PROEL BULK535LU18 - Professional Insertion Cable Stereo Jack to 2 x Mono Jack (1.8 m)
The Proel BULK535LU18 is a professional insert cable from Proel's renowned Bulk series , designed to deliver flawless signal transmission in studio and live sound environments. This Y-adapter cable is an essential tool for sound engineers and musicians who need to integrate external effects processors or reliably split stereo signals. At 1.8 meters long, it offers the flexibility needed for connections in patchbays, mixing consoles, and racks without creating unnecessary cable clutter.
Manufactured to the Italian brand's strict quality standards, this cable stands out for its robust construction and ability to maintain audio integrity. Its configuration converts a 6.3 mm stereo jack (TRS) connector into two 6.3 mm mono jack (TS) connectors, enabling the send/return signal flow essential for analog console inserts, or for splitting stereo outputs from keyboards and synthesizers into independent mono channels.
Proel's Bulk series is synonymous with durability and performance at a competitive price. The cable uses high-purity oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) conductors, ensuring low capacitance and minimal resistance, preventing the loss of high frequencies and guaranteeing transparent sound. Furthermore, its outer jacket is flexible yet durable, ideal for withstanding intensive daily use without compromising protection against electromagnetic interference.
Main features
-
Precise connectivity: Precision-machined 6.3 mm (1/4") jack connector terminations ensure firm, noise-free contact.
-
OFC Conductors: The use of Oxygen Free Copper minimizes oxidation and improves electrical conductivity for crystal-clear audio.
-
Optimized length: Its 1.8 meters are ideal for connecting nearby equipment, such as a mixing console to an effects rack, keeping the studio tidy.
-
Effective shielding: Designed to reject external noise and hum, providing a clean signal even in electronically overloaded environments.
-
"Y" Versatility: Works both for insertion (Send/Return) and for stereo to dual mono signal splitter.
Product benefits
-
Professional reliability: Forget about connection failures in the middle of a recording or performance; Proel connectors are designed to last.
-
Pure signal: Thanks to its high-quality materials, your audio will reach the processor or speakers without coloration or parasitic noise.
-
Simple organization: Its flexible cover allows it to be rolled up and managed easily, avoiding annoying tangles behind your equipment.
-
Smart investment: Offers high-end features (low noise, solid connectors) while maintaining excellent value for money.
Use cases
-
Effects insertion: Connect a mixing console channel to an external compressor, graphic equalizer, or noise gate using the "Insert" point.
-
Signal splitting: Separate the stereo output of a keyboard, synthesizer, or drum machine into two mono channels (L and R) for individual processing on the mixing console.
-
Recording studios: Quick patching between audio interfaces and analog preamps or processors.
-
Live scenarios: Management of auxiliary sends or complex guitar pedalboard configurations that require signal splitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable balanced?
No. Although it uses a TRS connector (which is used for stereo or balanced signals), in this insert cable ("Y") configuration, the signal is split into two unbalanced (TS) lines. This is the standard for insert points.
-
How do I identify which connector is for sending and which is for returning?
Generally, on insert cables, one mono connector corresponds to the tip (usually Send) and the other to the ring (usually Return). A quick signal test is recommended, although they are usually color-coded or labeled.
-
Can I use it to connect a mobile phone to a table?
Not directly if the output is a 3.5mm mini-jack. This cable has larger 6.3mm connectors. You would need additional adapters, so it's recommended to look for a specific 3.5mm to dual 6.3mm jack cable for that use.
-
Does the length of 1.8 meters include the connectors?
The measurement is the approximate total length of the cable from end to end, providing a convenient reach for racks adjacent to the table.
