PROEL BULK230LU5 - Professional Balanced Audio Cable 6.3 mm Stereo Jack to XLR Male (5 Meters)
The Proel BULK230LU5 is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who cannot afford any failures in their audio chain. Part of Proel's acclaimed BULK series , this assembled cable represents the industry standard for mechanical reliability and signal purity, offering a robust, stage-proof construction with the Italian engineering that characterizes the brand.
This 5-meter cable is manufactured using Proel's prestigious HPC225 bulk cable. Its core is made of Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) , an essential material for ensuring transparent, dynamic, and color-free signal transmission, preserving all frequencies of your original sound source. Thanks to its balanced configuration, the BULK230LU5 is extremely effective at rejecting electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ground noise, even in environments with a lot of electronic equipment.
Durability is a key feature of this model. The connectors have die- cast metal housings, designed to withstand the constant abuse of touring, accidental steps, and repetitive connections. The outer PVC coating is soft to the touch and highly flexible, preventing the "memory effect" and making it easy to roll up and store after each session.
Main features
-
Professional Metal Connectors: Equipped with a 6.3mm Stereo Jack (TRS) on one end and a 3-pin Male XLR connector on the other, both with impact-resistant metal housings.
-
High Purity OFC Copper: Internal oxygen-free copper conductors that minimize oxidation and maximize electrical conductivity for crystal-clear audio.
-
Balanced Transmission: Specifically designed to cancel noise and hum, ideal for long cable runs or studios with a lot of electrical wiring.
-
Flexible Covering: High-quality PVC sleeve that offers protection against cuts and abrasions without sacrificing the flexibility needed for tidy cable management.
-
Precision Contacts: Terminations designed for a firm and secure fit, preventing accidental disconnections or noise from poor contact.
Product benefits
-
Live Reliability: Thanks to its metal connectors and internal strain relief, you can trust that this cable won't fail in the middle of a performance.
-
Pure, Noise-Free Sound: The combination of shielding and balanced topology ensures that what goes into the cable is exactly what comes out, with no static or radio frequency interference.
-
Connection Versatility: Solves interconnection problems between equipment with different input/output standards (TRS Jack to XLR) without the need for external adapters that degrade the signal.
-
Long Service Life: Investing in the BULK series means acquiring a cable that will stand the test of time, saving you money on frequent replacements.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Ideal for connecting audio interfaces (TRS Jack output) to active studio monitors (XLR input).
-
Synthesizers and Keyboards: Perfect for connecting balanced outputs of professional keyboards directly to stage boxes or mixing consoles with XLR inputs.
-
Signal Processors: Connection of external (outboard) equipment such as compressors or equalizers in recording studios.
-
Live Scenarios: Signal sends from multi-effects pedalboards with balanced output to the sound console (PA).
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for connecting a regular electric guitar to an amplifier?
Generally, no. Electric guitars use unbalanced cables (Mono Jack to Mono Jack). This cable is balanced (Stereo Jack to XLR) and is designed for line-level signals or instruments with specific balanced outputs.
-
Does the 5-meter length affect the sound quality?
No. Being a balanced cable constructed with OFC copper, it can carry the signal up to 5 meters (and greater distances) without audible loss of high frequencies or noise pickup.
-
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, the BULK series connectors are detachable, allowing for future repairs if needed, unlike molded plastic connectors which are disposable.
