PROEL AT625 - Professional Audio Adapter 6.3 mm Stereo Female Jack to XLR 3 Pin Female
The PROEL AT625 is an essential tool in the arsenal of any sound engineer, musician, or stage technician. This audio adapter from Proel's renowned professional series has been meticulously designed to solve critical connectivity problems with maximum reliability. Its primary function is to convert a 6.35 mm (1/4") stereo jack connection into a 3-pin XLR input, maintaining signal integrity at all times.
Built to withstand the demands of touring and intensive studio use, this adapter features an all-metal housing that not only offers superior durability compared to plastic but also acts as an effective shield against electromagnetic interference. Thanks to its internal configuration, it allows for balanced signal transmission, which is crucial for eliminating noise and hum in long cable runs or electrically charged environments.
Main features
-
Robust construction: Made with a tough metal alloy that protects internal contacts from bumps, drops and the usual pressure of the stage.
-
Format conversion: Transforms a stereo male jack (TRS) connector into a female XLR output, allowing standard cables to be adapted to microphone inputs or balanced lines of mixing consoles.
-
Compact design: Its cylindrical and ergonomic form factor makes it easy to handle and connect even in confined spaces or dense connection panels.
-
High-quality contacts: Designed to provide clean signal transmission, minimizing treble loss or harmonic distortion.
-
Safety mechanism: The female jack connector incorporates a retention system that ensures firm cable insertion, preventing accidental disconnections during performance.
Benefits for the professional user
Using the PROEL AT625 guarantees peace of mind. As a balanced adapter, it ensures that if you use TRS (stereo jack) cables, you'll maintain the noise cancellation characteristic of professional XLR connections. It's an ideal "lifesaver" solution to always have in your gear bag, allowing you to connect instruments with balanced outputs, audio interfaces, or extend lines without having to solder new cables in the middle of an event.
Typical use cases
-
Recording studios: To connect headphone outputs or auxiliary lines (Jack) to patchbays or preamps with XLR inputs.
-
Live sound: Adaptation of instrument cables (keyboards, effects processors) that terminate in Jack to fit into XLR stage jacks (snakes).
-
Fixed installations: Conversion of wall sockets or connection panels for compatibility with different audio equipment.
-
Line extension: Joining cables of different formats to reach the necessary length without losing quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this adapter convert one stereo signal into two mono XLR signals?
No, this adapter is "point-to-point" for balanced signals (or stereo over a single cable). It maintains the signal exactly as it comes in; if you input a balanced mono signal through the TRS jack, it will output a balanced signal through the XLR.
-
Can it be used to connect a regular microphone to a jack input?
Technically, the gender of the connectors (Female-Female) is generally intended for adapting cables. Check the gender of your microphone cable before purchasing, as this adapter has a female XLR input (it accepts male pins).
-
Does the metal casing affect the sound?
Yes, in a positive way. The metal acts as a Faraday cage, protecting the audio signal against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
