The audio cable is processed protrude. I use it to connect my 202 portable MP3 player Archos Gmini XS to the amplifier of my hi-fi system. In combination a surprisingly good sound experience is guaranteed. Since it is a moving part of the application, it is just important that movements are not rewarded with crackles. Unfortunately this is not the case for all manufacturers. But the cable from Hama convinces here by the fact that it is not noticed. Quick and easy it is extended to a portable device a home stereo. What more do you want.
