Quik Lok SX/164-5 - MIDI Cable 5Pin (Black) 5m

The Quik Lok SX/164-5 is a professional-grade 5-metre MIDI cable featuring male 5-pin DIN to male 5-pin DIN connectors. Belonging to the Quik Lok STRIX series, this MIDI lead is designed to provide dependable, low-noise signal transmission between MIDI devices over a moderate distance.

Key Features

• Length: 5.0 m
• Connectors: DIN 5-pin male → DIN 5-pin male, molded plastic housings
• Black jacket (BK) — Black exterior for discreet integration in rig setups
• STRIX Series Build Quality: Reliable construction matched to typical studio/stage use
  
• Standard MIDI Wiring Uses the central three pins of the DIN 5-pin standard for MIDI signal transfer

Benefits & Use Cases

• Ideal for connecting keyboards, synths, controllers, MIDI interfaces, and other MIDI-enabled gear
  
• Perfect for stage performance, studio setups, and moderate-length signal paths
• 5 m gives you flexibility without undue slack
• Black jacket helps it blend with equipment and reduces visual clutter

Considerations

• It’s a straight-through MIDI cable (no special “THRU wiring” unless specifically marketed)
• Keep cable length reasonable: beyond certain lengths, signal integrity can degrade (though 5 m is well within safe range)
• Route away from strong power cables or sources of interference to avoid noise
