Description
The Revelation 3.5mm TRS to Dual XLR Insert Cable is the essential bridge between your modern stereo devices and professional recording or playback systems. Engineered for impeccable signal integrity, this cable solves the common problem of connecting gear with a single 3.5mm output, such as synthesizers or drum machines, to the balanced XLR inputs of a mixing console or audio interface.
Designed for versatility and a secure fit, the cable offers a choice of Revelation Straight or Neutrik NTP3RC Right-Angle 3.5mm connectors, allowing you to connect devices even in tight spaces. These are paired with Square Plug SPXA XLR connectors, renowned for their reliable, low-profile connections. At the heart of this is the Mogami 2944 cable, a studio standard celebrated for its superior spiral shielding and low-capacitance conductors.
To ensure optimal performance, this cable features a pseudo-balanced (or impedance-balanced) design. This configuration significantly improves common-mode noise rejection, effectively combating hum and interference, especially over longer cable runs, while remaining fully compatible with the unbalanced output of your source device. The result is a signal transmitted with pristine clarity and minimal noise.
From routing the headphone output of a favourite modeller to a console’s insert points, to connecting a plethora of portable gear, this cable is an indispensable toolkit item for the discerning musician and engineer.
Common Applications Include:
- Synthesizers & Grooveboxes: Perfect for the Teenage Engineering OP-1, OP-Z, and OP-XY. Also ideal for the Roland AIRA Compact series (T-8, J-6, E-4), Sonicware Liven series, and Korg Volca series when using the headphone output.
- Portable Drum Machines: Connect the main or headphone output of units like the Roland SP-404 MKII, or use it as a second stereo output pair from Elektron Digitone/Digitakt headphone jacks.
- Laptops & Mobile Devices: Quickly connect a laptop’s headphone output to a PA system for presentations or backing tracks.
- Field Recorders: Feed audio from portable recorders like the Zoom H-series or Tascam DR-series into a studio console or larger PA system for amplification or processing.
