Know before you buy
This cable uses a Mini XLR to Mini XLR termination, which allows for a fully balanced signal path from your tonearm to your phono preamp. This configuration helps cancel out electromagnetic interference and noise, resulting in a cleaner, more precise audio signal.
No, this cable is specifically designed for Pro-Ject True Balanced turntables that feature a Mini XLR output. It will not work with standard RCA-based turntables or phono preamps.
Phono cartridges are highly sensitive to cable capacitance, which can alter the frequency response and dull the high-end detail of your records. The 100pF capacitance of this cable is optimized to maintain a flat, accurate signal, ensuring your cartridge performs exactly as intended.
At 1.23 meters, this cable is kept at an ideal length to minimize signal loss and interference while providing enough reach for most standard turntable setups. Keeping phono cables relatively short is a best practice to maintain signal integrity.
Oxygen-free copper is used to minimize impurities within the wire, which allows for better conductivity and a more transparent signal path. This helps ensure that the delicate signal from your cartridge reaches your preamp without unnecessary coloration or loss.
