PROEL BULK140LU2 - Balanced Audio Cable Stereo Jack to Stereo Jack (2 Meters)
The Proel BULK140LU2 is a professional-grade, pre-assembled audio cable designed to ensure maximum signal integrity in demanding environments, from recording studios to live stages. Part of Proel's acclaimed Bulk series, this 2-meter cable stands out for its robust construction and ability to transmit balanced audio signals without interference or unwanted noise. It's the ideal solution for interconnecting audio equipment that requires reliability, durability, and a transparent frequency response.
At the heart of this cable is the HPC225 conductor, a high-quality microphone cable made from Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) . This material ensures superior transmission purity, minimizing signal loss and offering low capacitance, resulting in crisp, clear sound. External protection is provided by a flexible yet durable PVC jacket, which facilitates handling and coiling without sacrificing mechanical protection against accidental steps or twisting.
The connectors are a strong point of this model. It features two 6.3 mm Proel stereo (TRS) jacks , housed in a heavy-duty, nickel-plated metal casing. These connectors are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, providing a firm and secure connection. The design includes a strain relief system that protects the internal solder points, ensuring a long lifespan even with frequent plugging and unplugging.
Main features
-
Balanced Transmission: Designed to eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency (RFI/EMI) noise, ensuring a quiet background essential for professional recordings.
-
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) Conductors: The use of oxygen-free copper maximizes conductivity and prevents internal oxidation, preserving audio quality over time.
-
Robust Metal Connectors: Equipped with 6.3mm TRS Jack connectors with nickel-plated metal housing, offering much greater durability than standard plastic connectors.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: The PVC cover (HPC225) offers a soft touch and excellent flexibility, avoiding the "memory effect" and allowing for tidy cable management.
-
Effective Shielding: It features a copper spiral shield that provides over 90% coverage, blocking external interference.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the PROEL BULK140LU2 is peace of mind. By using a balanced connection with premium materials, you eliminate the hum and noise that often plague audio setups with lower-quality cables. Its 2-meter length is perfect for short-distance patching without creating the clutter of excessively long cables, keeping your workspace clean and efficient. Furthermore, the durability of its metal connectors ensures you won't have to replace the cable anytime soon, making it an excellent value.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Connection from the audio interface or mixing console to the balanced active monitors.
-
Signal Processors: Interconnection of compressors, equalizers and external effects in a studio rack.
-
Stereo Instruments: Connecting synthesizers, keyboards or digital pianos with stereo output to mixing consoles or interfaces.
-
PA systems: Sending a balanced signal between live mixing consoles and power amplifiers or amplified speakers.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable mono or stereo?
This cable uses TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) connectors, so it can function as a stereo cable (for left/right signals in a single unbalanced cable) or, which is its main professional use, as a balanced mono cable.
-
Does it work to connect an electric guitar to an amplifier?
It will physically fit, but it's not the ideal cable. Guitars use unbalanced TS (mono) instrument cables. Using this TRS cable might not work correctly depending on your amplifier's input. We recommend a dedicated instrument cable (BULK100 series).
-
What does it mean for it to be OFC?
It stands for "Oxygen Free Copper." It's a refining process that removes impurities, improving electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance compared to standard copper wire.
