PROEL BULK230LU3 - Balanced Audio Cable TRS 6.3mm Jack to XLR Male (3 Meters)
The Proel BULK230LU3 is a professional-grade cable designed to ensure flawless audio signal transmission in studio and live environments. Part of Proel's renowned BULK series, this model has become an industry standard thanks to its perfect balance of durability, sound quality, and mechanical reliability. It's the ideal solution for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who need to connect equipment with balanced jack (TRS) outputs to XLR inputs.
Built with Proel's acclaimed HPC225 cable, this model stands out for its oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) core, an essential material for preserving signal integrity and minimizing high-frequency loss over its 3-meter run. Unlike budget cables, the BULK230LU3 features high-density shielding that effectively blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring clean, noise-free sound, even in electrically charged environments.
Durability is another key feature of this cable. Its high-quality metal connectors—a 6.3mm stereo jack (TRS) on one end and a 3-pin male XLR connector on the other—are designed to withstand heavy use. The assembly includes robust metal housings and a strain relief system that protects the internal solder points, preventing the cable from breaking due to accidental pulling or excessive bending during equipment assembly and disassembly.
Main features
-
Real Balanced Connection: Designed to carry balanced signals, eliminating hum and noise thanks to phase cancellation in the signal path.
-
Original Proel Connectors: Equipped with metal housing connectors (Models S3CPRO and XLR3MVPRO) that offer superior mechanical resistance to standard plastic connectors.
-
High Purity OFC Conductor: The use of Oxygen Free Copper ensures optimal conductivity and faithful transmission of the full audio spectrum.
-
Flexible and Durable Cover: Its soft PVC outer coating allows for easy rolling without "memory effect", remaining flexible both in climate-controlled studios and on outdoor stages.
-
Connection Versatility: Converts TRS Jack outputs (commonly labeled as "Balanced Out") to standard XLR inputs.
Benefits for the user
By choosing the Proel BULK230LU3, you gain the peace of mind of working with a clean signal. If you're a music producer, you'll notice the absence of static noise when connecting your studio monitors, allowing for more precise mixing. For live musicians, the durability of the metal connectors means you won't have to worry about connection failures mid-performance. It's an investment in reliability and audio quality that extends the lifespan of your connections.
Recommended use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting the output of audio interfaces (which usually use TRS Jack) to the XLR input of active studio monitors.
-
Rack Equipment: Connection of external effects processors, compressors or equalizers that require hybrid Jack-XLR cables.
-
Balanced Instruments: Perfect for professional keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines that have balanced outputs and need to be connected to a stage box or mixing console.
-
Microphones and Interfaces: Useful for connecting auxiliary outputs of mixing consoles to recorders or PA systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable stereo or mono?
Although it uses a "Stereo Jack" (TRS) connector, in this context it functions as a balanced mono cable. It uses all three conductors (tip, ring, and shield) to carry a single noise-free audio signal, not two channels (left and right).
-
Can it be used to connect an electric guitar to a table?
This cable is generally not suitable for a standard guitar (which uses unbalanced TS cable). This cable is designed for balanced line-level signals or instruments with a specific balanced TRS output.
-
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, the BULK series connectors are detachable and feature threaded housings, allowing for easy repairs or resoldering in case of an accident, unlike cables with one-piece molded connectors.
