PROEL ESO130LU3 BK - Professional Instrument Cable Esoteric Series with Neutrik Connectors (3 Meters)
The Proel ESO130LU3 BK represents the pinnacle of audio engineering in Proel's acclaimed Esoteric series. Meticulously designed for musicians and sound professionals who demand nothing less than perfection, this 3-meter assembled instrument cable combines the transmission purity of the HPC130 bulk cable with the legendary robustness of Neutrik NP2X connectors.
In the world of professional audio, signal integrity is paramount. The Esoteric series has been developed to ensure that your instrument's tone reaches your amplifier or mixing console without coloration, distortion, or external interference. Thanks to its oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) construction and advanced shielding system, this cable delivers exceptional sonic transparency, preserving the nuances and attack of your performance, whether on a noisy stage or in the critical silence of a recording studio.
Durability is another key feature of the ESO130LU3. Its flexible PVC cover not only makes it easy to handle and prevents tangling, but it's also designed to withstand the mechanical stresses typical of touring and heavy use. By integrating genuine Neutrik connectors with die-cast zinc housings, you get a secure and stable connection that will withstand thousands of plug-and-disconnect cycles without failure.
Main features
-
High Conductivity: Manufactured with 18 AWG OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) tinned copper conductors, guaranteeing a pure and crystal clear signal transmission.
-
Original Neutrik Connectors: Equipped with two 6.3 mm NP2X model mono jacks, with nickel contacts and a robust metal housing for maximum reliability.
-
Double Shielding: Incorporates a conductive PVC (graphite) screen and a high-density copper braid to effectively eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency noise.
-
Low Capacitance: Designed to prevent the loss of high frequencies, maintaining the brightness and natural presence of the instrument even on long runs.
-
"No-Slip" Cover: The flexible PVC outer covering (HPC130) offers a soft touch, abrasion resistance and prevents the cable from slipping unexpectedly on the stage.
Benefits for the musician and the technician
Choosing the Proel ESO130LU3 cable means investing in the peace of mind of your audio chain. For guitarists and bassists, this translates into a more defined sound , free from that annoying background hum, allowing the instrument's pickups to breathe properly. The robust Neutrik connectors eliminate the fear of connection failures mid-performance, thanks to their "chuck" cable retention system that absorbs accidental tugs.
Use cases
-
Instrument Connection: Ideal for connecting electric guitars, basses, electro-acoustic guitars and keyboards to amplifiers or pedalboards.
-
Recording Studios: Perfect for routing clean signal from the instrument to the audio interface or injection box (DI box).
-
Live Stages: Its resistance and flexibility make it ideal for heavy-duty use on tours, concerts and rehearsals.
-
Rehearsal Rooms and Conservatories: Where durable equipment is required that can withstand daily use by multiple students.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
It is an unbalanced (mono) cable. It is specifically designed for instruments such as guitars and basses that use a high-impedance mono output.
Can the connectors be repaired?
Yes, Neutrik NP2X connectors are detachable and repairable. Unlike injection-molded plastic connectors, these allow access to the solder joints should maintenance be required in the future.
Can it be used to connect a speaker or amplifier head to a speaker cabinet?
Not recommended. Although the connector fits, this is a shielded instrument cable designed for line/instrument level signals, not for powering an amplifier to a speaker. For that, you should use a speaker cable.
Project description
Esoteric Series Proel ESO130LU3 Professional Instrument Cable. 3 meters long. Constructed with low-capacitance HPC130 coaxial cable, featuring an 18 AWG (0.75 mm²) tinned copper OFC inner conductor and 3.10 mm PEE insulation. It has a double shielding system consisting of a conductive thermoplastic layer (graphite) and a high-density tinned copper braid (95% coverage) for interference rejection. The outer jacket is made of flexible, non-slip, black PVC, 7.00 mm in diameter. Terminated at both ends with genuine Neutrik NP2X 6.3 mm (1/4") mono jack connectors with nickel contacts, die-cast zinc housing, and a clamp-type strain relief system. Compliant with CE and RoHS standards.
