The SAMIDIRED1 connects MIDI-compatible keyboards, drum machines, sequencers, and audio interfaces in studios, home setups, and live rigs where space is tight. At just 1 foot long, this cable handles close-proximity connections without excess slack cluttering your workspace.

This 5-pin DIN MIDI cable transmits digital performance data between MIDI devices with reliable signal integrity. The oxygen-free copper conductors ensure clean data transmission, while the spiral shield design blocks electromagnetic interference that can cause timing issues or data dropouts.

Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion and provide secure connections that won't loosen during use. The OFC spiral shielding offers both EMI/RFI rejection and cable flexibility, important for setups where the cable may need to bend around other equipment. The discrete 5-pin wiring follows MIDI standard specifications for universal compatibility.

Use this cable to connect a MIDI controller to an audio interface, link drum machines to sequencers, or chain multiple MIDI devices in small studio setups. The 1-foot length works well for rack-mounted gear, desktop music production setups, or connecting devices that sit directly adjacent to each other.

The cable features standard 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors on both ends and includes everything needed for immediate use. No additional adapters or converters required.

Seismic Audio backs this MIDI cable with a one-year warranty and ships direct from our facility.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What devices can I connect with this MIDI cable?

This cable connects any two devices with standard 5-pin DIN MIDI ports, including keyboards, drum machines, sequencers, audio interfaces, and hardware synthesizers. The 5-pin discrete wiring ensures compatibility with all MIDI standard equipment, from vintage gear to modern controllers.

Is 1 foot long enough for most studio setups?

The 1-foot length works well for rack-mounted equipment, desktop music production setups, or connecting devices that sit directly next to each other. For connections across a room or between distant equipment, you'll need a longer MIDI cable like our 3-foot, 6-foot, or 10-foot options.

Does this cable carry audio signals or just MIDI data?

This cable only transmits MIDI data (performance information like note on/off, velocity, and controller messages). MIDI cables do not carry audio signals. You'll need separate audio cables to hear sound from your connected devices through speakers or headphones.

Will this cable work with USB MIDI controllers?

This cable connects devices with traditional 5-pin DIN MIDI ports only. USB MIDI controllers require either a USB cable to connect directly to a computer, or a USB-to-MIDI interface box if you need to connect to hardware with 5-pin MIDI ports.

How does the shielding protect my MIDI signals?

The OFC spiral shield blocks electromagnetic interference from power cables, wireless devices, and other electronic equipment that can cause MIDI timing problems or data corruption. This shielding is especially important in studios with lots of electronic gear running simultaneously.
