DUNU unleashes Apple iOS support for the Q-Lock PLUS modular system!

[DUNU-Topsound]

Ever since our popular, patented quick-switch modular cable system debuted in 2018, users have clamored for digital plugs that directly support their jack-less smartphones. Last year, we released an USB Type-C digital plug for Android, Windows, and macOS/iPadOS devices. Now, the Digital Q-Lock PLUS Plug for Apple iOS devices is officially here!

The Digital Q-Lock PLUS Apple Lightning plug uses official Apple-certified components for maximum device compatibility, including the latest generation of iPhone 13/Pro/Max/mini devices running the latest versions of iOS 15. For a full list of Apple devices known to be compatible with the Digital Q-Lock PLUS plug (irrespective of USB Type-C or Apple Lightning port connectivity), please expand the spoiler tab.

Any idea when this will go on sale on AliExpress?

 

[CANiSLAYu]

Will this be made in the silver color way to match Blanche?

Any idea when this will go on sale on AliExpress?

For the time being, it is being sold only from our direct shop.

Will this be made in the silver color way to match Blanche?

The current production is offered only in the champagne/black color. The silver/grey pattern will come later.

 

[Wiljen]

very cool, I'm glad to see this one. Now about that 6.3mm version

 

[buffalomatt]

Might be a dumb question, but this would work with the cable included with the SA6, right?

 

[Imusicman]

Order placed.

 

[DUNU-Topsound]

Might be a dumb question, but this would work with the cable included with the SA6, right?

Yes. The cable included with the Studio SA6 is the DUW-03, which uses our Q-Lock PLUS modular plug system.

I'm confused, what cables work with this product? Description here and your website is incredibly vague.

It seems that you need a cable with this kind of connector. It may be proprietary, I have no idea.

That's my photo showing off one end of the FALCON PRO stock cable, which uses DUNU's Q-Lock LITE system. It won't work with the product announced in this thread.

Jeez. I’m out. Nice thought tho … adding yet another connector as we don’t really have enough
