Extron CSM 6 Captive Screw to Female 3.5 mm Mini Stereo Jack Adapte...
The Extron CSM 6 is a high-quality audio adapter that converts balanced audio signals from a 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector to unbalanced stereo audio via a female 3.5 mm mini stereo jack. Designed specifically for compatibility with Extron products featuring 5-pin captive screw audio inputs and outputs, this adapter enables seamless integration between balanced and unbalanced audio equipment. Its advanced internal wiring configuration prevents potential equipment damage that can occur when directly connecting mismatched balanced and unbalanced audio sources, making it an essential tool for professional AV installers.
Compact and reliable, the CSM 6 features a captive screw plug on one end for secure, tool-free termination to Extron devices and a standard female 3.5 mm mini jack on the other for easy connection to laptops, media players, consumer audio devices, or other unbalanced sources. With a 6-inch (15 cm) cable length, it provides just the right reach for tight rack or under-table installations without excess slack. Ideal for classrooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, and control systems where Extron switchers, amplifiers, or matrix switchers need to interface with varied audio sources.
