PROEL AT300 - Professional Audio Adapter Metal XLR-3 Male to 6.3mm Mono Jack
Optimize your audio connections with maximum reliability thanks to the Proel AT300 , a high-performance adapter designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who can't afford any downtime on stage or in the studio. This robust connector instantly solves compatibility issues, allowing you to adapt XLR outputs or inputs to a standard 1/4" (6.3 mm) jack format without sacrificing signal integrity.
Unlike inexpensive plastic adapters that often break with constant use, the Proel AT300 is built with an all-metal body. This casing not only guarantees extreme durability against bumps and drops, but also acts as an effective shield against external electromagnetic interference. Its compact and robust design ensures a secure fit on mixing consoles, powered speakers, or recording interfaces, eliminating annoying noise from loose connections.
This adapter is an essential tool in any audio accessory kit. Its specific configuration (3-pin male XLR to mono male jack) makes it ideal for transforming standard microphone cables or balanced outputs from professional equipment to be compatible with unbalanced line inputs, instrument amplifiers, or PA systems that require a jack connection.
Main features
-
"Heavy Duty" Construction: Made with a heavy-duty cast metal shell that withstands heavy use on tours and daily setups.
-
Precise signal conversion: Effectively transforms a 3-pole XLR connection into a 6.3mm mono jack connector.
-
Electromagnetic shielding: The metal body provides natural protection against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
High conductivity contacts: Designed to provide clean signal transmission, minimizing loss of tone or volume in conversion.
-
Compact design: Its single-block format without intermediate cables saves space and reduces potential break points.
Product benefits
-
Immediate versatility: It allows you to resolve connection incompatibilities in seconds without the need to solder or manufacture new cables.
-
Professional reliability: As a product from Proel's technical range, you have the guarantee of a component tested to withstand the demands of professional audio.
-
Secure connection: The connectors fit precisely (audible click on the XLR side and firmness on the Jack), preventing accidental disconnections during performance.
-
Long service life: Thanks to its absence of fragile moving parts and its metal construction, it is an investment that lasts for years.
Use cases
-
Connecting microphones to amplifiers: Adapt a standard microphone cable (terminating in male XLR) to connect it to the Jack input of a guitar or keyboard amplifier (note: requires impedance/gain adjustment depending on the equipment).
-
Mixing console outputs: Convert the auxiliary or main XLR outputs of a mixing console to send them to monitors or recorders with Jack inputs.
-
Audio Interfaces and Patchbays: Adapting vintage or specialized studio equipment that uses XLR connections to integrate them into modern 1/4" jack patchbays.
-
Emergency kit: An indispensable item for sound technicians at live events to quickly resolve unexpected cabling configurations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter convert a balanced signal to stereo?
No, this adapter is Mono (TS). If you connect a balanced XLR signal, the adapter will unbalance the signal by connecting the ground and negative pins, delivering an unbalanced mono signal through the jack.
-
Can I use it to send Phantom Power (48V)?
Not recommended. Converting to a mono (unbalanced) jack short-circuits one of the signal lines to ground, preventing the phantom power from functioning correctly and safely.
-
Is it made of plastic or metal?
The Proel AT300 has an all-metal construction, which gives it a much higher resistance than plastic adapters.
-
Can it be used to connect a microphone directly to a speaker?
The connection is physically possible, but you must ensure the speaker input is microphone level. If it's a line input, the signal will be very low.
