PROEL CHL230LU3 - Balanced Audio Cable TRS Jack to XLR Male (3 Meters)
The Proel CHL230LU3 is a high-performance connectivity solution from Proel's renowned Challenge Line series. Designed for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts seeking reliability without compromising on budget, this 3-meter balanced cable delivers flawless signal transmission between equipment with stereo jack (TRS) outputs and XLR inputs.
At the heart of its construction is a high-purity oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) conductor cable, essential for maintaining signal integrity and preventing long-term oxidation. The Challenge series is distinguished by its use of YongSheng brand metal connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), an industry standard that guarantees mechanical robustness and a secure connection. Furthermore, the gold-plated contacts ensure superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, eliminating the parasitic noise common in lower-quality connections.
Its flexible PVC jacket not only makes handling and coiling the cable easier in live or studio situations, but also offers durable protection against accidental steps and bending. Whether connecting your audio interface to studio monitors or sending signals from a mixing console to a power amplifier, the CHL230LU3 provides a clean, balanced signal path free from electromagnetic interference.
Main features
-
High-quality connectors: Equipped with YongSheng connectors (a Neutrik sub-brand) with a black metal housing and gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transfer.
-
OFC Construction: Oxygen-free copper conductors that ensure low capacitance and transparent audio transmission.
-
Balanced Signal: Configuration designed to cancel noise and external interference (RFI/EMI), ideal for medium and long cable runs.
-
Durability and Flexibility: Soft and durable PVC outer cover that withstands heavy use without losing flexibility, preventing the memory effect.
-
Precision welding: Assembled using professional techniques to ensure that internal joints withstand pulling and daily use.
Product benefits
-
Pure Sound: Thanks to effective shielding and OFC copper, you'll enjoy audio without hum or ground noise, essential for professional recordings.
-
Professional Reliability: Metal connectors protect vital terminations, ensuring the cable won't fail in the middle of a critical performance or session.
-
Connection Versatility: Solves the common need to interconnect modern equipment (such as USB audio interfaces) with PA equipment or professional monitors.
-
Sober Aesthetics: The all-black finish ("All Black") offers a discreet and elegant appearance on stage or in the studio.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Standard connection from the "Main Out" (TRS Jack) of an audio interface to the XLR input of active monitors.
-
Live sound reinforcement: Sending an auxiliary signal from a mixing console to self-powered speakers or power amplifiers.
-
Effects processors: Connection of external rack-mounted equipment, such as compressors or equalizers, that require hybrid balanced cables.
-
Instruments via DI: Connection from balanced outputs of certain synthesizers or guitar processors to injection boxes or microphone inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to a mixing console?
Although the cable is microphone-grade, most microphones use XLR connectors on both ends. This cable (Jack to XLR Male) is typically used for balanced line outputs to speaker inputs or processors, not for connecting a standard microphone to a mixing console.
-
Is it a stereo cable?
The jack connector is "stereo" (TRS), but in professional audio, this type of cable is used to carry a balanced mono signal. If you use it on a stereo headphone output, the signal could be canceled or sound strange when it enters a mono XLR system.
-
Are YongSheng connectors compatible with Neutrik?
Yes, YongSheng is a brand manufactured by the Neutrik group in its plants in China, offering full compatibility and a build quality far superior to generic connectors.
Project description
Professional 3-meter assembled balanced audio cable. Low-capacitance oxygen-free copper (OFC) inner conductor with high-coverage spiral shielding for interference rejection. Terminated on one end with a male 6.3mm stereo (TRS) jack connector and on the other with a male 3-pin XLR connector. Both connectors are YongSheng brand (Neutrik group), with die-cast metal housing in a black finish and gold-plated contacts for maximum conductivity. High-strength, flexible black PVC outer jacket.
