PROEL BULK200LU5 - Professional Asymmetrical Audio Cable Mono Jack to XLR Female (5 meters)
The Proel BULK200LU5 is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and audio enthusiasts seeking uncompromising reliability. Part of Proel's renowned BULK series , this 5-meter pre-assembled cable delivers clear and robust signal transmission, exceeding conventional entry-level cable standards. Its 6.3 mm mono jack to 3-pin female XLR configuration makes it an indispensable tool for adapting connections between microphones and equipment lacking balanced XLR inputs, or for specific instrument setups.
Manufactured with Proel's prestigious HPC225 cable, this model stands out for its internal Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) construction, which guarantees superior signal purity and slows oxidation over time. Flexibility is one of its greatest strengths: thanks to its super-flexible 6.5 mm PVC jacket, the cable unwinds and coils easily, preventing the dreaded memory effect and tangles on stage or in the studio. High-quality metal connectors with alloy housings ensure extreme durability under continuous use and the rigors of live performance.
Main Features
-
PROEL Professional Connectors: Equipped with an S4CPRO Mono Jack and an XLR3FVPRO Female XLR connector, both with nickel metal housings that offer superior protection against shocks and pulls.
-
HPC225 High Fidelity Cable: OFC copper core that minimizes signal loss at high frequencies, providing a clear and defined sound.
-
Effective Shielding: Features a high-density copper spiral shield that protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), ideal for noisy environments.
-
Asymmetrical (Unbalanced) Design: Specific configuration to bridge signals between XLR outputs and mono Jack instrument or line inputs.
-
Durability and Flexibility: Its "Soft-touch" PVC cover is not only pleasant to the touch, but also resists abrasions and allows for quiet handling.
Product Benefits
Choosing the Proel BULK200LU5 means investing in peace of mind. Its robust construction eliminates the unwanted movement noise ("microphone noise") that often plagues lower-quality cables. For vocalists and instrumentalists, this translates into uninterrupted performances free from annoying pops and crackles. Furthermore, its 5-meter length offers the perfect balance between freedom of movement and preserving signal integrity, being long enough for small to medium-sized stages without introducing the excess capacitance that muffles the tone in longer cables.
Use Cases
-
Dynamic Microphone Connection: Ideal for connecting vocal microphones (with XLR output) directly to guitar amplifiers, keyboards, karaoke machines, or portable speakers that only have a 6.3 mm jack input.
-
Home Studio and Recording: Perfect for older audio interfaces or compact mixers where an XLR signal needs to be adapted to a Hi-Z line or instrument input.
-
Mixer Output: Useful for connecting the auxiliary or main XLR output of a mixing console to monitors or recorders with a Jack input.
-
Portable PA Systems: Quick solution for mobile DJ setups or events where connection versatility is vital.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable balanced?
No, this cable is unbalanced (asymmetrical). When converting from XLR (3 pins) to a mono jack (2 poles), the signal loses its balance. It's ideal for short to medium distances (like 5 meters) where the risk of interference is low.
-
Can I use this cable for a condenser microphone?
Generally not, since condenser microphones require phantom power (+48V) which is only transmitted through balanced XLR-to-XLR cables. However, it will work perfectly with dynamic microphones that do not require phantom power.
-
Can it be used to connect a guitar to a mixing console?
This is not the norm, as guitars usually have a female jack output (requiring a male-to-male jack or male-to-XLR cable). This cable has a female XLR connector, designed to receive the signal from a microphone or male output.
-
Is the jack connector stereo or mono?
The connector is a 6.3 mm Mono Jack (TS), designed for typical mono signals from individual instruments or microphones.
Project description
5-meter assembled professional asymmetrical audio cable, model Proel BULK200LU5. Connector configuration: 6.3 mm male mono jack (model PROEL S4CPRO) to 3-pin female XLR (model PROEL XLR3FVPRO), both with high-strength zinc alloy metal housings and a nickel-plated finish. The cable uses HPC225 type conductors with 24 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors and high-density copper spiral shielding for interference rejection. It features a flexible 6.5 mm diameter black PVC outer jacket. Designed for microphone or line signal matching applications in live sound environments and fixed installations.
