## Description

desertcart.com: SNANSHI USB C to XLR Cable 6.6ft, Audio Output Only (NOT for Mics/Recording), Unbalanced Type C to XLR Cord for Speaker (Requires Active Speaker), Amp, Mixer, for iPhone 17/16/15, Galaxy S25 : Musical Instruments

## Features

- ⚠️ REQUIRES ACTIVE/POWERED SPEAKERS (Read Before Buying)：This cable will NOT work with passive speakers. Your speaker must be plugged into a wall outlet and have a built-in amplifier. Do not buy this for passive home theater systems, unpowered monitors, or passive DJ speakers. If your speaker does not have its own power cord, this cable will result in complete silence
- ⚠️ 3-STEP SETUP REQUIRED (Device Configuration Needed): While this cable requires no drivers, it is not "plug it in and it instantly works." You must configure your device: 1) Go to your device Settings -> Sound -> and ENABLE "USB Audio Output". 2) Plug the cable into your phone and speaker. 3) Turn up the volume on BOTH your device and the speaker separately. Note: If your device does not have a USB Audio Output option, this cable will not work
- ⚠️ STRICTLY ONE-WAY AUDIO (OUTPUT ONLY) :Designed specifically to play audio FROM your USB-C device (phone/laptop) TO an XLR speaker or mixer. It cannot record audio, it cannot receive microphone input, and it does not provide phantom power. If you try to connect a microphone to your phone with this cable, or try to send audio from a mixer back into your computer, it will not work
- ⚠️ FATAL WARNING: DISABLE 48V PHANTOM POWER If you are connecting this cable to a professional mixing console or audio interface, you MUST ensure the 48V Phantom Power switch is turned OFF before plugging it in. Sending 48V power into this cable will instantly fry the built-in DAC chip and permanently destroy the cord. This is an output-only cable and does not require external power to function
- IDEAL FOR CHURCHES, DJ EVENTS & HOME STUDIOS The ultimate solution for sending music from your modern USB-C device directly into professional setups. Whether you are running backing tracks into a church sound system, playing a playlist through a DJ event PA system, this cable delivers stable playback.
- 🔊 SOUND QUALITY & CABLE LENGTH EXPECTATIONS Features a built-in DAC chip for clean consumer-grade audio playback, perfect for home listening, small venues, or churches. Because this uses an Unbalanced wiring design, the 6.6ft length is optimal for short runs. Keep this cable away from high-RF environments (like WiFi routers or wireless mic systems) to prevent crackling or hum. Not recommended for critical professional studio mastering
- 📱 SPECIFIC DEVICE COMPATIBILITY Tested and ready for modern devices lacking a 3.5mm jack. Compatible with iPhone 17/16 Pro Max/15 Series, Samsung Galaxy S25/S24/S23, iPad Pro/Air, and MacBooks. This cable outputs a combined mono signal to the XLR connector. Not compatible with PS5, Xbox, or devices managed by enterprise administrators that block USB audio
