PROEL AT615 - Professional Audio Adapter 6.3 mm Stereo Female Jack to XLR 3 Pin Male
The Proel AT615 is a professional, high-performance audio adapter designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who demand absolute reliability in their connections. This essential component converts a signal from a 6.3 mm (1/4") jack connector to a 3-pin male XLR input, maintaining signal integrity and offering a robust build suitable for the most demanding tours.
Unlike conventional plastic adapters, the AT615 stands out for its all-metal body , which guarantees superior shielding against electromagnetic interference and extreme durability against bumps and drops. Its design includes a safety locking system on the jack input, a critical feature to prevent accidental disconnections mid-performance or recording, ensuring the cable remains secure even if it receives an unexpected tug.
This adapter is ideal for converting balanced line outputs (TRS) from interfaces, mixers, or instruments to XLR format, facilitating interconnection with audio snakes, preamps, or PA systems. The quality of the internal contacts ensures clean, transparent signal transmission without added noise, meeting the standards of Proel's Audio Tools series.
Main features
-
"Road-Ready" Construction: Made with a tough metal alloy that withstands heavy use on stages and in studios.
-
Locking mechanism (Locking Jack): The female connector has a red safety tab that anchors the connected Jack cable, preventing it from being accidentally released.
-
Balanced Conversion: Designed to keep the signal chain balanced (TRS to XLR), reducing the risk of hum in long cable runs.
-
Connection versatility: Compatible with stereo jack (TRS) cables for balanced signals or mono jack (TS) cables for unbalanced signals (depending on the wiring of the source equipment).
-
Compact format: Rigid barrel design that saves space and eliminates excess cabling in racks and pedalboards.
Product benefits
The main benefit of the Proel AT615 is the peace of mind it offers the user. In live performance situations, a broken adapter or an accidental disconnection can ruin the show; thanks to its metal housing and locking mechanism, this risk is virtually eliminated. Furthermore, being a Proel product, it guarantees precision internal soldering and high-quality conductive materials that preserve the original tone of the audio source.
Use cases
-
Live scenarios: Connecting keyboard or guitar processor outputs with Jack output to DI boxes or directly to the XLR inputs of the stage hose.
-
Recording studios: Adaptation of monitor outputs or audio interfaces that only have Jack outputs to connect them to active monitors with XLR input.
-
Fixed installations: Use in patch panels and racks where it is necessary to change the gender or type of connector permanently and securely.
-
Emergency kit: An indispensable tool in any sound technician's backpack to solve connector incompatibility problems at the last minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this adapter convert a stereo signal to mono?
No, the term "Stereo Jack" refers to the physical capabilities of the connector (TRS - Tip, Ring, Sleeve). Although it can carry an unbalanced stereo signal, in professional settings it is primarily used to carry a balanced mono signal to the XLR connector.
Is it necessary to use a specific cable?
To take advantage of the balanced connection, it is recommended to use a TRS (stereo) jack cable. If you use a mono (TS) jack cable, the adapter will work, but the signal will be unbalanced.
Is the body made of plastic or metal?
The outer body is entirely metallic, offering much greater robustness than plastic adapters.
