Technical specifications

Common questions

Which length should I choose?

Measure the actual installation route with sufficient slack, rather than just the straight-line distance.

Is it compatible with my components?

Confirm the connector, cable function and any special requirements of the connected devices before ordering. Kronos AV can advise if you are unsure.

Kronos AV advice

A suitable cable should fit the application, terminations, routing and required length. Claims about improvements in sound should be evaluated in the context of a correctly configured system.

Understanding the design

Balanced XLR cables link appropriate balanced audio inputs and outputs. Their wiring can help reject interference on longer signal runs when both connected components support a properly balanced connection.

Using it in a Hi-Fi system

Typical connections include a DAC or CD player feeding an integrated amplifier, or a preamplifier driving a suitable power amplifier. A standard line-level interconnect is different from a turntable phono connection with its particular gain and grounding requirements.

Choosing the right length or connection

Measure the space behind the rack and choose a length that avoids cable strain. Make sure the source output and amplifier input use the matching signal format and socket configuration.

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

A question worth asking

Does a different connector automatically sound better? No. The interface must match the equipment, and reliable signal transfer is the primary requirement.
