Monoprice 104775 1.5ft XLR Male to RCA Male Cable 16AWG Gold Plated 2.5mm stereo cable

XLR-to-RCA audio interconnect

This 1.5ft cable links professional XLR outputs to consumer RCA inputs, making it useful for studio monitors, mixers or audio interfaces that need an unbalanced connection. The male-to-male design plugs directly into both ends without adapters. It is sold new as model 104775.

16AWG oxygen-free copper with braided shield

Two twisted-pair conductors carry the signal while a full-length copper braid provides 97.5 percent coverage against interference. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low resistance over repeated insertions. The standard pinout ties XLR pins 1 and 3 to the RCA sleeve and pin 2 to the tip.

Balanced-to-unbalanced conversion fixed by wiring

Because the cable permanently bridges the XLR shield pins to the RCA ground, the output is always unbalanced regardless of direction. Systems that require a true balanced path end-to-end cannot use this cable. Buyers needing balanced transmission should choose a different interconnect.
