PROEL CHL230LU1 - Balanced Audio Cable TRS Stereo Jack to XLR Male (1m)
The Proel CHL230LU1 is a professional-grade balanced audio cable designed to deliver flawless signal transmission in studio and live environments. Part of Proel's renowned Challenge Series , this 1-meter cable stands out for its robust construction and ability to maintain sound integrity without interference, making it an essential tool for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians seeking reliability without compromising on budget.
This model is assembled using Proel's renowned HPC225 bulk cable, known for its flexibility and durability. The combination of high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors and an effective shielding structure ensures that the signal travels from source to destination with maximum transparency. Furthermore, its Yongsheng brand metal connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics) guarantee a solid mechanical connection and superior electrical conductivity thanks to their gold-plated contacts.
Main features
-
High Quality Connectors: Equipped with Yongsheng connectors with black metal housing and gold-plated contacts, which prevents corrosion and ensures optimal signal transfer over the long term.
-
HPC225 Cable: Uses Proel's industry standard, a flexible cable with a soft PVC jacket that withstands heavy use and prevents the common tangles on stage or in the studio.
-
Balanced Transmission: 6.3mm TRS (Stereo) Jack to 3-pin Male XLR configuration, ideal for maintaining a balanced signal and eliminating external electromagnetic noise or ground hum.
-
Efficient Shielding: Incorporates a red copper spiral screen that protects the signal against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Benefits for the user
Choosing the Proel CHL230LU1 brings immediate peace of mind to any audio setup. Its main benefit lies in signal purity : thanks to the use of OFC copper, treble loss is minimized and the original dynamics of the sound are preserved. For the on-the-go professional, the robust metal connectors mean the cable will withstand constant plug-and-unplug cycles without fail.
Furthermore, its 1-meter length is strategic for maintaining order. It prevents excess cable from being coiled behind equipment, which not only improves aesthetics and airflow but also reduces the possibility of picking up unwanted noise that often occurs with unnecessarily long cable runs.
Use cases
-
Studio Monitors: Seamless connection from audio interfaces or mixing consoles (with balanced Jack outputs) to active studio monitors (with XLR inputs).
-
Auxiliary Outputs: Ideal for sending signals from the auxiliary outputs or subgroups of a mixing console to power stages or effects processors.
-
Rack Equipment: Clean and short interconnection between preamplifiers, compressors or equalizers within a studio rack.
-
Instruments and Injection Boxes: Connection of balanced outputs from synthesizers or guitar processors to stage boxes or patch bays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to an audio interface?
Generally, no. Microphones typically use XLR-to-XLR cables. This cable (Jack to XLR Male) is more commonly used for balanced line outputs to XLR inputs.
Is it a stereo or balanced cable?
Although the jack connector is "stereo" (TRS), in professional audio applications this cable is used almost exclusively as a balanced mono cable. It uses all three conductors to carry a single audio signal with noise cancellation.
Are the connectors compatible with Neutrik equipment?
Yes, Yongsheng connectors are manufactured to international standards and fit perfectly into any standard Jack or XLR port, including those from Neutrik.
