SAMIDI10 - 5 Pin MIDI Cable - 10 Feet
The SAMIDI10 delivers reliable MIDI connectivity for musicians, producers, and live sound engineers who need to interconnect MIDI-enabled devices. This 10-foot cable handles the essential task of transmitting MIDI data between keyboards, drum machines, audio interfaces, lighting controllers, and other MIDI gear.
Built with serviceable 5-pin DIN connectors and metal headshells, this cable maintains signal integrity while allowing field repairs when needed. The discrete 5-pin wiring ensures proper MIDI data transmission without cross-talk or interference that can disrupt performance setups.
At 10 feet long, the SAMIDI10 provides enough reach for most studio configurations and stage setups without excess cable creating clutter. The metal connector shells resist damage from repeated plugging and unplugging, while the serviceable design means you can replace connectors rather than entire cables when wear occurs.
This MIDI cable works in any application requiring MIDI device interconnection - from home studios connecting keyboards to audio interfaces, to live rigs linking multiple synthesizers, to DJ setups coordinating lighting with music. The 10-foot length suits keyboard rigs, desktop studio configurations, and compact live setups where devices need separation without cable excess.
Simply connect 5-pin MIDI OUT from your source device to MIDI IN on your destination device. The cable comes ready to use with no additional adapters needed for standard MIDI connections.
Seismic Audio backs the SAMIDI10 with a one-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee, ensuring reliable MIDI connectivity for your productions and performances.

Frequently Asked Questions
What MIDI devices will this cable work with?
The SAMIDI10 works with any device featuring standard 5-pin DIN MIDI ports, including keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, audio interfaces, lighting controllers, and sequencers. This covers virtually all professional MIDI equipment from major manufacturers like Roland, Yamaha, Korg, and Akai.
Is 10 feet long enough for most studio and stage setups?
Ten feet provides sufficient reach for most desktop studio configurations and compact live rigs where you need to separate MIDI devices without excess cable. For larger stages or studios requiring longer runs, consider daisy-chaining multiple cables or upgrading to a longer length.
What does "serviceable connectors" mean and why does it matter?
Serviceable connectors allow you to disassemble the metal headshells and replace internal components if they wear out or get damaged. This extends cable life significantly compared to molded connectors that require complete cable replacement when connections fail, saving money on professional setups.
Can I use this cable for MIDI over long distances?
MIDI signals can travel reliably up to 50 feet over quality cables like the SAMIDI10. For runs longer than 50 feet, you'll need MIDI repeaters or converters to maintain signal strength and timing accuracy, as standard MIDI protocol has distance limitations.
Do I need any adapters to connect this to my audio interface?
Most professional audio interfaces use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI ports that connect directly to the SAMIDI10. However, some budget interfaces only offer USB MIDI, which requires a separate USB-to-MIDI interface box rather than a traditional MIDI cable like this one.
