Know before you buy
No. Because the 3.5mm single-ended standard does not support a balanced signal, this adapter will convert your 4.4mm balanced connection to a single-ended signal for use with standard 3.5mm ports.
Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper is processed to minimize grain boundaries within the metal, which helps facilitate smoother, more efficient signal transmission compared to standard copper.
The Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) shielding layer acts as a barrier against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise, helping to maintain a clean, quiet background for your music.
The cable is designed with a blend of PVC, Nylon, and FEP, which provides a balance between durability and flexibility. It is robust enough to protect the internal conductors while remaining pliable enough for daily use.
No, this specific adapter is wired for a 4.4mm female to 3.5mm male connection. It is intended for connecting a balanced cable to a single-ended source, not the other way around.
