Overview

The Mogami GOLD AES TD DB25 XLR-03 is an 8-channel digital audio breakout cable that connects DB-25 equipped recording interfaces to individual XLR inputs and outputs. Built around Mogami's 3162 AES digital cable, it is engineered to meet the precise impedance specifications required by AES/EBU digital audio, ensuring clean signal transfer without the data errors that can plague lower-quality digital cabling. The DB-25 end uses the Tascam/Digi pinout format, making it directly compatible with AVID Pro Tools interfaces, Tascam digital recorders, and Panasonic equipment.

Each of the eight channels breaks out to both a male and female XLR connector, providing full send and return capability from a single cable run. At 3 feet in length, this cable is sized for tight rack environments where the interface and connected gear are in close proximity. For studios running multi-channel digital workflows, this cable eliminates the tangle of individual AES cables and replaces them with a single, organized breakout—simplifying setup, troubleshooting, and signal routing across professional recording environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment is this cable designed to connect?

This cable breaks out a single DB-25 connector (Tascam/Digi pinout) into eight XLR channels (male and female), connecting digital recording machines from AVID, Panasonic, and Tascam to XLR-equipped devices.

Is this cable suitable for analog audio or only digital AES signals?

This cable uses Mogami 3162 wire, which is specifically designed for AES/EBU digital audio transmission. While it can physically carry analog signals, it is optimized for the impedance requirements of digital AES connections.

What is the length of this cable?

The cable is 3 feet long, as indicated by the "-03" in the model name. This makes it suitable for close-proximity rack connections.

Does the DB-25 connector use Tascam or Yamaha pinout?

This cable uses the Tascam/Digi format DB-25 pinout, which is also compatible with AVID interfaces. It is not wired for Yamaha pinout, so verify your equipment's pin configuration before purchasing.
