The Korena take

A 13-foot stereo RCA pair for connecting consumer or DJ gear — mixers, turntables, tape decks, powered speakers with RCA inputs.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • DJ mixer to powered speakers or an amplifier across a booth
  • Connecting a turntable or CD deck to a receiver a few feet away
  • Home studio gear with RCA outs feeding monitors or a stereo amp

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Balanced pro line runs, where TRS or XLR resists hum better
  • Turntables needing a separate ground wire this doesn't provide
  • Instrument or microphone connections

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Dual RCA, both ends

One cable handles left and right in a bonded pair. No stray single leads to track down behind a rack.

Detail 02

13.2 ft length

Reaches across a DJ booth or from a rack to speakers on stands. Long for RCA, which is unbalanced.

Detail 03

Unbalanced connection

At this length hum and interference are possible near power cables or dimmers. Route it away from AC lines.

Detail 04

RCA connectors

Consumer and DJ standard. Pro interfaces and mixers with 1/4" or XLR jacks need adapters.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No ground wire — a turntable still needs its own ground lead to the amp
  2. 02Keep it clear of power cords at this length to avoid buzz
  3. 03Color coding tells you left from right; check it before you route the cable

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Is 13 feet too long for RCA?

It's workable. RCA is unbalanced so it picks up interference more readily than balanced cable, but at this length in a normal setup it's fine if you route it away from AC.

02Can I use this for a subwoofer?

You can use one of the two legs for a mono sub feed. The second leg just sits unused.

03Will this connect my turntable?

Yes, for the audio. Turntables also need their ground wire attached to the amp's ground post or you'll get hum, and that wire isn't part of this cable.

04Does it work with 1/4" inputs?

Not directly. You'll need RCA-to-1/4" adapters or a different cable, since the connectors don't mate.
