Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series Neutrik XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable (10', Black)

The Kopul Studio Elite 4000 Series XLR M to XLR F Microphone Cable (10') is a studio-quality cable for connecting mics to mixers, preamps, audio interfaces, and recorders or to be used in any other application where XLR connectivity is required. The cable is engineered to be both quiet and durable, and is well suited for critical recording and broadcast situations.

Studio Elite 4000 Series cables are made from 24 AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. A 98% braided outer shield makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.

98% braided shield offers protection from EMI and RFI noise.
Twin-conductive PVC inner shielding provides 100% coverage of the core conductor. It helps keep the cable's signal from radiating and affecting nearby cables, and also helps prevent external EMI from penetrating to the cable's core.
24 AWG oxygen-free stranded copper inner core provides the best possible conductivity.
Cotton yarn reduces electrostatic and microphonic noise.
All solder points shrink-wrapped for protection.
Neutrik XX silver connectors offer high conductivity.
Cast zinc shell and chuck style strain relief.

Pearstone PM-TRS 1/4" TRS Male to 1/4" TRS Male Interconnect Cable (10')

The 10 foot PM-TRS 1/4" TRS Male to 1/4" TRS Male Interconnect Cable from Pearstone features Rean connectors with nickel-plated contacts on both ends, 24-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, and spiral shielding to protect against EMI and RFI noise. Additionally, twin conductive PVC shields reduce electrostatic noise and provide a clean signal path while retaining good flexibility for those occasions that demand it.

The connector's molded strain relief over metal shells provides excellent durability and allows for increased protection between the OFC conductors and the connectors. The cable is ideal for both live and studio applications, including connecting powered speakers to studio monitor controllers, or connecting synthesizers and outboard gear to mixers, or wherever balanced connections are indicated.

Rean male 1/4" TRS connectors with nickel-plated contacts on both ends of the interconnect cable offer excellent durability
The 24-gauge OFC conductors maximize conductivity, making the cable ideal for both live and studio applications
Spiral shielding rejects both EMI and RFI noise and offers a clean signal path
Twin conductive PVC shields minimize electrostatic noise, while being flexible and durable for running the cable in tight spots
Metal shells provide rigid strain relief and protect the solder points between the OFC conductors and the connectors for greater cable longevity

JBL 308P MKII Reviews

Seems excellent for the money

An excellent deal. I’m not using these as my primary reference monitors, but as secondary. They seem solid with a balanced tone and powerful with some nice eq options.

Great Monitor

I recently purchased the JBL 305P MkII Powered 5 Two-Way Studio Monitor, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. As someone who values high-quality sound for both music production and casual listening, this monitor has truly impressed me. The clarity and precision of the speaker is outstanding. The 5 woofer delivers a deep, rich bass response, while the 1 tweeter ensures crystal-clear highs. The sound is incredibly balanced, providing an accurate representation of my mixes. The build quality of the JBL 305P MkII feels solid and durable. The monitor is compact and fits perfectly on my desk without taking up too much space. Despite its size, it is surprisingly powerful and can fill a room with clear, detailed sound.

Is there an EU power cord version available? One for use in Germany?
Asked by: Ryan
It supports both US and European voltages so all you would need is a standard US to German plug adapter not a voltage convertor. Also, the end which goes into the speaker is the standard computer power cable format so a cable should be easy to find.

Do I need anything else to connect to my Mac Studio? Cables etc
Asked by: Dan
Aside from the items included in this JBL 305P MkII Studio Monitor Kit, the only other item you will need is a short standard stereo aux cable such as the Pearstone Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Male Cable - Black, 3' (B&amp;H # PEMMSA103B) which will be used to connect the computer's 3.5mm audio output (headphone jack) to the 3.5mm TRS input on the Senal PMC-II Passive Monitor Controller. If you are using a USB audio interface and want to connect the PMC-II and JBL speakers to the interface, you can use the audio output(s) from the interface and connect them to the right/left XLR-1/4&quot; combo jack inputs OR to the 3.5mm input on the PMC-II Monitor Controller using the appropriate cables (not included).

Can the amplifier be bypassed to use as passive speakers?
Asked by: Anonymous
This is an active speaker, with the amplifiers built in, so it would not be used as a passive speaker. JBL LSR708i 8&quot; Master Reference Monitor (Single), BH #JBLSR708I would be a very god quality passive reference monitor to consider.

Can you add a subwoofer?
Asked by: Steven
Yes, a subwoofer such as the JBL LSR310S 200W Powered 10&quot; Subwoofer(BH #JBLSR310S) is a great pairing for the JBL 308P MkII Powered 8&quot; Two-Way Studio Monitors. You would feed the subwoofer from your main output signal, then feed the monitors from the subwoofer outputs. Link to LSR310S here: https://bhpho.to/3DCLlTY

None of my audio output devices have balanced connections - yet the back of the 305P's only have balanced inputs. If I use, let's say an audio cable that has a TRS connector on end (going to the speakers), and an RCA cable on the other end (going to my audio sources), will this work with the 305's?
Asked by: Bernd
It will work. For instance, I use them with my phone headset jack as the source. It may pick up more noise, but that may be an issue only with very long cables and in a professional situation. I never noticed any noise with my setup.
