PROEL STAGE185LU3 - Professional Instrument Cable Mono Jack to Angled Jack (3 Meters)
The Proel STAGE185LU3 is much more than just an accessory; it's an essential tool for musicians seeking reliability and purity in their audio chain. Part of Proel's acclaimed Stage series, this 3-meter cable has been designed to withstand the demands of live performances and studio sessions, delivering transparent, uncolored signal transmission.
Its connector configuration is ideal for a wide variety of instruments, especially guitars and basses, where the angled jack makes connecting to the instrument easier without creating unnecessary strain, while the straight jack connects conveniently to the amplifier or pedalboard. Made with high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, the STAGE185LU3 ensures low capacitance and a faithful frequency response, preserving the original tone of your instrument.
Robust construction is a Proel hallmark. The cable features a flexible yet durable PVC jacket, designed to prevent tangling and withstand footsteps or moderate mechanical stress. Furthermore, its effective shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic interference and handling noise, ensuring that only your music is heard, clean and powerful.
Main features
-
Professional Connectors: Equipped with a straight 6.3mm Mono Jack and an angled 6.3mm Mono Jack, both with a robust metal housing for extreme durability.
-
High Purity OFC Copper: The internal conductor uses Oxygen Free Copper to minimize oxidation and maximize signal conductivity.
-
Silent Shielding: Incorporates a double shielding system that drastically reduces background noise and external interference (RFI/EMI).
-
Flexible Covering: Its high-quality PVC outer cover offers a soft touch and superior flexibility, making it easy to pick up and set up on stage.
-
Mechanical Durability: Designed to withstand abrasion and the daily heavy use typical of tours and rehearsals.
Benefits for the musician
For guitarists and bassists, the angled connector is a key ergonomic advantage; it allows the cable to hang naturally close to the instrument's body, reducing the risk of accidental disconnections and protecting the instrument's jack input from prying damage. The 3-meter length is perfect for home practice setups, small studios, or stages where the musician stays close to their amplifier or pedalboard, avoiding the excess cable tangled in coils that can degrade the signal ("tone suck").
Use cases
-
Electric Guitars (Strat, Tele, Les Paul type): Ideal for connecting the guitar to the first line of pedals or directly to the amplifier.
-
Electric Basses: Perfect for bass players who need a secure connection without ground loop noise.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Useful for mono (L/Mono) outputs to mixing consoles or keyboard amplifiers.
-
Recording Studios: Excellent for connecting instruments to audio interfaces, ensuring a clean signal for recording.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cable balanced or unbalanced?
This is an unbalanced cable (TS - Tip/Sleeve), which is the standard for instruments such as electric guitars, basses, and most synthesizers.
Does the angled connector help protect my guitar?
Yes, absolutely. On guitars with the input on the body (like a Telecaster or Les Paul), the angled connector reduces mechanical stress on the female jack and prevents the cable from sticking out too much, preventing damage.
Does the 3-meter distance affect sound quality?
On the contrary. Three meters is an ideal length for maintaining signal integrity. Being a short distance, it minimizes the loss of high frequencies that often occurs in much longer passive cables.
