PROEL CHL120LU3 - Professional Instrument Cable Straight to Angled Jack (3 Meters)
The Proel CHL120LU3 belongs to Proel's acclaimed Challenge series, a line designed to offer reliability and signal transmission quality in demanding environments. This 3-meter instrument cable stands out for its robust construction and engineering focused on sound fidelity. It's the ideal solution for musicians looking to connect their electric guitar, bass, or keyboard to amplifiers and pedalboards without sacrificing nuance in their performance.
Unlike generic cables, the CHL120LU3 features Yongsheng connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned in the industry for their mechanical durability and precise fit. The combination of a straight connector and a 90-degree angled connector makes it a versatile tool, protecting both your instrument's output port and the cable itself from accidental pulls and mechanical stress.
Inside, the cable uses high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors. This feature is crucial for minimizing capacitance and preventing high-frequency degradation, ensuring your instrument's tone reaches the amplifier with complete clarity and definition. Furthermore, its gold-plated contacts guarantee superior corrosion resistance and optimal electrical conductivity over time.
Main features
-
Yongsheng Premium Connectors: Equipped with 6.3mm jacks manufactured by Neutrik's subsidiary, ensuring a professional quality standard and a long connection lifespan.
-
Straight/Angled Design: Includes a straight Mono Jack on one end and a right-angle (90°) Mono Jack on the other, optimizing ergonomics and reducing strain on the instrument input.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: The connectors have a gold plating that maximizes signal transfer and prevents oxidation, a common problem in lower category cables.
-
OFC Conductor: The use of oxygen-free copper ensures clean signal transmission, free of parasitic noise and with a frequency response faithful to the original source.
-
Rugged Metal Housing: The connectors are protected by a matte black metal housing, designed to withstand the abuse of live use and frequent transport.
-
Flexible Cover: Its soft PVC coating allows the cable to coil and uncoil easily, preventing "memory" of shape and tangles on stage.
Benefits for the musician
The main benefit of the Proel CHL120LU3 is the peace of mind it offers on stage. Thanks to its angled connector, it's perfect for guitars with top-mounted inputs (like SG-style models, semi-hollows, or Precision basses), as the cable sits flush against the instrument's body, preventing it from protruding dangerously. This drastically reduces the risk of hitting the connector and damaging your guitar's electronics.
Furthermore, the quality of the shielding and OFC copper provides a very low "noise floor", meaning you'll hear more of your instrument and less hum or static interference, even when using gain or distortion pedals.
Recommended use cases
-
Electric Guitars and Basses: Especially useful for instruments with a front jack, where the angled connector offers a low profile and greater safety.
-
Pedalboard Connection: Ideal for going from the guitar to the first input of your pedalboard, maintaining order and signal quality.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Perfect for connecting L/R outputs to mixing consoles or amplifiers when rear space is limited, thanks to the angled plug.
-
Home Recording Studios: Its 3-meter length is ideal for recording close to the audio interface without having meters of excess cable degrading the signal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
It is an unbalanced instrument cable (TS to TS), which is the standard for connecting guitars, basses, and keyboards to amplifiers.
What is the purpose of the angled connector?
The 90-degree angled connector is ideal for reducing mechanical stress on the instrument jack and preventing the cable from sticking out too much, which is very useful in small settings or with certain guitar models.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, being professional-grade threaded metal housing connectors, they can be unscrewed to access the welds if future maintenance is required.
