PROEL CHL140LU3 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable 6.3mm Stereo Jack to 6.3mm Stereo Jack (3m)
The Proel CHL140LU3 represents the standard of excellence within Proel's renowned Challenge Series , a line designed for musicians and sound engineers who demand absolute reliability without compromising their budget. This 3-meter balanced professional instrument cable has been meticulously assembled to deliver pure, robust, and interference-free signal transmission in any environment, from home recording studios to live stages.
At the heart of this cable is Proel's HPC225 wiring technology, manufactured with oxygen-free copper (OFC). This choice of material is critical to prevent long-term oxidation and ensure superior electrical conductivity. Thanks to its balanced (TRS) construction, the CHL140LU3 is able to cancel electromagnetic noise and radio frequency interference (RFI) that typically affect cable runs, ensuring your sound reaches its destination with maximum fidelity and transparency.
What truly sets this model apart are its components. It features genuine Yongsheng connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their mechanical durability. These 6.3 mm stereo jack connectors boast a shock-resistant black metal housing and gold-plated contacts, providing not only a professional aesthetic but also preventing corrosion and ensuring a reliable electrical connection for years of heavy use.
Main features
-
High-End Connectors: Equipped with Yongsheng brand Ø 6.3 mm Stereo Jack connectors with black metal housing and gold-plated contacts for immaculate signal transfer.
-
Balanced Construction: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) design that allows the transmission of balanced or stereo audio signals, drastically reducing background noise and hum.
-
Pure OFC Copper: The conductor and shielding mesh are made of high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC), ensuring low capacitance and a flat frequency response.
-
Extreme Durability: Covered with a flexible yet tough 6-7mm diameter PVC sleeve, designed to withstand being stepped on, bent, and the daily hustle and bustle of assembly and disassembly.
-
Precision Welding: Professionally assembled to ensure there are no cold spots or mechanical weaknesses in the joints.
Benefits for the user
Choosing the Proel CHL140LU3 means investing in peace of mind. For the musician, it eliminates annoying noises and hums that can ruin a perfect take or live performance. For the sound engineer, it offers a reliable tool for interconnecting rack equipment, studio monitors, or instruments with balanced outputs.
Its flexibility is another big plus; unlike cheap, rigid cables that retain the "memory" of being coiled, the Challenge series' soft PVC cover allows the cable to lie flat on the stage, reducing the risk of tripping and making it easier to pack up at the end of the event.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting the audio interface to your balanced active monitors, ensuring a clean listening experience.
-
Instruments with Stereo Output: Perfect for keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines that require a stereo connection to a mixing console.
-
Effects Processors: Reliable connection for expression pedals or effects send/return in amplifiers that use balanced loops.
-
Rack Interconnection: Use in patchbays or to connect external preamps, compressors and equalizers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for a regular electric guitar?
Although the connector physically fits into a guitar, this is a stereo/balanced (TRS) cable, and guitars typically use mono (TS) cables. If you use it with a standard guitar, it will work, but you won't be taking advantage of its balanced output. It's best suited for equipment that specifies balanced or stereo outputs.
What's the difference between this cable and a cheap one?
The difference lies in the shielding and connectors. Inexpensive cables often have molded plastic connectors that break easily and poor shielding that lets interference through. The CHL140LU3 uses Yongsheng repairable metal connectors and OFC copper for a much longer lifespan and cleaner sound.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, unlike cables with plastic-injected connectors, the Yongsheng connectors on this cable can be unscrewed, allowing access to the solder joints for future repairs if needed.
