PROEL CHL140LU5 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable 6.3mm Stereo Jack to 6.3mm Stereo Jack (5 Meters)
The Proel CHL140LU5 is much more than just a simple connection cable; it's a fundamental tool in Proel's prestigious Challenge series, designed specifically for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who cannot afford any signal transmission errors. This professional-grade, 5-meter cable offers a robust, high-fidelity solution for interconnecting audio equipment that requires balanced or stereo connections via 6.3 mm (1/4") TRS jack connectors.
At the heart of this cable lies Proel's Italian engineering, which has selected premium materials to guarantee crystal-clear audio transmission. The conductor is made of Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) , ensuring low capacitance and superior signal integrity, preserving the natural tone of your instruments or the fidelity of your mixes. Unlike generic cables, the CHL140LU5 is built to withstand the rigors of daily use on stage and in studios, thanks to a flexible yet extremely durable PVC jacket that prevents tangling and protects the internal conductors.
What truly sets this model apart is the quality of its components. It incorporates Yongshen metal connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their durability and mechanical precision. These connectors feature a sleek matte black metal housing and, most importantly, gold-plated contacts . This plating is not merely aesthetic; it is functional, guaranteeing optimal corrosion resistance and perfect electrical conductivity for years to come, eliminating unwanted noise caused by poor connections.
Main features
-
Balanced/Stereo Connection: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) configuration that allows the transmission of both balanced mono signals (for noise cancellation) and unbalanced stereo signals, depending on the equipment.
-
Premium Connectors: Equipped with original Yongshen connectors with a robust metal housing that protects the internal solder joints against pulling and impacts.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: The pins of the jacks are gold-plated to ensure lossless signal transfer and prevent long-term oxidation.
-
Low Noise OFC Cable: The use of oxygen-free copper drastically reduces background noise and electromagnetic interference.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: Its outer coating is designed to be constantly handled, offering a soft touch and great ease of rolling.
Benefits for the user
By choosing the Proel CHL140LU5 , you get the peace of mind of a clean signal. If you use this cable in a balanced setup (for example, between an audio interface and studio monitors), you'll benefit from noise cancellation , eliminating hum and radio frequency interference that often plague long cables. Furthermore, the durability of the metal connectors means you won't have to constantly replace the cable, making it a smart investment for your professional audio setup.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting the output of audio interfaces or mixing consoles to active monitors that support balanced TRS jack input.
-
Effects Processors: Connection of outboard equipment such as compressors, equalizers or effects units that work with balanced line level.
-
Stereo Instruments: Perfect for keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines that have a headphone output or stereo output on a single jack to carry the signal to a mixing console.
-
Patchbays: High-quality interconnection in recording studios for signal routing.
-
Headphone Extension: Can function as an interconnect cable for headphone amplifiers that use 6.3mm jack inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for connecting an electric guitar to an amplifier?
It will physically fit, but electric guitars typically use unbalanced mono (TS) cables. Using this cable (TRS) with a guitar might not work correctly depending on the guitar's jack (sometimes the active battery doesn't make contact). For guitar, we recommend the mono model from the Challenge series.
Is it a stereo or balanced cable?
It's a cable with TRS connectors, which means it can physically perform both functions. If you connect balanced (mono) equipment, it will act as a noise-canceling cable. If you connect a stereo output (like a headphone output) to a stereo input, it will transmit both channels (left and right).
What brand are the connectors?
The connectors are from the Yongshen brand, a subsidiary of Neutrik, known for offering professional quality standards at an affordable price.
