield and twisted-pair conductors are designed to reject noise on balanced lines, but the fixed length means you cannot adjust routing without adding extensions that may alter impedance.

Check Connector Types Before Ordering

Verify that your source device provides balanced RCA outputs matching the Khadas KRP-B01 plug and that your amplifier or interface accepts XLR-3 male connectors. The adapters will not fit standard single-ended RCA jacks or XLR female ports, and they are not compatible with unbalanced RCA-only equipment.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 0.2 m adapter or the 1.0 m cable?

Choose 0.2 m for direct, space-saving connections between stacked gear; choose 1.0 m when components sit further apart and you need reach.

What does the 6.0 mm outer diameter mean once the cable is installed?

At 6.0 mm the cable is slim enough to route behind tight racks yet thick enough to house braided shielding and cotton filler without kinking.

How does the Neutrik XLR-3 male connector with gold contacts cap the signal path in practice?

The gold-plated Neutrik XLR-3 male locks securely, resists oxidation, and maintains low-contact resistance for balanced audio transfer.
