AxLabs Stereo Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4″ Output Jack 6.35 mm stereo jack

General

The STEREO Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4″ Output Jack is a high-quality replacement jack for instruments with a stereo output or active electronics. Ideal if your current output jack is crackling, experiencing signal drop-outs or simply needs replacing. This version has a nickel finish and is designed for a 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) stereo connector (TRS). Thanks to the well-thought-out contact design, your connection remains more reliable, even if your cable or plug moves slightly whilst you’re playing.

Double rings for a more stable signal

Whereas many standard jacks rely on limited contact points, this Pure Tone stereo jack uses double rings for optimal signal transmission and the lowest possible noise. According to the manufacturer, this provides up to 100% more contact surface area at all contact points. This ensures a more stable connection, reduces the risk of crackling caused by pressure contacts, and delivers a more consistent sound. In addition, both high and low frequencies are transmitted more effectively, resulting in a more balanced sound and fewer unwanted frequency peaks.

Secure grip and suitable for heavier use

In addition to the improved contact points, the jack features a tensioned design that holds the plug firmly in place. This is handy if you move around a lot on stage or in the rehearsal room, as your cable is less likely to become loose. The increased metal mass also carries more signal. Furthermore, this jack is designed for applications with higher voltage and, according to the manufacturer, can handle up to 500 volts. A smart upgrade for anyone looking for a reliable stereo output jack for (active) instrument electronics.
