PROEL BULK120LU3 - 3-meter Professional Instrument Cable Mono Jack to Angled Jack
The Proel BULK120LU3 is an assembled instrument cable designed for musicians and technicians seeking clean signal transmission and durability on stage or in the studio. Part of Proel's renowned "Bulk" series, this cable stands out for its excellent balance of build quality and sonic performance, making it a standard for guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists.
This model is built with HPC115 cable, a high-quality conductor that ensures low capacitance and effective protection against electromagnetic interference and parasitic noise. Its flexible PVC coating not only facilitates handling and winding the cable after each session, but also offers resistance against the wear and tear from everyday use.
The strength of this model lies in its connector configuration: one end features a 6.3 mm straight mono jack and the other a 6.3 mm angled (90-degree) mono jack . Both connectors belong to the professional PROEL S4CPRO series, manufactured with nickel-plated metal housings that ensure a solid connection and protect the internal solder joints from accidental pulls.
Main features
-
Professional Connectors: Equipped with original PROEL S4CPRO connectors with robust metal housing and nickel-plated contacts for optimal conductivity.
-
Hybrid Design: The combination of straight and angled connectors offers versatility for different types of instruments and stage setups.
-
HPC115 Cable: Coaxial instrument cable designed to minimize background noise and preserve the instrument's natural tone.
-
High Flexibility: The outer PVC jacket allows the cable to move freely without creating knots that are difficult to undo.
-
Protection and Durability: Reinforced construction at the ends to prevent breakage at points of greatest mechanical stress.
Benefits for the musician
The use of an angled jack connector offers a significant tactical advantage. When connecting the angled end to a guitar or bass, the cable naturally falls towards the instrument's body, reducing mechanical stress on the input jack and preventing accidental disconnections if the cable is stepped on. Furthermore, on effects pedalboards, the angled connector saves valuable space, allowing pedals to be placed closer together or against walls and amplifiers.
Use cases
-
Stratocaster or Les Paul type electric guitars: Ideal for connecting to the instrument using the angled side for greater convenience and safety.
-
Electric basses: Perfect for bass players who require mobility on stage without compromising the signal.
-
Pedalboard Connection: Excellent for connecting the guitar to the first effects unit on the pedalboard without the cable sticking out too much.
-
Keyboards and Synthesizers: Useful for rear audio outputs where space against the wall or stand is limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for speakers or monitors?
No, this is a shielded instrument cable. It should not be used to connect amplifier heads to speaker cabinets, as they cannot handle the power load.
-
Does the angled connector fit Telecaster-type guitars with a deep input?
It depends on the specific model of the Telecaster's "cup" input; in some cases the 90-degree angle can make full insertion difficult, so using the straight side is recommended in those specific cases.
-
Is it a balanced cable?
No, it's an unbalanced mono TS (Tip-Sleeve) cable, the standard for instruments like guitars and basses.
-
Does the length of 3 meters affect the tone?
3 meters is an ideal length that maintains high signal integrity, minimizing the loss of high frequencies that usually occurs in much longer cables.
Project description
Professional unbalanced instrument cable, 3 meters long. Made with low-capacitance HPC115 coaxial cable and a flexible black PVC jacket. Terminated at one end with a straight 6.3 mm mono male jack connector (PROEL S4CPRO model) and at the other with a 90-degree angled 6.3 mm mono male jack connector, both with nickel-plated metal housing and strain relief.
