PROEL BULK505LU18 - Insert Cable and Y-Adapter (Mini Stereo Jack to 2 x Mono Jack, 1.8m)
The Proel BULK505LU18 is a Y-adapter cable from the renowned Bulk series, designed to provide a reliable and durable solution for interconnecting audio equipment. This professionally assembled cable is the essential tool for bridging the gap between consumer devices with stereo outputs (such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, or portable recorders) and professional audio equipment (mixing consoles, audio interfaces, powered speakers, or amplifiers) that require separate inputs for the left and right channels.
Measuring 1.8 meters in length, the BULK505LU18 provides the ideal distance for desktop setups, DJ booths, or small stages, eliminating the excess cabling that often creates noise and clutter. Its construction features high-quality molded connectors that ensure a secure fit and protect the internal solder joints from strain and daily wear and tear. By splitting a stereo (TRS) signal into two mono (TS) signals, this cable ensures that the stereo image remains perfectly intact when entering your sound system, correctly assigning the left and right channels to their respective inputs.
Main features
-
Precise connectivity: It features a 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo Mini Jack connector on one end and splits into two 6.3 mm (1/4") mono Jack connectors on the other, allowing the stereo signal to be split to dual mono.
-
Bulk Series: The connectors are molded directly onto the cable, providing superior strain relief and increased mechanical strength against common bending and twisting.
-
Clean signal: Made with high-quality copper conductors that minimize transmission loss, ensuring that the audio arrives clearly and without unwanted coloration.
-
Flexibility and durability: Its flexible PVC outer coating facilitates cable winding and management, while remaining resistant to abrasion and wear from continuous use.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel BULK505LU18 means choosing peace of mind when it comes to your connections. For musicians and sound engineers, it eliminates the need for loose adapters that are often lost or fail at the worst possible moment. Its molded design ensures that even if the cable is accidentally stepped on or stretched, the internal connections remain intact. Furthermore, as a product in the Bulk series, it offers exceptional value, providing professional performance accessible to any budget.
Use cases
-
Connecting mobile devices to a mixing console: Ideal for connecting the headphone output of a mobile phone, tablet or MP3 player to two input channels (L/R) of a live or studio mixing console.
-
Audio interface and computers: Perfect for sending audio from a laptop's line output to studio monitors or PA systems.
-
DJ setups: Useful for integrating samplers or small synthesizers with mini-jack output into DJ mixers with standard jack inputs.
-
Effects insertion (Technical use): On certain specific equipment that uses mini-jack connections for effects loops, it can function as an insert cable (Send/Return).
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this cable connect my mobile phone to two active speakers?
Yes, if your active speakers have 6.3 mm (1/4") jack inputs, this cable will send the left channel to one speaker and the right channel to the other, providing true stereo sound.
-
Is the cable balanced?
No. This is a splitter cable that takes an unbalanced stereo signal and separates it into two unbalanced mono (TS) signals. It's the standard for this type of short-line connection.
-
Can the L and R connectors be distinguished?
Yes, mono jack connectors usually have distinctive markings or colors (such as red and white/black) or are labeled on the connector body to identify the left (Tip) and right (Ring) channels.
-
Does the length of 1.8 meters include the connectors?
The measurement usually refers to the total length of the cable from end to end, offering a comfortable standard reach for most close connections.
