Pro-Ject Connect it Phono DS 5P/MiniXLR (TB)
The Connect it Phono DS 5P/MiniXLR (TB) is a dedicated tonearm cable designed to extract the finest detail from your turntable. Connecting a 5-pin DIN tonearm socket directly to your phono stage via MiniXLR plugs, it provides a True Balanced (tonearm-balanced) signal path for turntables and phono stages that support balanced connections, reducing noise and interference still further compared to an unbalanced RCA setup.
Pro-Ject's DS (Dual Silver) line uses a 99.99% OFC copper conductor to carry the delicate phono-level signal, with all connectors silver-plated for high conductivity and low contact resistance. Silver oxide, should it form over time, is equally conductive, so the connection remains reliable long term. Shielding is provided by a helical OFC copper braid combined with a carbon-saturated conductive sub-jacket, giving thorough EMI rejection whilst keeping the cable flexible and easy to dress behind a rack. The outer jacket is a thermoplastic elastomer for durability and neat cable management.
At 1.23 metres the cable suits most turntable setups without excess slack, and the low 90 pF capacitance ensures it works correctly with moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. Note: to take advantage of True Balanced Connection your Pro-Ject turntable must be fitted with an MC cartridge or the Pick it PRO Balanced. Handmade in Europe to Pro-Ject's exacting standards, this is an ideal upgrade for any balanced-capable turntable fitted with a 5-pin DIN tonearm socket.
