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

General

The AxLabs STEREO Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4″ Output Jack Black Nickel is a replacement part for instruments with a stereo output or active electronics. If you’re experiencing crackling, signal drop-outs or a plug that won’t stay in place, a new output jack is often the solution. This jack is finished in black nickel and designed for a 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) stereo connection, ensuring your instrument connects reliably to your cable and amplifier (or amplifier chain).

Double rings for optimal signal transmission

This Pure Tone stereo jack features dual rings for optimal signal transmission and the lowest possible noise. According to the manufacturer, the design creates up to 100% more contact surface area at all contact points, ensuring the connection remains more stable when the instrument is moved. In practice, you’ll notice this as less ‘crackle’ that can occur with pressure contacts. Furthermore, high and low frequencies are transmitted more effectively, which can result in a more balanced sound and fewer unwanted frequency peaks.

Secure grip and higher load capacity

As well as the improved contact points, the jack features a tensioned design that clamps the plug securely in place, so your cable is less likely to develop slack. The increased metal mass also carries more of the signal, which helps to keep your signal path as solid as possible. Furthermore, this jack is designed for high-load applications and, according to the manufacturer, can handle up to 500 volts. A neat, durable upgrade for anyone looking for a reliable stereo output jack for (active) instruments.
