PROEL BULK540LU18 - Stereo Mini Jack to 2 x RCA Y-Adapter Insert Cable (1.8 Meters)
The Proel BULK540LU18 is the ultimate solution for modern audio connectivity, designed to bridge the gap between portable devices and professional or Hi-Fi sound equipment. Part of Proel's acclaimed BULK series, this Y-adapter cable stands out for its clean and reliable signal transmission in a robust construction built for heavy daily use.
This 1.8-meter cable is an essential tool in any technician's bag, DJ booth, or home studio. Its configuration allows you to split a stereo signal from an auxiliary output (such as that of a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or MP3 player) into two mono RCA signals (Left/Right), facilitating direct connection to mixing consoles, powered speakers, power amplifiers, or home theater systems.
Unlike generic cables, the BULK540LU18 features injection-molded connectors . This manufacturing technique integrates the connector body with the cable jacket, creating exceptionally durable strain relief. This prevents internal breakage at critical stress points, ensuring a long lifespan even in stage environments or constantly mobile setups.
Main features
-
Universal Connectivity: Transforms a standard 3.5 mm (TRS) stereo output into two male RCA connectors, compatible with the vast majority of analog audio equipment.
-
PROEL Molded Construction: The connectors are encapsulated in a high-strength molding that protects the internal welds and absorbs mechanical stress when connecting or disconnecting.
-
Versatile Length: At 1.8 meters long, it offers the perfect balance between reach and cable management, preventing excessive tangling without falling short in desktop or rack configurations.
-
High Quality Conductors: Manufactured with materials that ensure low capacitance and faithful transmission of the audio frequency spectrum.
-
Flexible Cover: The black PVC outer covering is soft to the touch and highly flexible, making it easy to roll up and store in tight spaces.
Benefits for the user
-
Professional Reliability: By using molded connector technology, the risk of intermittent failures or noise from false contacts, common in inexpensive cables soldered manually without protection, is drastically reduced.
-
Audio Clarity: Designed to minimize interference, ensuring that your music or audio tracks reach the sound system with the original quality.
-
Quick Identification: RCA connectors are usually color-coded (white/red or molded black/red) to instantly identify the left and right (L/R) channels, speeding up assembly.
-
Value for Money: It offers the performance of a leading brand in the professional audio sector at a cost accessible to any budget.
Recommended use cases
-
DJs and Musicians: Connecting laptops or tablets to DJ mixers or live consoles to play backing tracks or background music.
-
Home Studio: Routing audio from the headphone output of a synthesizer or drum machine to an audio interface or monitors with RCA input.
-
Home Hi-Fi Systems: Integration of modern mobile devices into classic stereo amplifiers or AV receivers.
-
Educational and Corporate Environments: Audio connection from projectors or presentation laptops to room public address systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable transmit a stereo signal?
Yes, the 3.5mm Mini Jack connector is stereo (TRS) and the signal is properly separated into two mono channels (left RCA and right RCA) to maintain the full stereo image.
-
Is it bidirectional?
Generally, yes. Although its most common use is from Mini Jack to RCA, with analog line-level signals it can work in reverse (taking audio from an RCA source to enter a 3.5 mm auxiliary input), depending on the impedance of the connected equipment.
-
Are the connectors repairable?
No, because they are molded connectors, they are factory sealed for greater durability and moisture resistance. If they are damaged by an extreme cut, the cable would need to be replaced, ensuring that you always use a cable in perfect condition.
-
Can it be used to connect a mobile phone to a mixing console?
That's exactly its main use. You can connect your phone's headphone output to the "2-Track" or stereo line inputs of any mixing console.
