PROEL ESO210LU5 - Professional Balanced Microphone Cable with Neutrik Connectors (5 Meters)
The Proel ESO210LU5 represents the standard of excellence in professional audio transmission, designed specifically for musicians, sound engineers, and rental companies who cannot afford any failures on stage or in the studio. This 5-meter assembled cable combines Proel's legendary cable manufacturing quality with the unsurpassed mechanical reliability of genuine Neutrik® connectors, delivering a pure, transparent, and interference-free signal chain.
Unlike generic cables, the ESO series uses the renowned HPC210 balanced cable. Its internal construction is based on high-purity (99.99%) Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring optimal conductivity and preventing the long-term oxidation that typically degrades the signal in lower-grade cables. This attention to detail ensures that the full frequency range, from the deepest bass to the clearest treble, is transmitted without coloration or power loss.
Durability is key in a professional environment. The cable features a super-flexible 6.5 mm diameter PVC outer jacket, designed to withstand trampling, pulling, and intensive daily use without developing a "memory effect," allowing the cable to be easily coiled and uncoiled session after session. Furthermore, its high-density copper spiral shielding provides an effective barrier against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a quiet background even on electrically charged stages.
Main features
-
Neutrik® Reference Connectors: Equipped with the NC3FXX (Female) and NC3MXX (Male) models, the latest generation of the global XLR standard. They feature a robust nickel housing, silver contacts for improved transmission, and a "chuck" strain relief system that secures the cable 360 degrees, preventing internal breakage from pulling.
-
High Fidelity OFC Conductors: The use of oxygen-free copper in the internal conductors (24 AWG) minimizes electrical resistance and maximizes signal propagation speed.
-
High Coverage Shielding: The dense copper spiral screen offers over 90% coverage, protecting the signal integrity from external hum and interference.
-
Low Capacitance: Technically designed to maintain a low capacitance (46 pF/m), which prevents the loss of high frequencies in long cable runs, maintaining the brightness and detail of the original sound.
Benefits for the user
Investing in the right cabling is just as important as choosing a good microphone. The Proel ESO210LU5 offers peace of mind knowing that the connection between your instrument or voice and the mixing console is solid. For the sound engineer, this means less time troubleshooting ground noise or microphone cable issues; for the performer, it means their performance will reach the audience with complete fidelity. The durability of Neutrik connectors ensures years of connections and disconnections without looseness or contact failures.
Use cases
-
Studio Recording: Ideal for connecting high-end condenser microphones where a low noise floor is critical.
-
Stages and Live Sound: Its durable cover and flexibility make it perfect for touring, supporting the constant movement of vocalists and instrumentalists.
-
Fixed Installations and Broadcast: Absolute reliability for conference rooms, auditoriums and radio/TV studios where maintenance must be minimal.
-
Active Equipment Connection: Excellent for interconnecting studio monitors, self-powered PA speakers, and rack processors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the connectors really Neutrik or a copy?
This assembled model (LU5) uses original Neutrik® connectors manufactured in Liechtenstein (XX series), recognizable by their hologram and superior build quality; they are not copies or secondary brands such as Rean or Yongsheng.
-
Is this cable suitable for Phantom power (+48V)?
Absolutely. Being a high-quality balanced cable with OFC conductors and proper insulation, it safely and reliably carries 48V phantom power to your condenser microphones or active DI boxes.
-
Is the cable rigid or flexible?
The PVC compound used in the cover (60 Shore) is specifically formulated to offer high flexibility ("Soft PVC"), making it easy to handle and roll up without becoming rigid over time.
