PROEL ESO255LU10 - Professional Balanced Microphone Cable with Neutrik Connectors (10 Meters)
The Proel ESO255LU10 represents excellence in professional audio transmission, forming part of the acclaimed "Esoteric" series from the Italian brand. This 10-meter microphone cable has been meticulously designed for sound engineers, musicians, and rental companies who cannot afford any signal chain failures. Unlike standard cables, the ESO255LU10 combines the purity of oxygen-free copper (OFC) with the unsurpassed mechanical reliability of genuine Neutrik connectors, setting a new standard of quality in balanced connections for stages and recording studios.
Signal integrity is the top priority in this design. The cable uses Proel's HPC250 model, known for its low capacitance and excellent shielding, ensuring that the sound reaches the preamplifier from the source without coloration, high-frequency loss, or external electromagnetic interference. Its robust yet flexible construction allows for easy coiling and superior resistance to daily wear and tear from touring, avoiding the common "memory effect" or stiffness issues found in lower-end cables.
Main features
-
Original Neutrik Connectors: Equipped with NC3FXX (Female) and NC3MXX (Male) models, considered the industry standard for their durability, secure locking system and high conductivity contacts.
-
High Purity OFC Copper: The internal conductors are made of Oxygen Free Copper (OFC), which ensures crystal-clear transmission and reduces long-term oxidation.
-
Balanced and Silent Construction: Designed to eliminate ground noise and radio frequency interference (RFI), providing a silent, black background even on long 10-meter throws.
-
Flexible PVC Cover: Its outer coating offers excellent mechanical protection against footsteps and cuts, while maintaining a soft flexibility that facilitates handling on stage.
-
Versatile Length: At 10 meters long, it offers the freedom needed to connect microphones on large stages, conference rooms or recording booths without the need for additional splices.
Benefits for the professional user
Investing in the Proel ESO255LU10 cable brings immediate peace of mind to your workflow. For the sound engineer , it means less time troubleshooting noise issues or intermittent connections during soundcheck. For the musician , it ensures that the nuances of their vocal or instrumental performance are faithfully captured. Furthermore, the durability of the Neutrik connectors ensures that the locking mechanism won't wear out prematurely, protecting both the cable and the inputs of your valuable audio equipment (mixers, interfaces, or preamps).
Use cases
-
Large live stages: Ideal for connecting main vocal microphones or guitar amplifiers located away from the stage box or mixing console.
-
Professional recording studios: Perfect for interconnecting recording rooms with the control room while maintaining signal purity over medium-long distances.
-
Fixed installations and auditoriums: Its durable construction makes it suitable for permanent installations in theaters, churches or conference halls where maintenance should be minimal.
-
Active monitor connection: Excellent for carrying the balanced signal from the mixing console to remotely located powered speakers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable compatible with Phantom power (+48V)?
Yes, being a professional balanced cable with high-quality conductors and standard XLR connectors, it perfectly supports the phantom power required for condenser microphones and active DI boxes.
Are the connectors really Neutrik or a copy?
The Proel ESO255LU10 uses original Neutrik connectors (XX series), manufactured in Liechtenstein, guaranteeing the highest mechanical and electrical quality on the market.
Is the cable very stiff or easy to handle?
Thanks to its special PVC compound cover, the cable maintains great flexibility, allowing it to be easily wound and unwound without persistent knots forming.
