PROEL BULK250LU3 - Professional Balanced Microphone Cable XLR Female to XLR Male (3 meters)
The Proel BULK250LU3 is a professional microphone cable designed to deliver flawless signal transmission in demanding environments, from live stages to recording studios. Part of the renowned BULK series from the Italian brand Proel, this 3-meter cable combines precision engineering with highly durable materials, setting a new standard of reliability for musicians, sound engineers, and sound technicians.
At the heart of its design is the HPC225 cable, a high-quality balanced conductor that guarantees a transparent, color-free frequency response. Thanks to its 95% coverage pure copper spiral shielding, the BULK250LU3 offers exceptional rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), ensuring that your microphone signal reaches your mixing console or interface with absolute clarity.
What truly sets this model apart is the inclusion of the PRO series metal connectors: the XLR3FVPRO (female) and the XLR3MVPRO (male). These connectors aren't standard plastic parts; they're made with die-cast, nickel-plated aluminum housings, giving them superior mechanical resistance to impacts and accidental steps. They also feature an internal nylon clamping system and a PVC spring that acts as a strain relief, protecting the solder points and dramatically extending the cable's lifespan, even after thousands of connection and disconnection cycles.
Main features
-
PRO Series Connectors: Equipped with XLR3FVPRO and XLR3MVPRO connectors with die-cast aluminum housing and nickel-plated contacts for optimal conductivity.
-
HPC225 Balanced Cable: Internal construction of oxygen-free copper (OFC) that minimizes signal loss across the entire frequency spectrum.
-
Superior Shielding: High-density spiral copper mesh that blocks external noise and electrical hum.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: Flexible PVC outer cover (60 shore) that allows easy rolling without memory effect, ideal for quick assembly and disassembly on stages.
-
Mechanical Durability: Strain relief system in the connectors that prevents internal breakage from sudden pulls.
Benefits for the user
Using the Proel BULK250LU3 provides immediate peace of mind. For the vocalist or instrumentalist, it means their performance won't be ruined by static or intermittent signal drops as they move around the stage. For the sound engineer, the flexible sheathing makes cable management easier and tidies easier, avoiding the annoying tangles typical of lower-quality, rigid cables.
Furthermore, the robust metal connectors ensure a long-term investment; this is not a disposable cable, but a workhorse designed to withstand the rigors of touring and intensive daily use in rehearsal rooms. Its 3-meter length is perfect for direct and tidy connections, avoiding unnecessary cable clutter in recording booths or DJ setups.
Use cases
-
Recording Studios: Connecting condenser or dynamic microphones to preamplifiers and audio interfaces.
-
Live Sound and Stages: Link between voice or instrument microphones and stage boxes or mixing consoles.
-
Equipment Interconnection: Connecting mixing console outputs to active studio monitors or PA speakers.
-
Rehearsal Rooms: Intensive daily use for bands and musicians requiring wear-resistant equipment.
-
DJ Equipment: Balanced connection between professional DJ controllers and amplification systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable be used to connect monitor speakers to my sound card?
Yes, absolutely. If your sound card and monitors have balanced XLR connections, this cable is ideal for transmitting the signal without noise.
Can the connectors be opened for repair if necessary?
Yes, Proel's PRO series connectors are detachable and repairable, allowing for easy maintenance in the event of an accident, unlike one-piece molded connectors.
Is it compatible with Phantom Power (48V)?
Yes, being a balanced cable with three conductors (ground, positive and negative) and high-quality connectors, it supports and transmits 48V phantom power for condenser microphones without problems.
What is the difference between this cable and an "unbalanced" one?
This balanced cable has a noise cancellation system that allows for longer runs without picking up interference. An unbalanced cable is much more susceptible to electrical noise and hum.
