PROEL CHLP320LU15 - Stereo Mini Jack to 2 x XLR Male Y-Cable (1.5 Meters)
The Proel CHLP320LU15 is a professional audio cable assembled in a Y-configuration, belonging to Proel's acclaimed Challenge series . Designed to offer a reliable, high-fidelity solution, this cable is the perfect bridge between consumer devices and professional audio equipment. Its main function is to split a stereo signal from a 3.5 mm output (such as that of a computer, tablet, or smartphone) into two separate mono channels with XLR connectors, allowing direct connection to mixing consoles, active studio monitors, or recording interfaces.
The Challenge series has established itself in the market by offering exceptional value, utilizing high-performance components that guarantee clean, interference-free signal transmission. The cable features a robust construction designed to withstand continuous use in stages, recording studios, and high-end home setups. Its flexible PVC jacket not only facilitates cable management and routing behind equipment but also provides durable protection against kinks and cuts.
One of the most outstanding features of the CHLP320LU15 is the quality of its connections. It incorporates Yongsheng connectors, manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics, ensuring a superior manufacturing standard. The contacts are gold-plated to prevent long-term oxidation and maximize electrical conductivity, ensuring that the integrity of your audio remains intact from source to destination.
Main features
-
High-quality Yongsheng connectors: Equipped with connectors manufactured by Neutrik's prestigious subsidiary, guaranteeing a secure fit and superior mechanical durability.
-
Gold-plated contacts: Both the Mini Jack connector and the two male XLR connectors feature gold plating for optimal signal transfer and corrosion resistance.
-
Robust construction: Black metal housings protect internal soldering points and offer a professional and discreet aesthetic finish.
-
Shielded cable: Low-noise design that minimizes external electromagnetic interference, ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices.
-
Superior flexibility: The soft PVC outer cover allows the cable to be easily wound and unwound without retaining "memory" of shape.
Product benefits
-
Easy integration: Allows you to connect modern devices (laptops, MP3 players, mobile phones) to professional PA systems without the need for unstable adapters.
-
Professional reliability: By eliminating intermediate adapters and using a factory molded and soldered cable, the risk of live failures or noise from bad connections is drastically reduced.
-
Long-term durability: Thanks to the materials in the Challenge series, this cable withstands the daily wear and tear of frequent assembly and disassembly.
-
Discreet aesthetics: Its all-black finish (connectors and cable) makes it ideal for stages and DJ booths where the cabling is meant to go unnoticed.
Use cases
-
DJs and Events: Connecting laptops or controllers with minijack output to main mixing consoles with XLR inputs.
-
Recording Studios and Home Studio: Send audio from an external sound card or mobile device to two active studio monitors.
-
Presentations and Conferences: Connecting the audio from a projector or laptop to a room sound system.
-
Live musicians: Use of tablets or samplers with headphone output to send sequences or backing tracks to the mixing console.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable convert the signal to balanced?
No, this cable adapts an unbalanced stereo signal (from the mini-jack) to two XLR inputs. Although the XLR connector is typically balanced, in this configuration it efficiently transmits the signal over short distances (1.5 m) without noise issues.
-
Can I use it in reverse (from two microphones to one mini jack input)?
Technically the cable is bidirectional, but it is not recommended to connect dynamic microphones directly to a computer line input without a preamplifier, as the signal level would be very low.
-
Are XLR connectors male or female?
They are XLR Male connectors (with pins facing outwards), designed to connect to the (Female) inputs of mixing consoles or speakers.
-
Is it compatible with phantom power?
Phantom power (48V) should not be used with this cable connected to devices such as mobile phones or computers, as it could damage the audio output of these devices.
