Cordial CFY 3 WMM

I use to play as a one man band but sometimes I use my Mp3 player for backgrounds/backtracks. For many years I used RCA phono cable and jack 3,5mm together with two adapters for 6,3 jack on the phono end into a mixing console. The sound was always good and clean, but out of a pure curiosity I bought this one and tested it. I was amazed by the fact that the sound was not only much cleaner but much louder too. I was always having trouble to get enough volume of the signal and I didn't want to use any additional preamp, but now the sound was so loud that I don't have to turn the gain knob more than 12 o'clock. The connectors are metal with color code and the cable feels very easy to handle. I hate when cables are messy and twisted. This one keeps the straight line and never gets messy. I recommend this to everyone as I found it cheap and very good sounding cable with professional look and feel. This is one of my favourites now and since I tested it I never looked back and used phono cable again.

I use these cables most commonly with stereo Korg Volca boxes going into a mixing console or audio interface, and any other stereo sound source that only has a mini-jack output, particularly the ones with low output gain.

Cordial use a sleek, sturdy high-quality metal housing on the mini-jack side which is like going to heaven after the legions of flimsy mini-jack connectors you may have already encountered in your lifetime.

XLR side are industry standard Neutrik connectors, colour-coded for your convenience.

Clarity is perfect, no cons from me, great service and delivery from Thomann, highly recommend.

And I mean that most sincerely. I have had this cable for 5 years and used it for a long time to input my computer with backing tracks into my PA. I now use it on my mixing desk to plug iPhones etc in in the rehearsal rooms and when the mixing desk is at home it is in the front room hooked up to the TV - via this cable. After five years there is no sign of wear and tear, never had issues with the connectors, never had to perform any kind of maintenance on it and it has been in very frequent use (I used ot gig 3 times a week with it - I still do but just dont use the cable for laptop - I have a band for that stuff now)

Well worth the purchase

I've been using this cable for a few months now and I can say it does the job well. It seems a bit thin at first but is quite durable. Even with high gain there is no noticeable noise on the PA - I mostly use it on live shows with modern consoles (digital) that only have XLR inputs. Most probably you will get more noise from devices (mobile phones, tablets) connected to with this cable rather then from the cable itself. I own bunch of different cables from various manufactures and Cordial seems to me most value for the money. I recommend this cable to anyone looking for reliable cable to connect mobile devices to your mixing desk or soundcard.
