Professional balanced audio cable

This 25ft 1/4in TRS male-to-male cable uses 16 AWG stranded pure copper conductors for balanced signal transmission. It suits studio gear, stage instruments and high-end entertainment systems that require low-noise interconnects. The balanced topology rejects common-mode interference over long runs.

97.5 percent braided shield noise rejection

A copper braid with 97.5% coverage isolates the conductors from RF and electromagnetic interference. Balanced impedance lines prevent ground-loop hum without using the shield as a signal return. The construction keeps the noise floor low during extended cable runs.

Gold-plated connectors and flexible jacket

Gold-plated 1/4in TRS plugs resist oxidation and maintain reliable contact over repeated insertion cycles. The black outer jacket protects the 16 AWG conductors while remaining pliable for routing around equipment racks. No additional adapters or software are included.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 1/4in TRS plugs without reversing tip and ring?

Match the tip, ring and sleeve on each 1/4in TRS plug to the corresponding balanced input or output; the gold-plated contacts are keyed so the plug only seats one way, preventing a swapped connection.

Will the 97.5% copper braid shielding degrade and need replacement?

The 97.5% copper braid is a permanent part of the cable construction and does not wear out; only physical damage to the jacket or connectors would require a new cable.

At what length does signal loss become noticeable on a 16 AWG run?

At 25 ft the 16 AWG stranded copper conductors keep resistance low enough that balanced line-level signals remain clean; longer runs would increase attenuation first.
