PROEL BULK100LU3 - Professional instrument cable, 3 meters mono Jack to Jack
The Proel BULK100LU3 is a professionally assembled instrument cable designed for musicians and sound engineers seeking reliability and pristine signal transmission without compromising on budget. Part of the acclaimed "Bulk" series from the Italian brand Proel, this cable has established itself as an industry standard thanks to its perfect balance of mechanical durability and sonic performance.
Measuring 3 meters in length, this model is ideal for compact stage setups, home studios, or connecting pedals and amplifiers without creating excess cable that can degrade the signal. Its construction incorporates high-quality HPC115 coaxial cable and robust metal connectors, guaranteeing signal integrity free of unwanted noise and a frequency response faithful to the original tone of your instrument, whether it's an electric guitar, bass, or keyboard.
Main features
This cable stands out for its engineering focused on durability and audio quality:
-
High-end S4CPRO connectors: Equipped with two 6.3 mm (1/4") S4CPRO mono jacks. These connectors feature a nickel-plated metal housing that not only provides a professional aesthetic but also acts as an additional Faraday cage at the connection points.
-
Integrated strain relief: The connectors incorporate a spring-loaded or flexible spring design at the base, essential to absorb pulls and prevent cable breakage at the most critical soldering point.
-
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) Conductor: The core of the cable uses oxygen-free copper, which maximizes electrical conductivity and slows down oxidation, ensuring that the cable maintains its sound properties for years.
-
Effective shielding: Designed to minimize electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, providing a quiet background essential for high-gain recordings and live performances.
-
Flexible and durable cover: The outer PVC coating offers excellent flexibility, allowing the cable to be easily wound and unwound without shape memory, while resisting foot traffic and abrasion on stage.
Benefits for the musician
Choosing the Proel BULK100LU3 means investing in peace of mind. Its main benefit is sonic transparency : what you play is what reaches the amplifier, without unwanted coloration or noticeable treble loss, thanks to its low capacitance. Furthermore, its robust construction ensures it will withstand the rigors of touring, constant rehearsals, and daily setup and teardown.
Use cases
-
Guitar/Bass to Amplifier Connection: Perfect length for playing close to the amp or in confined spaces without excess cables on the floor.
-
Pedalboards and Effects: Ideal for the first link from the instrument to the pedalboard.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Secure connection for mono outputs (L/Mono) to mixing consoles or injection boxes (DI).
-
Recording Studios: Its low noise level makes it suitable for capturing clean takes in controlled environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
It is an unbalanced cable (TS - Tip/Sleeve), designed specifically for instruments such as guitars and basses.
-
Can the connectors be repaired?
Yes, the S4CPRO connectors are detachable and have a threaded metal housing, allowing for future repairs if needed, unlike cables with molded plastic connectors.
-
Does it work for connecting passive speakers?
No. This is a shielded instrument cable for line-level or instrument signals. It should not be used to connect amplifier heads to speaker cabinets, as it cannot handle the power load.
-
Is it compatible with electro-acoustic guitars?
Yes, it is fully compatible with any instrument that has a 6.3mm jack output, including electro-acoustic guitars and active bass guitars.
Project description
3-meter assembled instrument cable, model Proel BULK100LU3. It consists of HPC115 coaxial cable with oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor and high-coverage shielding for interference rejection. Terminated at both ends with Proel S4CPRO 6.3mm male mono jack connectors, featuring a nickel-plated metal housing and strain relief system for mechanical protection. The outer jacket is made of flexible, abrasion-resistant black PVC.
