Inakustik Connect 212 Phono XLR (0,75 m)

The Inakustik Connect 212 Phono XLR cable is specifically designed to connect a turntable equipped with a balanced XLR output to a compatible phono preamplifier. Since the signals delivered by MM and MC cartridges are extremely weak, their transmission requires a connection that offers excellent immunity to external interference. Developed as part of the S25 series, this cable combines a dual-mono balanced architecture, high-purity OFC copper conductors, a foamed polyethylene dielectric, high-density shielding, and a separate ground wire to ensure a silent, neutral, and perfectly faithful reproduction. Optimized for MM and MC cartridges The Inakustik Connect 212 Phono XLR cable has been developed specifically to transmit the very low-amplitude signals produced by moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Its architecture minimizes losses and interference to preserve the full richness of the information engraved in the groove. It thus ensures a particularly transparent connection between the turntable and the phono preamplifier, without coloration or compromise. Balanced architecture The Inakustik Connect 212 phono cable adopts a true balanced architecture in which the positive and negative conductors of each channel are completely separated. This design reduces crosstalk between channels and improves interference rejection thanks to the balanced XLR connection. An independent ground wire completes the set to effectively drain stray currents and limit the risk of hum. The result is a more stable soundstage and a particularly quiet noise floor. OFC copper conductors The Inakustik Connect 212 XLR phono cable uses high-purity OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) conductors combined with a foamed polyethylene dielectric. Thanks to its very low dielectric constant, this material reduces losses and capacitive effects that could alter delicate phono signals. The timbres thus retain their full richness, while micro-details are transmitted with great precision. High-density shielding In order to effectively protect the analog signals, the cable benefits from a shield braid composed of 186 copper strands. This high-density protection isolates the conductors from electromagnetic interference generated by Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, or nearby power supplies. Combined with the balanced connection and the separate ground wire, it ensures a particularly silent reproduction, free from hum and noise. Gold-plated metal connectors The Inakustik Connect 212 Phono XLR cable is equipped with all-metal XLR connectors offering excellent mechanical robustness. The gold-plated brass contacts ensure low contact resistance as well as excellent protection against oxidation. Each cable is assembled by soldering and then subjected to an individual check for continuity and short circuits to ensure consistent quality. Thanks to its balanced architecture, its separate ground wire, its OFC copper conductors, its foamed polyethylene dielectric, and its high-density shielding, the Inakustik Connect 212 Phono XLR cable offers the ideal conditions for transmitting the extremely sensitive signals of MM and MC cartridges. An audiophile solution of choice to take full advantage of turntables and phono preamplifiers equipped with XLR connections.
