PROEL BULK550LU18 - Professional Insertion Cable 6.3 mm Stereo Jack to 2 x RCA Male (1.8 Meters)
The PROEL BULK550LU18 is an essential connectivity solution for musicians, sound engineers, and DJs seeking reliability without breaking the bank. Part of Proel's renowned Bulk Series , this insert cable (also known as a Y-cable) is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in recording studios, live setups, and DJ booths.
Measuring 1.8 meters in length, it offers the ideal distance for interconnecting equipment in a rack or mixing console without creating excess cabling that could cause interference. Its technical configuration consists of a 6.3 mm stereo jack (TRS) connector on one end, which splits into two mono RCA connectors on the other. This architecture makes it an extremely versatile tool, capable of managing send and return signals at insert points or splitting a stereo signal into two independent mono channels.
The cable construction utilizes oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) conductors, ensuring clean and transparent signal transmission, minimizing high-frequency loss, and reducing background noise. The connectors are molded from high-strength materials and include strain relief, protecting internal solder points from accidental pulling and ensuring a long lifespan even under heavy use.
Main features
-
Connection Versatility: Transforms a balanced or unbalanced stereo signal (depending on the equipment) into two RCA signals, or functions as an effects loop (Insert).
-
Robust Construction: Molded connectors with an ergonomic design that facilitate grip and quick connection/disconnection.
-
Pure Transmission: High-quality internal wiring to preserve audio integrity and avoid parasitic noise or ground hum.
-
Flexibility: The outer coating is tough yet flexible, allowing for easy handling and rolling up at the end of the session.
Benefits for the user
The main benefit of the PROEL BULK550LU18 lies in its ability to solve signal routing problems immediately and effectively. By using components tested to Proel's quality standards, you can rest assured that your audio signal will not suffer any dropouts or degradation during a performance or recording. It's the "lifesaver" cable that every technician or musician should have in their bag, offering exceptional value for money in the professional audio accessories market.
Use cases
-
Inserting Effects into Mixing Consoles: Ideal for using the "Insert" port of a channel on an analog mixing console, sending the signal to an external effects processor (such as a compressor or reverb with RCA inputs/outputs) and returning it to the channel.
-
Connecting Instruments to DJ Equipment: Perfect for connecting synthesizers, drum machines or keyboards with headphone output or stereo output (Jack) to the line inputs (RCA) of a DJ mixer or Hi-Fi system.
-
Audio Interface Output: Useful for sending audio from a recording interface with headphone output or TRS outputs to studio monitors or recorders that only have RCA inputs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced?
Not in the traditional sense of an XLR microphone cable. The TRS jack carries two signals (Tip and Ring) that are split into two RCA connectors. If used as an insert cable, it's unbalanced (send and return). If used for stereo, it carries unbalanced left and right channels.
Can it be used to connect a mobile phone to an amplifier?
If your phone has a headphone jack and you use a mini-jack to 6.3mm jack adapter, it should work, although ideally you'd look for a direct mini-jack to RCA version if that's your only need. This model is specifically designed for devices with a large (6.3mm) jack input/output.
Are the connectors metal or plastic?
Bulk series connectors are typically injection molded from high-density (robust plastic) with metal tips to ensure electrical connection and offer excellent mechanical strength and insulation.
