Practical guides for brands, retailers and installers who buy audio cables.
Learn how to source and specify custom cables, how OEM, ODM and private label differ, how to tell a factory from a sourcing partner, and the cable basics, such as TS, TRS, XLR and capacitance, that help you choose the right build.
An audio cable factory owns production equipment and makes cables itself. A sourcing partner, often a trading company, sells cables made by one or more manufacturers and manages specification…
In audio cable sourcing, OEM means the cable is built to your specification or drawing, ODM means you adapt a supplier's existing design, and private label means an existing product is sold under…
A custom cable spec sheet is a short document that settles every decision a supplier would otherwise have to guess: cable construction, connectors, wiring, length and tolerance, tests, branding and…
Starting your own guitar cable brand means choosing a cable range, writing a specification a supplier can build to, approving samples, and preparing retail packaging and compliance documents for…
MMCX and 0.78 mm 2-Pin are the two widely used detachable connectors on in-ear monitors (IEMs). MMCX is a small snap-on coaxial connector that lets the cable rotate.
Instrument cable capacitance is the capacitance between the cable's center conductor and its shield, usually given in picofarads per meter (pF/m) or per foot (pF/ft).
A TS cable has two conductors and carries one unbalanced signal. A TRS cable has three conductors and carries either one balanced signal or two unbalanced (stereo) signals.
Sourcing custom audio cables from China means defining your cable in a written spec, choosing a supplier type, comparing quotes on equal terms, approving a golden sample, agreeing trade and payment…
