A "sonorus" approach: balanced connection serving resolution
The VOVOX sonorus direct S aligns with the brand's philosophy: prioritizing the most direct and coherent transmission of the audio signal possible. While many cables focus primarily on strong shielding against interference, this model deliberately opts for an unshielded construction and a selection of very pure materials. The goal is clear: to preserve the subtlety of information, stereo image stability, and sense of depth, especially in demanding studio chains.
This approach naturally positions it as a reference cable for controlled environments (studio, control room, fixed installation), while reminding a simple rule: depending on the electromagnetic context, a shielded cable may be preferable to secure conditions on stage or in heavily equipped technical setups.
For whom and for what uses? A studio cable made for balanced signals
The sonorus direct S is designed for all balanced connections where precise reproduction and enhanced spatial sensation are sought: microphone connections, audio interface outputs, links between preamps, compressors, equalizers, converters, and patch bays, as well as connections to active speakers. It is aimed at sound engineers, producers, musicians, and creators who want to ensure reliability in their chain and benefit from cabling that is both transparent and musical.
Since this cable is unshielded, a slight risk of interference may exist depending on the installation (nearby mains power, power strips, dimmers, transformers, lighting, stage). For live applications or risky environments, a shielded cable like the VOVOX link protect S is recommended to reduce susceptibility to interference.
Design and operation: material purity, cable direction, and signal coherence
Solid core conductors: geometry designed for precision
The VOVOX sonorus direct S uses solid core conductors for both signal and ground. This approach aims for stable transmission, with very clear transient reproduction and an enhanced sense of presence, particularly appreciated on vocals, acoustic instruments, overheads, or detailed line signals (reverbs, delays, synths, stereo buses).
Highly pure copper and selected insulators
The brand emphasizes the use of the purest available copper, combined with insulation and structural choices oriented towards "low coloration": natural fibers around each conductor, as well as very pure polymers free of pigments and plasticizers. Together, these contribute to a more open listening experience and better perception of micro-details, while maintaining a neutral signature and coherent response across the entire useful frequency range.
Unshielded: preferred in studio, adaptable in disturbed environments
The absence of shielding is an integral part of the concept: it can favor very fine reproduction but requires careful routing. To optimize stability, avoid running this cable parallel to mains cables over long distances, limit unnecessary loops, and maintain physical separation from power supplies and transformers.
Cable direction: a detail that matters
For optimal results, it is important to respect the connection direction: the marking with the brand should be connected on the receiver side of the signal. In practice, this means placing the cable marking on the input side (for example, the input of a preamp, interface, active speaker, or device), and the other end on the output side (microphone, line output of a device, etc.).

Questions frequently asked
What type of connector is used on the Vovox Sonorus Direct S500?
This 5 m cable features a 6.35 mm stereo male jack (TRS) to a 3-pin female XLR. It is designed for balanced audio connections.
Is this TRS jack to XLR cable suitable for an active speaker?
The male TRS to female XLR configuration allows connection of devices and active speakers with matching connectors. It can also be used between audio interface outputs and balanced inputs.
Is the Sonorus Direct S shielded?
No, it has an unshielded design using solid-core copper conductors of very high purity. This design requires keeping the cable away from mains power supplies, transformers, and dimmers to minimize interference.
In which direction should this Vovox cable be connected?
The marking with the brand name should be placed on the signal receiving side, that is, at the input side. For example, the marking should be connected to the input of a preamp, interface, or active speaker.
Why choose an unshielded cable in the studio?
The natural fibers around the conductors and polymers free from pigments and plasticizers help transmit micro-details. In a controlled studio environment, this design aims for a stable stereo image and detailed sound reproduction.
