PROEL BULK210LU2 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable 6.3mm Jack to XLR Female (2 Meters)
The Proel BULK210LU2 is a professional-grade, pre-assembled audio cable belonging to Proel's renowned "BULK" series, a range designed to deliver maximum reliability and signal purity in demanding environments such as stages, recording studios, and fixed installations. This specific model facilitates a secure, noise-free connection between equipment requiring physical conversion from an XLR output to a line-level jack input, while maintaining the integrity of a balanced signal at all times.
Constructed with premium materials, this 2-meter cable stands out for its flexibility and durability. The cable core uses oxygen-free copper (OFC), ensuring transparent audio transmission, preserving the full frequency range, and eliminating the signal degradation often found in lower-end cables. Its high-density shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), guaranteeing clean, professional sound.
The assembly features Proel's PRO series metal connectors: a 6.3 mm stereo (TRS) jack (model S4CPRO) and a 3-pin female XLR connector (model XLR3FVPRO ). Both ends are housed in die-cast aluminum casings with nickel-plated contacts, providing not only exceptional mechanical durability against accidental tugs and stomps, but also ensuring optimal conductivity over time.
Main Features
-
Professional Connectors: Equipped with the S4CPRO Jack and the XLR3FVPRO, both with die-cast aluminum housing and high-quality contacts to withstand heavy use.
-
Balanced Signal: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) to XLR design that allows noise and hum cancellation, ideal for cable runs where audio clarity is critical.
-
OFC Copper: High-purity Oxygen-Free Copper conductors that minimize electrical resistance and oxidation, offering a flat and accurate frequency response.
-
Durable Coating: The flexible PVC outer cover protects the internal conductors, allows for easy winding without memory effect, and resists abrasion from daily use.
-
Strain Relief: The connectors include internal "chuck" or spring-type clamping systems that prevent the cable from breaking at the soldering point due to mechanical stress.
User Benefits
Choosing the Proel BULK210LU2 means investing in peace of mind. For sound engineers and musicians alike, this cable eliminates annoying hum and static interference that can ruin a recording or live performance. Its robust construction ensures a long lifespan, reducing the need for constant cable replacements. Furthermore, its 2-meter length is ideal for short-distance connections in racks, DJ booths, or desktop studio setups, preventing the clutter of excessively long cables.
Common Use Cases
-
Connecting Microphones to Interfaces: Although less common than XLR-XLR, it is useful for connecting external preamp outputs (XLR) to balanced line inputs (Jack) on audio interfaces.
-
Mixer Output: Connect the main output (Main Out XLR) of a mixing console to active monitors or amplifiers that have a TRS Jack input.
-
Signal Routing in Studio: Interconnection of rack equipment, effects processors or compressors where the output is XLR and the input of the next piece of equipment is Jack.
-
PA Systems: Link between crossovers and compatible power stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable stereo or mono?
Although the jack connector is physically "stereo" (TRS), in professional audio applications this cable is used to carry a balanced mono signal. It is not designed to carry a left/right stereo signal in a single cable, but rather to eliminate noise in a mono signal.
-
Can I use it to connect an instrument like a guitar?
Generally not. Guitars use high-impedance TS (unbalanced) cables. This cable is designed for low-impedance balanced line or microphone signals.
-
Is the XLR connector male or female?
This model (BULK210LU2) has a female XLR connector. This means it connects to a male output on a device (such as a microphone or a mixer output).
Project description
Assembled professional balanced audio cable, model Proel BULK210LU2. 2 meters long. Constructed with oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor wire for low capacitance and high signal integrity, covered with a flexible black PVC jacket. Terminated on one end with a 6.3 mm male stereo jack (TRS) connector, model Proel S4CPRO, and on the other with a 3-pin female XLR connector, model Proel XLR3FVPRO. Both connectors feature nickel-plated die-cast aluminum housings and high-conductivity contacts. Standard pin configuration for balanced signal transmission.
