Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋‍♂️

1. 🔊 Will this work with Stereo cables?

   • While you can physically plug a stereo (TRS) cable into this Mono version, it will only connect the Tip and Sleeve. If you need a balanced or stereo connection, we recommend the Stereo Locking version.

2. 🔌 Does it fit standard rack panels?

   • Yes. This is designed with the universal D-style mounting flange, meaning it fits perfectly into standard Neutrik-style punch-outs.

3. 🔧 Is it hard to release the cable?

   • Not at all. The release lever is designed for quick operation with one finger, but it is recessed enough to prevent being pressed by accident.
