PROEL AT635 - Professional Audio Adapter 6.35mm Stereo Jack Female to Female
The Proel AT635 is an audio adapter from Proel's renowned professional series of accessories, specifically designed to solve connectivity problems in studios, on stages, and in high-fidelity home audio setups. This component acts as a heavy-duty gender coupler , allowing you to join two cables with 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) male jack connectors to extend the total length of your cable run without compromising signal integrity.
Unlike inexpensive plastic adapters that are prone to cracking and generating unwanted noise due to a lack of shielding, the AT635 stands out for its all-metal construction . This robust housing not only offers exceptional durability against accidental drops or stomping on stage, but also provides superior shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean and reliable audio transmission.
Its internal design is optimized to maintain a firm and secure connection. Nickel-plated contacts ensure efficient conductivity and long-lasting corrosion resistance. It's an indispensable tool in the bag of any sound engineer, musician, or audio enthusiast who needs versatility and immediate reliability for extending headphone cables, instrument cables, or balanced lines.

Product benefits
The main benefit of the Proel AT635 lies in its ability to extend the reach of your equipment without the need to solder new cables or purchase longer, more expensive runs. Using this coupler, you can instantly convert two short cables into one long one. Its metal construction offers invaluable peace of mind during live events, knowing that the adapter won't break under physical stress. Furthermore, its metal shielding preserves sound quality, preventing the "hum" common in lower-quality adapters.
Use cases
-
Headphone Extension: Ideal for lengthening the studio headphone cable when the sound source is far from the musician or engineer.
-
Stage and Live: Perfect for joining instrument cables (keyboards, guitars with stereo output) when unexpected extra length is needed during setup.
-
Fixed Installations: Useful for making quick and secure splices in cable trays or behind studio furniture.
-
Balanced Cables: Allows you to extend studio monitor cables or interconnect rack equipment that uses balanced TRS cabling.
