PROEL S4RCS - Professional 6.3 mm Mono Angled Jack Connector with Metal Housing
Optimize your audio connections and ensure maximum signal integrity with the PROEL S4RCS . This 6.3 mm (1/4") jack connector has been designed for musicians, sound engineers, and installers seeking a robust and reliable solution for their audio setups. Its 90-degree angled design is the ideal solution for space-constrained environments, allowing for cleaner and safer cable management on stages, in recording studios, and around effects pedalboards.
Manufactured to Proel's exacting quality standards, the S4RCS stands out for its all-metal construction . Both the contacts and the outer casing feature a durable, silver-plated (nickel-plated) finish, providing not only a professional and elegant aesthetic but also effective shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Unlike plastic connectors, this model withstands the rigors of touring and intensive daily use without compromising performance.
One of the strengths of this connector is its cable protection system. It incorporates a flexible metal spring on the back that acts as a strain relief. This spring prevents the cable from bending excessively at the exit point, drastically reducing the risk of internal breakage of the conductors, a very common failure in instrument cables that are subjected to constant pulling.
Main features
-
Ergonomic "L" Design: Its angled shape reduces mechanical stress on the instrument or amplifier input and allows equipment to be placed closer to the wall or fitted into compact pedalboards.
-
Armored Metal Construction: Robust die-cast housing with nickel-plated finish that ensures extreme durability and protection against parasitic noise.
-
High Conductivity Contacts: The tip and monaural stem (TS) are precision machined to ensure a firm fit in the female jack, preventing crackling from poor connection.
-
Spring Cable Protection: Metal spring strain relief absorbs pulls and protects internal soldering, extending the life of your custom cables.
-
Easy Assembly: Large, accessible internal solder terminals make it easy to create custom cables, even for users with basic electronics experience.
Benefits for the musician and the technician
Using the Proel S4RCS transforms the reliability of your gear. For guitarists and bassists, it means the cable won't protrude dangerously from the instrument, preventing accidental bumps that could damage both the connector and the instrument's jack. In the context of pedalboards, it allows you to place pedals closer together, saving valuable space.
Furthermore, the metal casing ensures a continuous and effective ground connection, eliminating the annoying hum that often ruins a recording or live performance. It's a small investment that protects much more expensive equipment.
Use cases
-
Instrument Cables (Patch Cables): Ideal for making short interconnection cables between guitar and bass effects pedals.
-
Amplifier Connection: Perfect for connecting the cable to the amplifier when it is attached to a wall or in a closed rack.
-
Keyboard and Synthesizer Outputs: Protects the rear output ports of keyboards, preventing the weight of the cable from damaging the internal connectors.
-
Equipment Repair: A fast and durable solution for replacing broken plastic connectors or faulty cables in studios and rehearsal rooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this connector mono or stereo?
The Proel S4RCS is a Mono (TS - Tip/Sleeve) connector. It is designed for unbalanced signals, such as those from electric guitars, basses, and most musical instrument line outputs.
What cable thickness does it support?
Thanks to its flexible spring, it accommodates most standard instrument cables on the market, working optimally with coaxial audio cables up to 6 mm or 7 mm in outer diameter.
Is welding required for installation?
Yes, this is a solder-type connector. You will need a soldering iron and basic tools to attach the wire's center conductor and shield to the internal terminals.
Is the body entirely metallic?
Yes, both the outer casing and the internal structure and the protective spring are metallic, which guarantees superior robustness compared to connectors with plastic or rubber casings.
