PROEL CHL250LU5 - Professional Balanced Microphone Cable XLR Female to XLR Male (5m)
The Proel CHL250LU5 represents the perfect blend of durability, acoustic performance, and competitive pricing, belonging to Proel's acclaimed Challenge series . This balanced microphone cable has been meticulously designed to meet the demands of musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who require flawless signal transmission in any environment. With a versatile 5-meter length, this cable offers the necessary freedom of movement on medium-sized stages and in recording studios without compromising signal integrity.
What truly sets this model apart is its robust construction. Equipped with genuine YongSheng connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), the CHL250LU5 guarantees a secure mechanical connection and superior electrical transfer. The connectors feature a matte black metal housing for a discreet and professional look, while the gold-plated pins ensure exceptional corrosion resistance and optimal conductivity over time. The cable, made of oxygen-free copper (OFC), provides a flat and transparent response, eliminating unwanted interference and noise.
Main features
-
High-end connectors: Incorporates YongSheng connectors (Neutrik YS technology) with a robust metal housing in black.
-
Gold-plated contacts: The XLR pins are gold-plated to maximize conductivity and prevent oxidation, ensuring years of trouble-free use.
-
Pure OFC conductor: The Oxygen Free Copper core ensures pure signal transmission, ideal for preserving the natural tone of voices and instruments.
-
Effective shielding: Low noise design thanks to its high-density spiral shielding that protects against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference.
-
Flexible coating: Its soft PVC outer cover allows the cable to be wound and unwound easily, avoiding the "memory effect" and the usual tangles on stage.
Benefits for the user
Choosing the Proel CHL250LU5 provides immediate peace of mind. For live musicians, it means no pops or sudden dropouts thanks to the robust metal connectors. For studio engineers, the use of OFC copper and gold-plated contacts results in clean recordings with virtually no noise floor, allowing preamps to work with the purest possible signal. Furthermore, its all-black design makes it visually discreet on stages, in television studios, or in permanent installations where cabling needs to be unobtrusive.
Ideal use cases
-
Live scenarios: Connecting dynamic or condenser vocal microphones to mixing consoles or stage boxes.
-
Recording studios (Home and Pro): Signal routing from the recording booth to the audio interface with maximum fidelity.
-
Rehearsal rooms: Its resistance to stomping and heavy use makes it perfect for the daily battle in practice rooms.
-
Active equipment connection: Ideal for interconnecting studio monitors or self-powered PA speakers that require a balanced XLR input.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for microphones that require phantom power (48V)?
Yes, being a professional balanced cable with three conductors (ground, positive and negative), it perfectly transmits the 48V Phantom power required for condenser microphones.
-
Are YongSheng connectors compatible with other brands?
Absolutely. YongSheng connectors comply with the XLR industry standard, so they fit perfectly into any audio equipment (microphones, mixers, interfaces) of any brand (Neutrik, Switchcraft, Amphenol, etc.).
-
What is the difference between this cable and a generic one?
The main difference lies in the quality of the copper (OFC vs. standard) and, above all, in the connectors. YongSheng connectors with gold-plated pins offer significantly superior durability and contact quality compared to generic plastic or low-alloy metal connectors.
