PROEL PH100LU20 - Hybrid Power and Signal Cable for Active Speakers (20 Meters)
The PROEL PH100LU20 is the ultimate solution for audio professionals seeking efficiency, organization, and reliability in their setups. This hybrid cable, known in the industry as a "Phono-Rete" or "Siamese" cable, combines electrical power and balanced audio signal transmission into a single flexible cable. Designed specifically for connecting active speakers , stage monitors, and DMX-compatible lighting equipment, it eliminates the need for two separate cables, drastically reducing setup time and stage clutter.
Manufactured to Proel's strict quality standards, this 20-meter cable features high-purity copper conductors and advanced insulation that guarantees the integrity of the audio signal, keeping it free from electromagnetic interference from the power line. Its professional connectors ensure a firm and secure connection, ideal for the rigors of touring, live events, and rental applications.
Main Features
-
"All in One" Hybrid Design: Integrates a 3-conductor power line (3x1.5 mm²) and a balanced audio signal line into a single flexible and durable PVC cover.
-
Professional Connectors:
-
Power Supply Side (Console/Wall): Schuko power connector (16A) and 3-pin female XLR connector (to receive signal from mixer).
-
Destination Side (Speaker/Equipment): Three-pole IEC connector (type C13) and 3-pin male XLR connector (to enter the speaker).
-
Superior Isolation: Signal conductors are individually shielded to prevent hum and parasitic noise, even over long runs of 20 meters.
-
Practicality in Assembly: It has an optimized separation length at the ends (fraying): 70 cm on the source side to facilitate connection to strips and patch bays, and 30 cm on the speaker side to keep the cabling compact.
Product Benefits
Using the PROEL PH100LU20 transforms the logistics of audiovisual setup. Its main advantage is workflow optimization : by running a single cable, you solve the two basic needs of a powered speaker. This not only speeds up setup and teardown, but also improves the visual aesthetics of the stage by reducing the visible cable clutter.
Furthermore, the robust outer casing protects the internal conductors from being stepped on, mechanical stress, and constant bending, ensuring a long lifespan. It's an investment in safety and professionalism, minimizing the risk of tripping hazards and accidental disconnections thanks to its high-retention connectors.
Use Cases
-
Live Sound (PA) System: Quick connection of main speakers (Main PA) and active subwoofers located away from the mixing console or power rack.
-
Stage Monitors: Ideal for powering active wedges distributed around the stage, keeping the floor clear for the musicians.
-
Corporate Events and Conferences: Where aesthetics are crucial and discreet and tidy cabling is required for speakers distributed throughout the room.
-
DJ booths: Clean connection of booth monitors without excess cabling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the power cable introduce noise into the audio signal?
No. The cable is specifically designed with high-quality shielding in the audio section and adequate insulation in the power section to prevent the induction of electrical noise or 50Hz hum in the sound signal.
Does it work with any active speaker?
It is compatible with the vast majority of professional speakers that use an IEC power input (the standard "computer" or "kettle" connector) and an XLR audio input. Please verify that your speaker uses these standard connectors.
Can I use it for lighting?
Yes, in addition to audio, the XLR signal line can be used to transmit DMX data to spotlights or moving heads that require IEC power and a 3-pin DMX signal, greatly simplifying lighting setup.
