Hi Guys,

sorry for this (probably stupid) question: i own a Focal Clear OG and it shipped with 3 different Cables, 1x 6.3mm 1x3,5mm and 1x 4 Pin XLR.
So both the 6.3 and 3.5mm Cables are now broken after 3 Years of everyday usage and i was just about to order a new Cable.
But now i wonder if i could just buy a 4Pin XLR to 6.3mm Adapter and use the original XLR cable?
I use it on an Fiio K5 Pro and Focusrite Scarlett, both with 6.3mm Jacks.

Can i just buy an Adapter and it works or does it fuck with the impedance or anything? I have 0 idea what XLR does.. i never used it :(
Would be nice since i could buy an adapter for a few € instead of an more expensive cable. (at least until this one breaks too.. holy these cables are awful for that price :D)

Yes. The 6.3 mm TRS (male plug) to 4-pin XLR adapter (female) as shown in your post will work. Confirm pin-out just in case.
