The QED Connect 3.5mm Jack to Phono Cable sits within QED’s Connect range — an affordable entry-level series designed to deliver reliable signal transfer at a budget-friendly price. It connects any device with a 3.5mm stereo headphone output (smartphones, laptops, tablets, MP3 players) to an amplifier, receiver, or active speaker fitted with standard RCA phono inputs.
Construction
The cable uses 99.99% oxygen-free copper conductors with HDPE (high-density polyethylene) dielectric to maintain signal integrity. The compact two-into-one design splits a single 3.5mm TRS jack into a pair of colour-coded RCA phono plugs. All connectors are custom-moulded and 24K gold-plated for low-resistance, corrosion-free contact over the long term.
QED’s stepped 3.5mm jack plug features a two-stage barrel that accommodates phone cases without requiring removal — a practical detail that avoids the need to strip cases before each connection. The outer jacket is a soft, flexible PVC in satin black with a 4mm outer diameter, keeping the cable lightweight and easy to route.
Within the QED Range
The Connect series sits below QED’s Performance and Reference tiers, offering essential connectivity for everyday use. While it shares the same oxygen-free copper conductor philosophy as the higher ranges, the Connect cables use simpler construction and packaging — including fully biodegradable packaging — to keep costs low. For applications demanding higher bandwidth or more sophisticated shielding, QED’s Performance Audio J2P provides an upgrade path with Anamate plugs and improved geometry.
