Frequently Asked Questions
What types of audio cables do I need for a home studio?
For home studios, you’ll typically need a mix of XLR cables (for mics), 6.3mm jack cables (for instruments), and patch cables (for routing). RCA and MIDI cables may also be required for connecting interfaces and controllers.
Are XLR cables better than RCA cables?
XLR cables offer balanced audio transmission, reducing noise and interference; ideal for professional audio. RCA cables are unbalanced and more suited for consumer-level hi-fi or DJ gear where shorter cable runs are common.
Can I use speaker cables for other audio purposes?
No, speaker cables are designed to handle high current and are not shielded for low-level signals like instrument or line audio. Always match cable types to their purpose for best performance.
How do I know which length of cable to choose?
Choose the shortest length that comfortably reaches your gear without stretching. Longer cables can degrade signal quality slightly, especially if not shielded properly.
Do MIDI cables carry sound?
No, MIDI cables carry control data (such as note on/off or modulation) between digital music equipment, not actual audio signals.
What is a stereo phono cable used for?
Stereo phono (RCA) cables are used for transmitting left and right channel audio signals, commonly found in DJ decks, audio interfaces, and home AV equipment.
Are all 3.5mm jack cables the same?
Not necessarily. While most 3.5mm jacks look similar, there are differences in shielding, conductor quality, and whether they're stereo (TRS) or mono (TS). Always check specs before purchasing.
