PROEL STAGE185LU5 - Professional Instrument Cable Mono Jack to Angled Jack (5m)
The Proel STAGE185LU5 is much more than just a connection cable; it's a fundamental tool in Proel's acclaimed Stage Innovation series, designed specifically for musicians who demand reliability and purity of sound on stage and in the studio. This 5-meter instrument cable combines precision Italian engineering with high-strength materials, offering a durable solution for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists.
Its distinctive feature is the hybrid configuration of its connectors: a straight mono jack on one end and a 90° angled mono jack on the other. This arrangement is strategic to avoid mechanical stress on the instrument input and facilitate connection in confined spaces, such as pedalboards or amplifiers mounted close to the wall. Made with oxygen-free copper (OFC), this cable guarantees crystal-clear signal transmission, preserving the natural tone of your instrument without unwanted coloration.
Main features
-
Original Proel Connectors: Equipped with 6.3 mm (1/4") jack connectors with a robust metal housing that withstands the intensive use of tours.
-
Straight/Angled Design: The perfect combination for versatility. The "L" shaped connector is ideal for connecting to a guitar without the cable sticking out dangerously or for neatly fitting into a pedalboard.
-
High Purity OFC Copper: The internal conductor of Oxygen Free Copper ensures low capacitance and superior conductivity.
-
Effective Shielding: It features an insulating mesh that drastically reduces background noise, hum, and electromagnetic interference.
-
Durable Coating: Its flexible "Soft Touch" PVC outer cover prevents the cable from tangling easily and withstands the usual footsteps and bends on stage.
Product benefits
Investing in the Proel STAGE185LU5 cable means investing in peace of mind during your performance. Its robust construction eliminates common connection problems found in generic cables (such as crackling noises when moving). The angled connector acts as a natural strain relief system when the cable is routed through your guitar strap, protecting both the cable and your instrument's output jack. Furthermore, its 5-meter length offers the perfect standard length: enough freedom to move around the stage without suffering from the tone suck that occurs with excessively long cables.
Use cases
-
Guitars with side input: Ideal for Les Paul or Telecaster models, where the angled jack is closer to the body and prevents accidental bumps.
-
Effects pedalboards: Perfect for connecting the guitar to the first pedal in the chain or from the last pedal to the amplifier, saving space thanks to the angled connector.
-
Electric Basses and Keyboards: Excellent for bass players looking to maintain the punch of their low frequencies and keyboard players who need a secure connection to the amplifier or DI box.
-
Recording studios and rehearsal rooms: Where a clean signal free of parasitic noise is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable work for guitars with a Stratocaster-type (sunken) input?
If your guitar has the input recessed into the body (like a classic Stratocaster), it is recommended to use the straight end of the jack for the guitar and the angled end for the amplifier or pedalboard, as the angled jack might not fit properly in the cavity.
Is it a balanced or stereo cable?
No, this is a mono (unbalanced) cable designed specifically for high impedance instruments such as electric guitars and basses.
Is the cable rigid or flexible?
Thanks to its special PVC compound, the cable is highly flexible, making it easy to collect after the concert and preventing it from retaining unnatural shapes ("cable memory").
Project description
5-meter unbalanced professional instrument cable from Proel's Stage series. Made with high-quality coaxial cable and oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors for optimal signal transmission. Terminated with a straight 6.3 mm mono male jack and a 90-degree angled 6.3 mm mono male jack, both with heavy-duty metal housings. The flexible black PVC outer jacket is designed to withstand mechanical stress and reduce handling noise.
