PROEL CHL250LU5 BK - Professional XLR to XLR Balanced Microphone Cable (5 Meters)
The Proel CHL250LU5 BK is a high-fidelity connectivity solution from Proel's acclaimed Challenge Line series. Meticulously designed for musicians, sound engineers, and rental companies who cannot afford signal failures, this cable combines Italian engineering with world-class components. Its robust construction and crystal-clear signal transmission make it an industry standard for live and studio applications.
What sets this model apart is the integration of genuine Yongsheng connectors, manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics . This partnership guarantees you get Neutrik's legendary locking precision and reliability, optimized for unbeatable value. The versatile 5-meter cable offers the perfect balance between freedom of movement on stage and tidy cable management in the studio.
Main features
Proel's Challenge series has earned its reputation thanks to specifications typically found in much higher-end cables:
-
Yongsheng by Neutrik Connectors: Equipped with male and female XLR connectors in a matte black metal housing. These connectors are not only aesthetically elegant and discreet for the stage, but also offer superior mechanical resistance to shocks and being stepped on.
-
Gold-plated contacts: Unlike standard nickel connectors, the gold-plated pins of the CHL250LU5 ensure maximum conductivity and, most importantly, total resistance to long-term corrosion and oxidation, guaranteeing that your sound will not degrade over the years.
-
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC): The internal conductor is made of high-purity, oxygen-free copper. This minimizes capacitance and preserves the integrity of the high frequencies, delivering transparent sound that is true to the original source.
-
High-density shielding: It features a spiral copper shielding mesh that protects the signal against electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference, eliminating unwanted hum even in electrically charged environments.
-
Flexible and durable cover: The soft PVC outer coating allows the cable to wind and unwind easily without creating "memory" or rigid loops, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly.
Benefits for the user
Choosing the Proel CHL250LU5 brings immediate peace of mind to your workflow. For the vocalist, it means every nuance of their performance will reach the mix without coloration or noise. For the sound engineer, it represents reliability: the strain relief system of the Yongsheng connectors ensures the cable won't come loose from the solder, even under strong pulls. Furthermore, its "Total Black" aesthetic (black connectors and cable) makes it virtually invisible to cameras and stage lights, keeping the focus on the artist.
Use cases
This cable is extremely versatile and is recommended for:
-
Live performances: Connecting dynamic and condenser vocal microphones to mixing consoles or stage boxes.
-
Recording studios: Clean signal paths from the recording room to the preamplifiers.
-
Interconnection of equipment: Connection of active studio monitors, audio interfaces and effects processors.
-
PA systems: Link between mixing consoles and power amplifiers or self-powered speakers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable support Phantom power (48V)?
Yes, being a balanced cable with three conductors and high-quality XLR connectors, it is fully compatible and safe for transmitting phantom power to condenser microphones or active DI boxes.
Are Yongsheng connectors compatible with equipment that uses original Neutrik connectors?
Absolutely. Yongsheng is a brand manufactured by the Neutrik group, so it meets all international dimensional standards. It will fit perfectly into any standard XLR port.
Is the cable noisy when you move it?
No. The internal construction includes filler elements and tight shielding that drastically reduces the microphone noise (handling noise) typical of inexpensive cables.
