PROEL BULK230LU2 - Balanced Audio Cable 6.3mm Stereo Jack to XLR Male (2m)
The Proel BULK230LU2 is a professional connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians seeking flawless signal transmission without breaking the bank. Part of Proel's renowned "BULK" series, this 2-meter pre-assembled cable combines high-performance engineering with a robust design, ideal for withstanding the demands of daily use on stages, in recording studios, and in rehearsal rooms.
This cable features a balanced configuration, connecting a 6.3 mm stereo jack (TRS) to a 3-pin male XLR connector. The cable core is made of high-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC) , ensuring superior conductivity and minimizing signal loss, even in environments with high electromagnetic interference. The flexible PVC outer jacket not only facilitates cable management and coiling but also provides durable protection against stepping, twisting, and abrasion.
The termination is another of the BULK230LU2's strengths. It incorporates original PROEL metal connectors (models S4CPRO and XLR3MVPRO), known for their robust housing and nickel-plated contacts that ensure a firm, noise-free connection. Whether connecting studio monitors, synthesizers with balanced outputs, or signal processing equipment, this cable offers the transparency and reliability that professional audio projects demand.
Main features
-
High Fidelity Balanced Transmission: Optimized design to eliminate ground noise and external interference, ensuring a clean and powerful sound.
-
PROEL Professional Connectors: Equipped with a metal-cased stereo jack and a robust male XLR connector, both designed to withstand constant plug-in and plug-out cycles.
-
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) Conductor: The use of oxygen-free copper ensures a flat frequency response and maximum signal integrity.
-
Soft-Touch PVC Cover: Offers excellent flexibility and reduced mechanical memory, allowing the cable to extend flat without annoying curls.
-
Efficient Shielding: It has an internal protective mesh that isolates the audio signal from electrical hum and radio frequencies.
Benefits for the user
Investing in the right cabling is just as crucial as choosing the right instrument or microphone. The Proel BULK230LU2 offers peace of mind knowing your signal chain is protected. Its robust construction eliminates the classic pops and crackles that often occur with lower-end cables.
Furthermore, its 2-meter length is perfect for short and medium-distance connections, preventing the clutter of excess cables on the studio floor or behind the rack. It's an essential tool for maintaining a tidy and professional work environment, ensuring that the audio quality you capture or play back is faithful to the original source.
Recommended use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting audio interfaces (with TRS Jack outputs) to active monitors (with XLR inputs), providing a noise-free balanced signal.
-
Electronic Instruments: Connection of synthesizers, digital pianos or drum machines with balanced outputs to mixing consoles or stage boxes .
-
Effects Processors: Interconnection of rack equipment, compressors or equalizers that require physical format conversion (Jack to XLR) while maintaining a balanced line.
-
DJ and PA booths: Secure link between high-end DJ controllers and amplification systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for connecting an electric guitar to an amplifier?
It's not ideal. Although the jack connector fits, this is a balanced (stereo/TRS) to XLR cable. Guitars typically use unbalanced (TS) instrument cables. This model is designed for balanced line signals or microphones.
Can I use it to send a stereo signal?
Technically, the jack connector is stereo (TRS), but since it terminates in a single 3-pin XLR, the standard configuration is for transmitting a balanced mono signal (positive, negative, and ground). It is not used to send two left/right audio channels through the same cable.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, a major advantage of Proel's BULK series is that it uses connectors with unscrewable housings, allowing access to the solder joints for future repairs if needed.
