PROEL CHL120LU1 - Professional Instrument Cable Jack to Jack Angled (1m)
The Proel CHL120LU1 is an instrument cable from the acclaimed Challenge series , designed for musicians and sound engineers seeking flawless signal transmission without compromising durability. With a strategic length of 1 meter , this cable is the perfect solution for short interconnections where audio quality and a clean setup are paramount. Manufactured to stringent quality standards, it combines Proel's precision engineering with high-performance components.
At the heart of this cable are the Yongsheng connectors, manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics. These connectors are not only robust; they feature a matte black metal housing that withstands the rigors of daily use on stage and in studios. The contacts are gold-plated , an essential feature that guarantees superior conductivity and protects against long-term corrosion, ensuring your tone remains pure and free from unwanted coloration.
The cable itself (model HPC115) is constructed with high-purity oxygen-free copper ( OFC ). This technology dramatically reduces electrical resistance and capacitance, allowing the high frequencies of your guitar, bass, or keyboard to pass through with complete clarity. Furthermore, its internal structure includes double shielding that combines conductive PVC and a copper spiral, effectively eliminating ground noise, electromagnetic interference, and the annoying hum from stage lights.
The straight jack to angled (90°) jack configuration is ideal for instruments with the input on the top (such as SG-type guitars or Jazz Basses) or for effects pedals, as the angled connector reduces mechanical stress on the input port and prevents accidental disconnections, prolonging the life of both the cable and your instrument.

Product benefits
This cable is designed for the professional musician who understands that a sound chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Using the CHL120LU1 , you gain the peace of mind of a solid and secure connection. Its 1-meter length eliminates excess cable on stage or in the studio, improving not only aesthetics and organization but also better preserving the signal due to less copper routing (reducing high-frequency loss). The durability of Yongsheng connectors ensures this cable will withstand intensive touring, rehearsals, and recording sessions without fail.
Use cases
-
Pedalboards and Racks: Ideal for connecting the output of your pedalboard to the amplifier if it is nearby, or for interconnecting effects in a rack.
-
Wireless Systems: Perfect for connecting your wireless system receiver to the amplifier input or mixing console.
-
Recording Studios: Excellent for "patching" in studios, connecting instruments to nearby injection boxes (DI) or preamps without excess cables on the floor.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Useful for connecting stereo outputs (using two units) to line mixers located in the same booth.
-
Guitars and Basses: Convenient direct connection for practicing while seated next to the amplifier or audio interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the cable balanced or unbalanced?
This is a TS (Tip-Sleeve) instrument cable, so it is unbalanced , the standard for guitars, basses, and keyboards.
-
What is the purpose of the angled connector?
The 90-degree angled connector is ideal for reducing strain on the instrument input and saving space on pedalboards or amplifier rear connections.
-
Are the connectors compatible with any guitar?
Yes, they are standard 6.35mm (1/4 inch) jack connectors, compatible with the vast majority of electric guitars, basses, pedals and amplifiers on the market.
-
Does a length of 1 meter affect the sound?
Yes, absolutely. Being a short cable, it has less overall capacitance than a long cable, which helps to better preserve the brightness and detail of the original signal.
