Technical specifications

Which cable should I choose?

Select the correct connector format and allow adequate length for cable routing and access to equipment. Electrical compatibility, suitable conductor gauge and correct installation matter more than claims of universal sonic improvement.

Frequently asked questions

Does the length apply to the complete cable?

The chosen length applies to each cable assembly or to each lead in a stereo pair, where the product title says pair.

Can Kronos AV help with compatibility?

Yes. Speak with our team to confirm connectors, wire terminations and system requirements before ordering.

Understanding the design

A turntable cartridge produces a comparatively small signal, so grounding and sensible cable routing are important considerations. Dedicated phono RCA cables include a ground connection where specified, while a standalone ground wire is not itself an audio interconnect.

Using it in a Hi-Fi system

Connect a turntable to an appropriate MM or MC phono stage, rather than a conventional line input, unless a suitable phono preamplifier is already built into the turntable. The ground connection should follow the turntable and phono-stage manuals.

Choosing the right length or connection

Check whether the turntable has detachable RCA leads, and whether its ground wire attaches by a post, spade or other terminal. Keep signal wiring sensibly separated from mains power adaptors when practical.

Melodika lists a 5-year series warranty for Sky Blue, subject to the manufacturer's current terms.

A question worth asking

Does every turntable need a separate ground lead? No. Some designs have an internal ground arrangement or fixed interconnects; check the equipment instructions.
