PROEL STAGE690LU2 - Professional Speaker Cable Mono Jack to Mono Jack (2 meters)
When it comes to connecting your sound equipment live or in the studio, reliability is non-negotiable. The PROEL STAGE690LU2 is a professional power cable designed specifically for connecting passive speakers, amplifier heads, and monitors. Part of Proel's acclaimed Stage series, this 2-meter cable offers a robust, high-fidelity solution for musicians, sound engineers, and installers seeking clean, lossless power transmission.
The construction of this cable focuses on two fundamental pillars: conductor quality and mechanical strength. Unlike standard instrument cables, the STAGE690LU2 is made with HPC610BK cable, which has an internal cross-section of 2 x 1.5 mm² . This thickness is crucial to withstand the electrical current traveling from the amplifier to the speaker without overheating or signal degradation, ensuring that all the power from your amplifier reaches the speakers intact.
At the ends, we find the professional Proel S290BK connectors. These 6.3 mm (1/4") mono jacks are not your average connectors; they stand out for their natural rubber-coated housing, designed to offer an ergonomic and non-slip grip, ideal for quick setups on low-light stages. Furthermore, their internal nylon clip system ensures superior cable retention, protecting the solder joints from accidental tugs and the typical rough handling of touring.
Main features
-
High current transmission: Thanks to its bare copper conductors with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², it guarantees low electrical resistance (12 Ohm/Km), allowing efficient power flow.
-
S290BK Ergonomic Connectors: The Jack connectors feature gold-plated contacts to prevent corrosion and improve conductivity, encased in a shock-absorbing "soft grip" rubber housing.
-
Extreme Flexibility: The ultra-flexible 60 Shore PVC outer coating allows the cable to extend and retract easily, avoiding annoying "memory effect" and knots.
-
Durable Insulation: With a total diameter of 7 mm, the cover protects the internal conductors from being stepped on, cut, and abraded from the ground on stages.
Benefits for the user
The main benefit of the PROEL STAGE690LU2 is peace of mind . By using a proper power cable instead of an instrument cable (a common mistake), you protect your amplifier from impedance damage and ensure the best possible sound. Its 2-meter length is perfect for tidy setups, preventing excess cable from lying around on the floor, which can pick up interference or cause tripping hazards. Furthermore, the quality of the materials ensures a long lifespan, making it a smart investment for your backline .
Ideal use cases
-
Head - Cabinet Connection: The 2-meter length is the ideal standard for connecting a guitar or bass head to its cabinet located directly below, without excess cabling.
-
Stage monitors: Perfect for bridging the signal between passive floor monitors (Link) in stage setups.
-
Portable PA systems: Ideal for connecting power amplifiers to passive speakers at small events, rehearsal rooms, or conferences.
-
Recording studios: For connecting power amplifiers to passive reference monitors with a jack input.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this cable to connect my guitar to the amplifier?
Not recommended. This is an unshielded speaker cable designed for high-impedance interference. If used with a guitar, it will produce a lot of background noise. Use it only to connect an amplifier to a speaker.
Does it work for active speakers?
It depends on the connection. If your active speaker requires a line-level (low voltage) signal, this cable will work, but it's excessively thick. This cable is primarily designed to carry power (watts) to passive speakers.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, the S290BK connectors are detachable and allow access to the solder joints, making any future repairs easier if needed.
