Cardas FRCA-MXLR (Pair)

Ultimate Signal Fidelity

The Cardas FRCA-MXLR adapter is the premier solution for the demanding audiophile who needs to bridge different connectivity standards within their high-end system. Designed with Cardas Audio's uncompromising philosophy, this adapter allows for the conversion of a female RCA jack to a male XLR, maintaining signal integrity at the highest possible level. The use of high-purity materials ensures that the transition from a single-ended to a balanced environment does not result in any loss of dynamics or detail in the playback.

Superior Materials and Craftsmanship

Each pair of Cardas FRCA-MXLR adapters is hand-assembled in Bandon, Oregon, using non-magnetic, eutectic brass as a base. The contact surfaces are plated with rhodium over silver, a choice that provides excellent conductivity and long-term resistance to corrosion. Its robust construction offers not only mechanical stability but also acts as effective shielding, rejecting RF interference and clock signal noise that could degrade the listening experience.

Design Excellence

Cardas Audio has paid particular attention to the geometry and shielding of the adapter, incorporating the company's legendary GRFA female connector. Internal wiring is performed with specially selected Cardas chassis wire and Quad-Eutectic solder, ensuring a perfectly transparent path for the audio signal. The attention to detail extends to the gold-plated brass nut, giving the product an aesthetic that perfectly complements high-end audio systems.

Flexibility and Application

The FRCA-MXLR adapter is ideal for connecting sources or preamplifiers with RCA outputs to amplifiers or active speakers with XLR inputs. The standard configuration of the adapter sets pin 2 as 'hot', while pins 1 and 3 are grounded to the RCA chassis, providing a reliable and noise-free connection. It is an essential tool for any audiophile seeking ultimate compatibility without sacrificing sound quality, proving that even an adapter can be an upgrade for your system.
