PROEL AT180 - Professional Audio Adapter 6.3 mm Mono Female Jack to RCA Male
The Proel AT180 is an essential and highly reliable connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts who need to integrate equipment of different standards. This adapter converts a standard instrument or microphone connection (6.3 mm mono jack) to a male RCA connector, facilitating connections between professional audio equipment and consumer devices or DJ mixers.
Made with a robust ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body, the AT180 offers superior resistance to impacts and daily wear and tear, ensuring a long lifespan even in demanding environments like stages or recording studios. Its compact and lightweight design makes it an indispensable accessory to always carry in your backpack or toolbox, ready to instantly resolve connection incompatibility issues.
Unlike generic, low-quality adapters, Proel's design ensures a firm and secure fit at both ends, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnections or unwanted noise from poor contact. It's ideal for adapting guitar, bass, or synthesizer cables (with a mono jack output) so they can be connected to RCA line inputs on AV receivers, Hi-Fi amplifiers, or mixers that lack jack inputs.
Main features
-
Precise conversion: Transforms a 6.3 mm (1/4") Mono Jack input into an RCA Male output.
-
ABS Construction: Body made of high-engineering plastic resistant to shocks, drops and deformations.
-
Ergonomic design: Molded structure that facilitates grip for comfortable connection and disconnection.
-
Efficient contacts: Ensures clean and uninterrupted signal transmission.
-
Compact format: Takes up minimal space, ideal for dense patch panels.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the Proel AT180 is its ability to break down the connectivity barriers between the world of professional audio (instruments) and home or semi-professional audio (RCA). As a mono adapter, it correctly routes the TS (Tip-Sleeve) signal to the center pin and ground of the RCA connector, preventing signal loss or short circuits common in poorly designed adapters.
Its ABS construction not only makes it durable but also provides additional electrical insulation within the adapter body, protecting it from static interference during handling. Furthermore, the reliability of Proel, a leading brand in audio cabling and accessories, ensures you're using a component that respects the integrity of your sound.
Use cases
-
DJs and Mixers: Connect samplers, drum machines or synthesizers with mono Jack output to RCA line channels on DJ mixing consoles.
-
Home Studio: Adapt instrument cables for audio interfaces or older recorders that use RCA inputs.
-
Hi-Fi Systems: Connect a musical instrument directly to a home stereo amplifier (via the RCA auxiliary input).
-
Fixed installations: Adaptation of cabling in auditoriums or conference rooms where the wall sockets are RCA but the source equipment uses Jack.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter convert a stereo signal to two RCA outputs?
No, this is a mono adapter. If you connect a stereo jack (TRS) cable, you could lose one of the channels or incorrectly combine the signals. It is designed for mono (TS) signals.
-
Can I use it backwards (RCA Female to Jack Male)?
Physically, no. The RCA connector is male (for plugging into an input) and the jack is female (for receiving a cable). It allows a cable ending in a male jack to be converted into a male RCA connector.
-
Does it affect sound quality?
Being a passive adapter without electronic circuitry, it does not alter the signal. However, it is always recommended to use good quality cables to avoid noise.
-
Is it compatible with XLR microphone cables?
Not directly. You would need a cable that goes from XLR to 6.3mm Mono Jack, and then attach this adapter to the Jack end to convert it to RCA.
Project description
Compact passive audio adapter for unbalanced signal transition. Configured with a 6.3 mm (1/4") Mono (TS) Female input jack and a Male RCA output connector. The housing is constructed entirely of high-strength molded ABS in black/dark gray. Designed for professional audio applications, fixed installations, and sound reinforcement, it allows the integration of mono signal sources into RCA line-level inputs. No active components or impedance transformation are included.
