PROEL CHLP190LU5 - Balanced Audio Extension Cable Stereo Jack to Female Jack (5 meters)
The Proel CHLP190LU5 is a high-performance connectivity solution from Proel's acclaimed Challenge series. Designed for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts who cannot afford to compromise on signal integrity, this 5-meter extension cable offers a perfect balance between professional durability and sonic fidelity.
Unlike generic extension cables that often introduce noise or high-frequency loss, the CHLP190LU5 is constructed with high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors. This ensures transparent, crystal-clear signal transmission, essential for both critical studio monitoring via headphones and extending balanced instrument lines on stage.
The strength of this model lies in its components. Proel has integrated Yongsheng connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their mechanical robustness. The black metal casing protects the internal solder joints from pulls and impacts, while the gold-plated contacts ensure a corrosion-free connection and superior electrical conductivity over time.
Main features
-
Yongsheng Premium Connectors: Equipped with connectors manufactured under Neutrik's quality standards, offering exceptional mechanical reliability.
-
Gold-plated contacts: Both the male and female connectors feature gold-plated pins to prevent oxidation and maximize signal transfer.
-
OFC Conductors: The use of oxygen-free copper minimizes electrical resistance and distortion, preserving the original nuance of the audio.
-
Soft-Touch PVC Cover: The outer covering is tough yet extremely flexible, preventing the cable from tangling and making it easy to store.
-
Balanced/Stereo Configuration: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) design suitable for stereo headphone signals or balanced mono line-level signals.
Benefits for the user
-
Freedom of movement: Its 5-meter length allows you to move away from the mixing console, amplifier, or interface without feeling any pulling on the headphones.
-
Silent signal: Thanks to its high-density shielding, the cable effectively rejects electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference.
-
Long-term durability: The combination of metal housings and strain relief on the connectors ensures that the cable can withstand daily heavy use in live environments.
-
Total versatility: A single cable can be used to extend your favorite headphones, as well as to lengthen the connection of active monitors or instruments with a balanced output.
Use cases
- Headphone extension for drummers or musicians in recording booths.
- Connecting active studio monitors that require a greater distance from the interface.
- Extension cable for balanced line outputs on pedalboards or synthesizers.
- Wired in-ear monitoring systems (IEMs) on stage.
- Fixed installations in conference rooms or radio studios.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable be used to extend a regular guitar cable?
Physically, yes, but since it's a stereo/balanced (TRS) cable, if you use it with a standard (TS) guitar cable, it will work, but you'll be wasting the stereo capability. It's ideal for signals that are already stereo or balanced.
Will it affect the sound quality of my headphones?
Thanks to the construction with OFC copper and gold-plated connectors, signal loss is imperceptible at 5 meters, maintaining the full frequency response of your headphones.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, Yongsheng connectors feature a removable threaded housing, allowing access to the solder joints should future maintenance be required.
