PROEL AT100 - Audio Adapter 6.3 mm Female Mono Jack to 3.5 mm Male Mono Mini Jack with ABS Body
The Proel AT100 is an essential audio adapter for musicians, sound engineers, and electronics enthusiasts who require a reliable connection conversion solution. Designed by the renowned Italian brand Proel, a leader in the manufacture of musical cables and accessories, this device transforms a standard 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) jack connection into a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mini-jack connector. Its specific configuration is monaural to monaural , ensuring signal integrity in single-channel applications without loss or crosstalk.
The AT100's construction is notable for its ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) body, an engineering thermoplastic known for its high impact resistance and long-term durability. Unlike generic adapters made of brittle plastic, ABS provides a robust housing that withstands continuous use on stages, in recording studios, or in home environments. The ergonomic design makes it easy to grip, allowing for firm and secure cable connections and disconnections.
This adapter is ideal for reducing incompatibility between older and newer equipment, or between musical instruments and portable recording devices. By converting a 6.3 mm female input to a 3.5 mm male output, users can integrate standard instrument cables into equipment that only has auxiliary or small-format microphone inputs, while maintaining a clean and direct signal transmission.
Main features
-
Precise conversion: Effectively transforms a signal from a 6.3 mm mono jack connector to be compatible with a 3.5 mm mono mini jack input.
-
ABS Construction: The adapter body is molded from high-density ABS plastic, offering excellent protection against bumps and accidental drops.
-
Nickel-plated contacts: The metal connectors have a nickel coating that ensures optimal conductivity and resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
-
Compact and lightweight design: Its low weight and small size make it perfect to carry in any guitar case, technical backpack or toolbox without adding bulk.
-
Secure connection: The connectors are designed to provide an audible and firm "click" when connecting, preventing accidental disconnections during use.
Product benefits
-
Brand reliability: As a Proel product, it has higher quality control standards than generic, unbranded adapters.
-
Versatility in the studio: Allows the use of high-end cables with large connectors in compact equipment such as modular synthesizers or voice recorders.
-
Electrical insulation: The ABS body acts as an insulator, preventing possible ground noise when handling the connector with your hands while in use.
-
Economical and effective solution: Solves complex connectivity problems immediately without the need to buy complete new cables.
Use cases
The Proel AT100 is extremely useful in various scenarios:
-
Modular Synthesizers (Eurorack): For introducing external instrument signals (such as guitars or effects pedals with 6.3 mm Jack output) into modules that use 3.5 mm inputs.
-
Field recording: Connecting dynamic microphones with standard Jack cable to digital voice recorders or wireless bodypack transmitters that have a 3.5 mm mono microphone input.
-
Educational facilities: Use in language labs or music classrooms where older equipment is mixed with headphones or more modern audio systems.
-
Audio testing: An indispensable tool for technicians who need to check audio lines using signal generators or test speakers with small inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter convert a mono signal to stereo?
No, the Proel AT100 is a mono-to-mono adapter. If you connect a mono signal, the output will remain mono. It does not duplicate the signal to two channels (left and right) on a stereo input.
Can I use it to connect my headphones with a large plug to my mobile phone?
It depends. If your headphones have a 6.3 mm stereo jack (with two black rings), this adapter isn't suitable, as it's mono and you'd only hear sound from one side or with phase issues. For headphones, you'd need the stereo model.
Is ABS material durable?
Yes, ABS is an engineering plastic designed to withstand impacts and temperature changes, making it much more durable than the standard plastic used in low-end adapters.
