PROEL ESO255LU05 - Professional balanced microphone cable with Neutrik connectors (0.5m)
The PROEL ESO255LU05 is much more than just a simple connection cable; it's a key component of Proel's prestigious Esoteric series, designed specifically to meet the most demanding needs of musicians, sound engineers, and professional recording studios. This balanced microphone cable stands out for combining excellent signal transmission with a robust construction, guaranteeing absolute audio integrity with every use.
With a precise length of 0.5 meters , this model is the ultimate solution for maintaining order and quality in complex setups. Its core is made of Proel's acclaimed HPC250 cable, manufactured with oxygen-free copper (OFC), ensuring superior conductivity and crystal-clear sound transparency. By eliminating sound coloration and drastically reducing external interference, the ESO255LU05 becomes the gold standard for critical interconnections where there is no room for error.
The strength of this assembly lies in its terminations: genuine Neutrik XX series connectors. This choice is no coincidence; Neutrik is synonymous worldwide with mechanical and electrical reliability. By integrating these connectors, Proel ensures that the cable will withstand thousands of connection and disconnection cycles without losing grip or contact quality, protecting your investment and your sound in the long run.
Main features
-
Original Neutrik Connectors: Equipped with the NC3FXX (female) and NC3MXX (male) models, recognized for their tough metal housing and "chuck" type cable retention system for extreme durability.
-
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC): The internal conductor uses high-purity OFC technology, minimizing electrical resistance and maximizing signal fidelity, especially at high frequencies.
-
High Density Shielding: Designed for noisy environments, its shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring a quiet background.
-
Flexible and Durable Cover: The outer PVC coating is not only soft to the touch and easy to roll up, but also offers excellent resistance to abrasion and daily wear and tear.
-
Balanced Design: The three-pole architecture ensures common noise cancellation, vital to maintaining audio purity in any professional environment.
Benefits for audio professionals
Using the PROEL ESO255LU05 cable transforms your signal management. By opting for a high-end cable in short runs, you eliminate excess cabling that often acts as an antenna for unwanted noise, instantly improving your system's signal-to-noise ratio. The reliability of Neutrik connectors gives you peace of mind knowing that, once connected, the cable won't fail in the middle of a recording or live performance.
Furthermore, its flexibility facilitates routing in confined spaces, allowing for tight bends without compromising the conductor's internal structure. It's an investment in longevity; while other generic cables begin to fail or introduce noise after a few months of use, Proel's Esoteric series is built to last for years.
Use cases
-
Rack Interconnection: Ideal for connecting preamps, compressors, equalizers and audio interfaces within the same rack cabinet, keeping the back tidy and free of unnecessary cable loops.
-
Patch Panels: Perfect for making short jumps in patch bays in professional recording studios.
-
Wireless Systems: Clean and secure connection from wireless microphone receivers to the mixing console or stagebox.
-
Active Speaker Link: Useful for bridging the signal between studio monitors or PA speakers that are very close to each other.
-
Instrument Microphones: Excellent for situations where the microphone is very close to the junction box or interface, avoiding the mess of long cables on the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the connectors actually Neutrik or are they compatible?
This cable uses genuine Neutrik connectors (models NC3FXX and NC3MXX), guaranteeing the highest quality and compatibility on the market; they are not copies or secondary brands.
-
Is the cable balanced?
Yes, it is a fully balanced cable (XLR to XLR), designed to cancel interference and carry noise-free balanced mono or stereo audio signals.
-
What is the purpose of such a short measurement of 0.5 meters?
This length is strategic to avoid the mess of excess cables ("spaghetti") behind rack equipment, on DJ tables, or in studios, where devices are side by side.
-
Is it suitable for line-level and microphone-level signals?
Absolutely. Its low capacitance and high-quality copper make it perfect for both weak microphone signals and robust line signals between processors.
