PROEL ESO230LU1 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable with Original Neutrik Connectors (Stereo Jack to Stereo Jack, 1 Meter)
The Proel ESO230LU1 is more than just a patch cable; it belongs to Proel's prestigious "Esoteric" (ESO) series , a line specifically designed to meet the demands of professional musicians and recording studios that cannot afford signal loss or interference. This 1-meter balanced cable delivers high-fidelity audio transmission, combining world-class Italian cable engineering with some of the most reliable connectors available.
At the heart of this cable is high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor technology, ensuring superior electrical conductivity and linear frequency response, preserving the natural tone of your instrument or equipment. Unlike generic cables, the ESO230LU1 is assembled with genuine Neutrik® NP3X connectors, renowned in the industry for their extreme durability and precision design that eliminates movement noise.
Its robust yet flexible construction makes it ideal for both rugged stage use and fixed studio installations where cable management is critical. The high-quality PVC jacket protects the internal conductors from being stepped on, twisted, and subjected to daily wear and tear, ensuring your investment lasts for years to come.
Main Features
-
Neutrik NP3X Connectors: Equipped with Neutrik's legendary 6.35 mm (1/4") X-series jack connectors, featuring a nickel-plated housing and one-piece precision contacts that prevent the tip from breaking or getting stuck in the equipment.
-
Balanced Transmission (TRS): Stereo/balanced design (Tip-Ring-Body) that allows for noise cancellation and electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, essential for clean audio connections.
-
100% OFC Copper: Oxygen-free copper conductors that minimize electrical resistance and capacitance, delivering a pure, defined, and uncolored sound.
-
Strain relief system: The connectors feature Neutrik's mandrel-type clamping system, which grips the cable tightly to prevent damage to the solder joints from accidental pulling.
-
Superior Flexibility: Its outer cover made of composite PVC offers a soft touch and excellent flexibility, making it easy to roll up and preventing the memory effect.
Benefits for the user
Using the Proel ESO230LU1 cable in your audio chain brings immediate peace of mind. By eliminating the background noise typical of lower-quality cables, your recordings will sound cleaner and your live performances will be free of annoying hum. The mechanical reliability of the Neutrik connectors means you won't have to worry about connection failures in the middle of an important session; it's a plug-and-forget component that works flawlessly year after year.
Use Cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting the output of your audio interface to active studio monitors, ensuring a balanced and noise-free signal.
-
Effects Processors: Perfect for patching compressors, equalizers, and external effects units in a studio rack (Patchbays).
-
Stereo Instruments: Connecting synthesizers, keyboards or drum machines with balanced or stereo outputs to mixing consoles.
-
DJ Equipment Interconnection: Secure link between professional controllers and mixers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for electric guitars?
The connector fits, but this is a balanced (TRS) cable. Guitars typically use mono (TS) cables. If your guitar or gear requires a standard mono connection, this cable will work, but a specific TS model (like the ESO100) is preferable. If you're using it to connect a guitar processor with a balanced output to an interface, it's perfect.
Are the Neutrik connectors genuine or copies?
This model from the ESO series uses genuine Neutrik® NP3X connectors manufactured in Liechtenstein, not copies or the REAN sub-brand. It is the brand's highest quality standard.
What does OFC mean and why is it important?
It stands for "Oxygen Free Copper." By removing oxygen during the copper manufacturing process, internal oxidation is reduced and conductivity is improved, resulting in clearer sound and a longer cable lifespan.
