Cordial ECLEY 5 VPP - 5 meter Y-insertion Cable
The Cordial ECLEY 5 VPP is a professional Y-type audio cable, specifically designed to function as an insert cable. At 5 meters long, it offers the flexibility needed to connect equipment in recording studios, on stages, or in DJ setups. This cable is the ideal solution for splitting a stereo signal into two mono signals or for connecting external effects processors to a mixing console via its insert points.
Manufactured with high-quality components, the ECLEY 5 VPP uses the robust Cordial Essentials Cable 1 (CEC 1), which ensures clean, interference-free signal transmission thanks to its copper spiral shielding. The connectors are a key feature of its construction, equipped with REAN by Neutrik plugs, a brand recognized worldwide for its durability and reliability. The configuration includes a 6.35 mm stereo (TRS) jack on one end and two 6.35 mm mono (TS) jacks on the other, with the tips marked in red and black for easy identification of the left and right channels.
Main Features
-
Y-Configuration: Designed for insert or signal splitting applications, with one stereo jack (TRS) to two mono jacks (TS).
-
Professional Length: Its 5 meters in length provide a comfortable reach to connect equipment in different environments without creating clutter.
-
High Quality Connectors: Equipped with nickel-plated REAN by Neutrik connectors, ensuring a solid, durable and corrosion-free connection.
-
Channel Identification: The mono connectors are color-coded (red for right/return channel, black for left/send) for quick and error-free installation.
-
Robust Cable: Uses Cordial Essentials Cable 1 (CEC 1) with a conductor area of 0.22 mm² and effective shielding against electromagnetic interference.
-
Durable Construction: The flexible yet tough PVC cover protects the cable from daily wear and tear, ideal for use on tours and in studios.
Product Benefits
The Cordial ECLEY 5 VPP is designed for musicians, sound engineers, and producers who demand the highest quality signal. Its key advantage is the ability to easily and reliably integrate external effects processors (such as compressors, equalizers, or reverbs) into a mixing console. The high-quality components minimize signal loss and noise, ensuring that the processed audio retains its original clarity and dynamics. The robust REAN by Neutrik connectors and the cable itself result in a long lifespan, even under the demands of continuous live use.
Use Cases
-
Insert Cable for Mixers: This is its primary function. It is used to connect an effects processor to a channel on a mixing console. The stereo jack connects to the "Insert" point of the channel, sending the signal (Send) through one conductor and receiving it processed (Return) through the other.
-
Stereo Signal Splitter: Allows you to split a stereo output signal (for example, from a headphone output of a synthesizer or laptop) into two separate mono signals (L/R) to connect to two mono channels of a mixer or to two self-powered speakers.
-
Audio Equipment Connection: Ideal for connecting devices with a stereo output on a single jack to equipment that requires separate mono inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an insert cable or "Insert" used for?
An insert cable is used to create an effects loop on a single connector of a mixing console. This special connector can both send and receive an audio signal. A Y-cable, like the ECLEY 5 VPP, allows you to send the signal from the console to an external processor (compressor, EQ, etc.) through one of the mono jacks, and receive the processed signal back at the console through the other mono jack.
Are REAN by Neutrik connectors reliable?
Yes. REAN is a brand owned by Neutrik AG, the world leader in the manufacture of professional audio connectors. REAN connectors offer excellent value for money, benefiting from Neutrik's engineering and quality standards to ensure high durability and reliable performance.
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
This cable transmits unbalanced signals. The stereo (TRS) connector is used to handle two unbalanced signals (send and return) at a single point, which are then split into the two mono (TS) connectors, each of which carries one unbalanced signal.
