PROEL ESO135LU5 - Esoteric Series Instrument Cable Mono Jack to Angled Jack (5m)
The Proel ESO135LU5 represents excellence in connectivity for discerning musicians, belonging to the prestigious Esoteric Series from the Italian brand. This 5-meter instrument cable has been designed not only to transmit sound, but also to preserve the full integrity of your guitar, bass, or keyboard's tone. Unlike standard cables, the Esoteric Series focuses on high fidelity and extreme durability, using top-of-the-line components to ensure that every nuance of your performance reaches the amplifier without coloration or interference.
The construction of this cable is distinguished by the use of high-purity conductive materials and superior insulation. Its hybrid configuration, with a straight connector on one end and a 90-degree angled connector on the other, makes it a versatile and ergonomic tool, ideal for instruments with side inputs or for connecting effects pedals while saving space. Whether on a noisy stage or in the quiet of a recording studio, the ESO135LU5 delivers quiet and robust performance.
Main features
-
Original NEUTRIK Connectors: Equipped with the legendary Neutrik connectors (models NP2X and NP2RX), recognized worldwide for their die-cast metal housing and precision contacts that ensure a firm anchor and perfect electrical transmission.
-
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC): The conductive core is made from high-purity OFC copper, which minimizes long-term oxidation and improves conductivity for crystal-clear sound.
-
Double shielding: Incorporates an advanced shielding system that combines conductive PVC and a dense copper spiral, effectively eliminating handling noise, electromagnetic hum, and radio frequency interference (RFI).
-
"Super flexible" cover: Despite its internal robustness, the outer PVC cover is extremely flexible, preventing the "memory effect" (the cable becoming misshapen) and making it easy to collect after the show.
Benefits for the musician
Choosing the Proel ESO135LU5 means investing in peace of mind. The main benefit is sonic reliability ; thanks to its low capacitance, the highs of your instrument remain bright and defined, avoiding the dull tone produced by inexpensive cables. Furthermore, the durability of the Neutrik connectors ensures that the cable will withstand years of connecting and disconnecting without any looseness or noise from intermittent connections.
Ergonomics also plays a crucial role. The angled connector reduces mechanical stress on the output jack of your guitar or bass, protecting both the cable and the instrument from accidental tugs. This is especially useful on active basses or Les Paul-style guitars where the cable exits from the side.
Recommended use cases
-
Guitars and Basses live: Its 5-meter length is the perfect standard to move freely around medium and large stages without losing signal.
-
Studio Recording: Thanks to its silent shielding, it is ideal for capturing clean takes directly to the audio interface or amplifier.
-
Pedalboards and Keyboards: The angled connector allows you to connect the instrument to the first input of the pedalboard or to the output of a keyboard attached to the wall, optimizing space and avoiding forced bends in the cable.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for speakers or monitors?
No, this is a shielded instrument cable. It should not be used to connect an amplifier head to a speaker cabinet, as it is not designed to handle the power load of amplifiers.
-
Does the angled connector fit all guitars?
It fits the vast majority of guitars. It's ideal for side inputs (like Telecaster, Les Paul, SG). For guitars with recessed "boat" inputs (like Stratocaster), it's generally recommended to use the straight end of the cable.
-
Is it a balanced cable?
No, it's an unbalanced mono TS (Tip-Sleeve) cable, which is the universal standard for electric guitars, basses, and synthesizer mono outputs.
Project description
Professional unbalanced instrument cable, 5 meters long, from the high-end Esoteric series. Constructed with low-capacitance HPC130 coaxial cable and Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor. Terminated on one end with a straight 6.3mm mono male jack (Neutrik NP2X) and on the other with a 90-degree angled 6.3mm mono male jack (Neutrik NP2RX). Features double shielding with semiconducting PVC and a copper spiral for interference rejection, encased in a flexible matte black PVC outer jacket.
