TELEFUNKEN STMC-10TXM 10 ft TRS to XLR Male Cable

Product overview

The TELEFUNKEN STMC-10TXM 10 ft TRS to XLR Male Cable is a 10 ft (3 m) TELEFUNKEN Studio Series TRS to XLR male cable, American-made with four high-strand count copper conductors, a braided copper shield and 24k gold-plated connectors.

TELEFUNKEN builds the STMC TXM cable to link a TRS output to an XLR input: audio interface or monitor controller outputs to studio monitors and powered loudspeakers with XLR inputs, and mixer or processor outputs to XLR line inputs. Premium 24k gold-plated connectors, silver solder joints and an ultra flexible jacket keep the connection clean and dependable, and a TELEFUNKEN cable tie wrap is included.

Studio Series construction

Inside the jacket, four high-strand count, high-purity copper conductors are each sealed in audiophile-grade, low loss polyethylene insulation, and the bundle is wrapped in a high density braided copper shield for maximum rejection of radio-frequency (RMI) and electromagnetic (EMI) interference. Low capacitance keeps transients and high frequencies detailed and transparent, and the audiophile-grade insulators ensure accurate signal transfer over the full length of the run.

TRS to XLR male

One end carries a 1/4-inch TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) plug for the output of an interface, mixer, monitor controller or processor; the other end carries a male XLR that plugs into the XLR input of a studio monitor, powered loudspeaker, amplifier or console. Both connectors are premium 24k gold-plated for reliable, low-resistance contact.

Made in the USA, backed for five years

TELEFUNKEN designs, manufactures and hand assembles the STMC Studio Series in the United States of America. Every joint is silver soldered for maximum conductivity and strength, and the ultra flexible construction lies flat and resists knots and tangling. Each cable is covered by TELEFUNKEN's 5 year "no fault" warranty.

One construction across the STMC range

The TELEFUNKEN STMC Studio Series is made as XLR, TRS to TRS, TRS to XLR male (TXM) and TRS to XLR female (TXF) cables, all with the same four-conductor copper construction, polyethylene insulation, braided copper shield and 24k gold-plated connectors. That makes it simple to wire a whole studio, from microphones and preamps to converters, outboard and monitors, to one consistent standard.

Choosing the length

Shivansh Electronics stocks the STMC TXM in 10 ft (3 m) and 30 ft (9.1 m) lengths. At 10 ft (3 m), the STMC-10TXM is a practical studio length, reaching across a control room or from a live-room position to a wall panel or preamp.

Routing and care

Run signal cables away from mains leads and lighting power where possible, and cross them at right angles where they must meet. Leave a little slack at each connector so the plug is never under strain, label both ends with the length and destination, and store coiled cables in a dry place with the connectors protected from dust.

In the box

• TELEFUNKEN STMC-10TXM 10 ft TRS to XLR Male Cable (10 ft (3 m), trs to male xlr)
