How to choose your audio cable?
The type of connection depends on the equipment. The XLR balanced rejects interference over long distances (microphones, sound systems, studio). The jack comes in 3.5 mm (headphones, smartphone) and 6.35 mm (instruments, amplifier): adapters bridge the gap. For speakers, banana plugs facilitate a clean connection. Prefer an OFC copper conductor and good shielding to minimize losses and interference. Also check that the plug is stereo (TRS) or mono (TS) depending on the use, to avoid unpleasant surprises.

Frequently asked questions
XLR balanced cable or unbalanced jack?
The XLR balanced cable eliminates interference over long distances, ideal for microphones and sound systems. The unbalanced jack is suitable for short connections (headphones, instrument). For long lengths, prefer balanced.
What is the difference between 3.5 and 6.35 mm jack?
The 3.5 mm jack is used for headphones and smartphones; the 6.35 mm, larger, is used for instruments, amplifiers and professional equipment. The signal is the same: a simple adapter allows switching from one format to the other.
What are banana plugs used for?
Banana plugs screw onto the end of a speaker cable and connect cleanly to the terminals of an amplifier. They ensure a reliable contact and a faster connection than a bare wire.
