Modular IEM Cable and Replacement Plug Set for Switching Between Balanced and Unbalanced Audio Connections
Modular IEM cable and replacement plugs let you adapt a listening setup to different audio outputs by swapping plug ends. The THIEAUDIO Smart Switch design supports 4.4mm and 2.5mm balanced terminations alongside a 3.5mm unbalanced termination, reducing the need for bulky adapters.
The cable version uses silver-plated 26AWG OCC copper litz wires with a soft braided paracord covering and updated two-pin IEM connectors. For an existing matching modular cable, the separately selectable plugs-only set provides the 2.5mm, 3.5mm and 4.4mm plug ends without the cable.
