PROEL AT320 - Professional Audio Adapter XLR 3 Pin Male to 6.3mm Mono Female Jack
The Proel AT320 is a professional audio adapter designed to provide robust and reliable connectivity solutions for live sound and studio environments. This essential component allows for the physical conversion of a standard XLR connection to a 6.3 mm jack input, or vice versa, depending on your audio chain configuration. Manufactured by Proel, a leading brand in the audio technology and music accessories sector, the AT320 stands out for its all-metal construction , ensuring superior durability compared to conventional plastic adapters.
Its design is built to withstand the rigors of touring, live performances, and recording studios, where signal reliability is critical. The rugged metal casing not only protects the internal connections but also provides shielding against external electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring cleaner, noise-free signal transmission. It's the perfect "lifesaver" tool to always have in the kit of any sound engineer or musician.
Main features
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Made from a high-strength metal alloy (usually zinc or cast nickel) that withstands shocks, drops, and daily stage wear and tear.
-
Precision connectors: It features a 3-pin male XLR connector on one end and a 6.3mm (1/4") mono jack (female) socket on the other, machined to ensure a tight, loose fit.
-
Compact design: Its "all-in-one" format eliminates the need for short intermediate cables, reducing clutter and minimizing signal loss due to cable length.
-
Efficient contacts: The internal terminals are designed to offer optimal conductivity and long-term corrosion resistance.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel AT320 provides peace of mind. Its main advantage lies in its ability to instantly resolve connection incompatibilities without sacrificing audio quality. Unlike inexpensive adapters that can introduce unwanted noise or crackling sounds when moved, the AT320's robust construction ensures stable electrical continuity. Furthermore, its rigid body makes it ideal for fixed installations or patch panels where organization and durability are essential.
Typical use cases
-
Connecting instruments to mixers: Allows you to connect a standard instrument cable (male jack to male jack) to an XLR microphone input on a mixing console (Note: it is recommended to monitor impedance levels).
-
Audio hose adapter: Ideal for converting stage returns or sends that terminate in XLR so that they can be used with equipment that only has Jack input/output.
-
Recording studios: Useful for interconnecting older equipment or outboard gear that does not have balanced XLR connections, integrating them into modern workflows.
-
Emergency kit: An essential accessory for sound technicians, DJs and musicians to solve unexpected cabling problems during a live event.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter convert a stereo signal to mono?
No, this adapter is specifically mono (TS). If a stereo jack (TRS) connector is inserted, the ring could short to ground depending on the wiring, resulting in the loss of the right channel or the balanced signal. It is designed for unbalanced mono signals.
-
Do I need phantom power to use it?
No, the adapter is passive and does not require power. However, be careful not to activate phantom power (48V) on the mixing console if you connect equipment that does not support it through this adapter, as this could damage the device connected to the jack side.
-
Does it affect sound quality?
The Proel AT320 is designed for transparency. Thanks to its metal construction and high-quality contacts, signal degradation is imperceptible under normal use.
