PROEL CHLP325LU15 - Y-Cable 6.3mm Stereo Jack to 2 x XLR Male - Challenge Series (1.5 Meters)
The PROEL CHLP325LU15 is a professional Y-splitter audio cable designed to solve complex connectivity problems with maximum signal fidelity. Part of Proel's renowned Challenge series , this 1.5-meter cable strikes the perfect balance between industrial durability and sonic purity. Its primary function is to split a stereo signal from a 6.3 mm TRS jack into two independent mono signals terminated with 3-pin male XLR connectors, or to act as an insert cable in specific studio setups.
The construction of this cable prioritizes signal integrity. It utilizes high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring smooth electrical transmission and minimizing the loss of high frequencies, a common problem in lower-grade cables. The connectors are manufactured by YongSheng (a brand of Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), renowned worldwide for their mechanical robustness. Furthermore, all contacts are gold-plated , a premium feature that prevents corrosion and ensures a noise-free electrical connection, free from interference or "crashes," even during years of heavy use.
Its soft yet durable PVC outer jacket offers exceptional flexibility, allowing the cable to adapt to crowded racks or stage setups without creating rigid loops or shape memory. The matte black metal housing design not only provides a professional and understated aesthetic but also protects the internal solder joints from impacts, pulls, and the daily wear and tear of touring or recording studio environments.
Main features
-
High-end connectors: Equipped with YongSheng connectors (manufactured under Neutrik standards) with solid metal housings for maximum protection.
-
Pure signal transfer: Gold-plated contacts eliminate oxidation and improve electrical conductivity.
-
OFC Conductor: Oxygen-free copper reduces electrical resistance and minimizes harmonic distortion for crystal-clear sound.
-
Flexibility and resistance: "Soft-touch" PVC cover that withstands twisting and accidental steps without compromising the cable core.
-
Versatile configuration: Designed to split stereo signals (TRS Jack) to balanced or unbalanced XLR (L/R) inputs.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel CHLP325LU15 cable brings peace of mind to both sound engineers and musicians. Its main advantage lies in its mechanical reliability ; the metal connectors won't break or deform with constant use, unlike molded plastic connectors. The high-quality shielding ensures a quiet working environment, free from hum and radio frequency interference—critical when connecting electronic instruments directly to powerful amplification systems.
Use cases
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Ideal for connecting the headphone output or stereo line output (Jack) of a keyboard directly to two channels of a mixing console (XLR inputs).
-
Audio and DJ Interfaces: Perfect for connecting DJ controllers or compact audio interfaces with Jack output to active studio monitors or PA systems with XLR input.
-
Recording Studios: Useful for signal sending configurations from patchbays or auxiliary outputs to external effects processors.
-
Live Sound: Quick solution for connecting laptops or tablets (via pre-adapters) to DI boxes or stage consoles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable convert one balanced signal into two balanced signals?
It depends on the source. Generally, this cable is used to split an unbalanced stereo signal (Tip=Left, Ring=Right) into two mono signals that physically enter XLR connectors. Although the XLR connector is balanced, the resulting signal will be unbalanced if the source is balanced, but it's perfectly compatible with mic/line inputs.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, unlike cables with injection/molded connectors, YongSheng connectors feature threaded housings that allow access to the solder joints for future repairs if needed.
What is the purpose of the "Y" configuration?
It's used to separate the channels. The stereo jack connector carries two signals (left and right). The cable physically separates these signals so you can connect them to two separate speakers or to two different channels on a mixing console for independent control of volume and equalization.
