PROEL CHL220LU1 - Professional Audio Cable Mono Jack to XLR Male (1 meter)
The Proel CHL220LU1 is a professional audio cable from the prestigious Challenge series, designed to deliver flawless signal transmission in demanding environments. This model stands out for its robust construction and use of high-end components, making it the ideal solution for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who require a reliable connection between equipment with unbalanced line outputs and XLR inputs.
Manufactured to the highest Italian quality standards, this 1-meter cable features YongSheng brand metal connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their durability and mechanical precision. Its optimized design ensures superior signal integrity, minimizing noise and interference thanks to the use of high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors.
High-end connectors for a pure signal
The key to the CHL220LU1's performance lies in its connectors. On one end, it features a 6.3 mm mono jack (TS) connector, and on the other, a 3-pin male XLR connector. Both connectors have a durable metal housing with a matte black finish and, most importantly, gold-plated contacts . This plating not only provides a professional look but is also crucial for preventing corrosion and ensuring optimal electrical conductivity over time, eliminating the annoying "clicks" or signal loss common in lower-quality cables.
Internal construction and shielding
The cable is constructed using 99.95% pure OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) conductors. This technology ensures that the audio signal travels with minimal resistance, preserving the natural tone and dynamics of the sound. Furthermore, it features conductive graphite insulation and a copper spiral shield that effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), guaranteeing a quiet background even in electrically noisy environments.
Main benefits
-
Extreme durability: The metal connectors and flexible yet tough PVC cover withstand heavy use on tours and in studios.
-
Lossless transmission: Thanks to the gold-plated contacts and OFC copper, the signal remains true to the original source.
-
Connection versatility: Solves interconnection problems between different types of audio equipment without the need for additional adapters that may degrade the sound.
-
Value for money: It belongs to Proel's acclaimed Challenge series, known for offering professional performance at an affordable cost.
Recommended use cases
This cable is an essential tool for various audio setups:
-
Connecting instruments to mixers: Ideal for connecting keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines with Jack (Mono) output directly to the XLR inputs of a mixing console or stage box.
-
Monitors and active speakers: Perfect for sending a signal from an auxiliary or monitor output (Jack) to self-powered speakers that have an XLR input.
-
Effects processors: Interconnection of rack equipment or effects pedals with unbalanced outputs to audio interfaces or preamplifiers.
-
Recording studios and home studios: For quick and secure patching between equipment with different connection standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to a speaker?
It depends on the connection. Most microphones have a male XLR output, so they would need a cable with a female XLR connector. This cable has a male XLR connector, typically designed to plug into the input of a device (such as a speaker or mixer), coming from a jack source.
-
Is it a balanced cable?
No. Because it has a mono jack (TS) connector on one end, the signal transmission is unbalanced. This is ideal for short distances like this one (1 meter) where signal loss isn't a critical issue.
-
Are YongSheng connectors compatible with Neutrik?
Yes, YongSheng is a brand manufactured by the same business group as Neutrik, guaranteeing very similar quality standards and mechanical compatibility.
