PROEL CHLP190LU3 - Professional Audio Extension Cable, Stereo Jack, 3m - Challenge Series
The PROEL CHLP190LU3 is a professional audio extension cable designed to deliver maximum signal integrity in studio and live applications. Part of Proel's acclaimed Challenge series , this cable stands out for its robust construction and excellent value, making it an industry-standard solution for extending connections without sacrificing sound quality. Its balanced (TRS) design makes it extremely versatile, suitable for both stereo and mono balanced line signals, ensuring clean, interference-free transmission.
The key to its performance lies in the quality of its components. It features Yongsheng metal connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their durability and mechanical precision. The contacts are gold-plated , which not only prevents long-term corrosion but also ensures superior electrical conductivity. The 3-meter cable is made of high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC), encased in a flexible and durable PVC jacket that withstands intensive use on stages and in studios without losing its flexibility.
Main features
-
High-end Yongsheng connectors: Equipped with a 6.3mm stereo male jack and a 6.3mm stereo female jack, both with impact-resistant black metal housing.
-
Pure transmission: OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) conductors that minimize signal loss and guarantee a flat and faithful frequency response.
-
Gold-plated contacts: The gold-plated pins ensure a stable connection free of parasitic noise, eliminating oxidation problems.
-
Effective shielding: Internal structure designed to reject electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), crucial for noisy environments.
-
Flexibility and resistance: The "Soft-touch" PVC outer cover allows the cable to be wound easily without acquiring "memory" or distorted shapes, while protecting the internal conductors from being stepped on and pulled.
Benefits for the user
Choosing the PROEL CHLP190LU3 means investing in peace of mind. For musicians and sound engineers, this cable eliminates the weakest link in the audio chain: poor-quality extension cables that introduce hum or dropouts. Its ability to handle balanced signals allows you to extend monitor or instrument lines over longer distances without the tone degradation typical of unbalanced cables. Furthermore, the quality of the Yongsheng connectors ensures a firm and secure click upon connection, preventing accidental disconnections mid-performance.
Use cases
-
Studio Headphone Extension: Ideal for giving musicians and singers mobility within the recording booth without losing monitoring quality.
-
Rack Equipment Connections: Perfect for extending balanced outputs from audio interfaces or mixers to external processors or active speakers that require TRS connectors.
-
Stereo Instruments: Useful for keyboardists and synthesizers who need to extend their stereo outputs to DI boxes or mixing consoles.
-
Stages and Live: Robust solution for extending in-ear signal sends or complex pedalboard connections that use stereo cabling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for a regular electric guitar?
Yes, it will work, but it's a stereo/balanced (TRS) cable. Guitars are usually mono (TS). While the audio will pass through, you'll be using a more advanced cable than necessary. It's ideally suited for stereo or balanced signals.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, Yongsheng connectors are detachable and soldered, allowing for easy repairs in case of accident or cable breakage due to excessive pulling, extending the product's lifespan.
Does adding an extra 3 meters affect the sound?
Thanks to its OFC construction and low capacitance, signal degradation at 3 meters is imperceptible to the human ear, maintaining the original brightness and dynamics of the source.
