TTS to XLR Cables (20m)

TTS to XLR Cables (20m) are specialized cables designed to connect devices with TTS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connectors to equipment with XLR inputs or outputs. TTS connectors are often used for audio applications like headphone jacks or line-level inputs on some devices, while XLR is a professional standard for balanced audio connections used in microphones, mixers, and other audio equipment. These cables allow you to integrate devices with TTS outputs into professional audio systems that use XLR inputs.

Key Features:

1. TTS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) Connector:

   • The TTS connector is a type of TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) plug, typically used for stereo or balanced line-level audio signals. It has three contacts: Tip (for the left channel), Ring (for the right channel or signal), and Sleeve (for ground).
   • This type of connector is commonly used for instruments, audio interfaces, or devices with headphone outputs, line-level signals, or other balanced stereo applications.

2. XLR Connector:

   • The cable features a male or female XLR connector on the other end, depending on the type of equipment you're connecting to. XLR connectors are the professional standard for balanced audio and are widely used in microphones, audio interfaces, and mixers.

3. Length (20 Meters):

   • The 20m length is ideal for situations where you need a longer reach between devices, making this cable suitable for live sound setups, studios, and other environments where equipment is placed far apart.

4. Signal Integrity:

   • These cables are designed to maintain the balanced audio signal from the TTS end, ensuring minimal interference and signal degradation over the 20-meter distance. This ensures high-quality audio even for longer cable runs.

5. Durability:

   • Heavy-duty construction with high-quality shielding (such as braided copper or foil) to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures a clean, noise-free signal over longer distances.

Pros:

1. Versatile: Allows you to connect devices with TTS outputs to XLR-equipped equipment, ideal for scenarios where you need a single cable solution for different types of gear.
2. Long Reach: The 20-meter length allows for flexible setups in larger spaces, such as stages, studios, or live events.
3. Noise-Free: The cable ensures minimal interference, maintaining high-quality audio transmission.
4. Durable: Built for heavy-duty use with robust shielding, making it suitable for professional environments.
5. Balanced Audio: Retains the integrity of the balanced audio signal for clearer, higher-quality sound.

Cons:

1. Specific Use Case: This cable is specifically for connecting TTS devices to XLR equipment. It may not be versatile enough for setups where only TTS or XLR equipment is used without needing conversion.
2. Signal Loss: Over long distances (20 meters), some minor signal degradation can occur, though quality cables can minimize this effect.
3. Cost: Depending on the quality of the cable and connectors, these can be more expensive than standard TTS-to-TTS cables or short XLR cables.

Who Should Rent It?:

• Sound Engineers and Technicians: For connecting line-level devices with TTS connectors to XLR-based audio systems or mixers, especially in large setups or live sound environments.
• Musicians and Bands: Useful when you need to run a long cable from a device with a TTS output (such as a guitar or keyboard) to an XLR input on a mixer or audio interface.
• Recording Studios: Perfect for connecting various studio equipment, such as audio interfaces or keyboards with TTS outputs, to a mixing desk or recording device with XLR inputs.
• Event Organizers: For running long cables from portable audio equipment or instruments to professional audio setups with XLR inputs.

TTS to XLR cables (20m) are essential for professionals who need to connect devices with TTS outputs (often line-level or stereo) to XLR-based audio equipment. They combine the convenience of TTS connectors with the reliability and sound quality of XLR connections, offering a long-reach solution for audio setups in studios, live events, or larger sound systems.
