MX 1191A RCA Male to RCA Male Cord (3 m)

MX 1191A RCA Male to RCA Male Cord (3 m)

The MX 1191A is a 3 m stereo RCA interconnect: RCA male plugs at both ends, wired as a left/right pair for analogue stereo audio. The 3 metre length reaches between components that cannot sit side by side – a turntable or player on one shelf and the amplifier on another, or a source across a room from the system. It is the classic connection between source components and amplifiers – the lead that has joined CD players to amplifiers for decades and still joins media players, DJ gear and mixers to powered speakers and hi-fi systems today.

Key Features

• RCA male to RCA male stereo pair (left and right channels)
• 3 m length for component-to-amplifier runs
• Shielded construction to keep hum and interference out of the signal
• Colour-coded plugs for quick left/right identification
• Standard RCA connectors – fits the analogue inputs and outputs on virtually all audio gear
• Flexible jacket for routing around racks and furniture

Analogue Interconnects, Kept Simple

RCA carries one channel of unbalanced analogue audio per plug, so a stereo link always travels as a matched pair. Because the signal is unbalanced, interconnects work best at sensible lengths in and around a rack or room corner – which is exactly the job this cable is built for. The shielding around the conductors is what stands between your music and the mains hum radiated by power supplies and transformers nearby; a properly shielded interconnect keeps the background silent between tracks, which is where cheap unshielded leads give themselves away. Plugs are colour coded red and white by convention – red for right, white (or black) for left – so channels stay the right way round behind dark equipment racks.

Typical Uses

Run a CD or media player into an integrated amplifier, connect a DJ controller or small mixer to powered speakers, patch a TV’s analogue audio output into a stereo system, or link a phono stage, streamer or DAC into an amplifier’s line input. Keep the connectors clean and fully seated – a half-pushed RCA plug is the most common cause of one channel dropping out – and the connection will stay silent and stable for years.
