W Audio

Interconnects are W Audio’s territory: correctly wired, sensibly built cables for everyday gigging use, sold as the audio line of the Prolight Concepts Group and found in DJ setups, small venues and install racks across the UK.

XLR microphone cables run from 0.25m patch lengths through 1m, 3m, 5m and 10m up to 20m, alongside short XLR adaptor leads including male to twin female splits. Conversion leads cover the combinations mobile DJs and installers reach for daily: 3.5mm stereo jack to twin 6.35mm mono jacks, 3.5mm jack to twin XLR male or twin phono for feeding active speakers from laptops and media players, and twin phono to twin XLR male for mixer-to-amplifier runs. Phono-to-phono pairs and a Speakon lead round things out.

Buying logic is simple: graduated lengths keep stage patching tidy, the 0.25m XLR leads earn their keep in rack tidies and processor patching, and spares matter because cables are consumables in this trade. A trade account makes topping up between jobs painless.
