PROEL CHL400LU5 - 5 Meter Professional MIDI Cable with YongSheng Metal Connectors
The Proel CHL400LU5 is a high-performance MIDI cable from Proel's acclaimed Challenge series, designed specifically for musicians, producers, and sound engineers who cannot afford any data transmission errors. In an environment where timing accuracy and signal integrity are critical, this 5-meter cable offers a robust and professional solution for connecting all types of digital musical equipment.
Unlike generic plastic cables, the CHL400LU5 stands out for its superior construction. It's assembled with genuine YongSheng connectors (manufactured by Ningbo Neutrik Electronics), ensuring a solid and durable connection. Its gold-plated contacts guarantee smooth, oxidation-free data transfer that withstands the test of time, eliminating common problems such as dropped notes, latency caused by poor connections, or lost control messages.
At 5 meters long, it offers the flexibility needed for medium-sized studio setups and stages, allowing you to connect keyboards, synthesizers, and modules without excessive strain on the ports. Its outer jacket is flexible yet durable, designed to withstand frequent foot traffic and coiling without deforming or developing a "memory" in the cable.
Main features
-
High-Quality YongSheng Connectors: Equipped with 5-pin DIN connectors manufactured under Neutrik Group standards, offering a perfect and secure fit in any standard MIDI port.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: The pins feature a gold plating that maximizes conductivity and prevents corrosion, ensuring that the data signal remains pure year after year.
-
Robust Metal Housing: The connectors are protected by a metal housing with a matte black finish, offering much greater resistance to shocks and drops than molded plastic connectors.
-
Challenge Series Construction: Uses oxygen-free (OFC) cabling and effective shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference that could corrupt MIDI data.
Product benefits
This cable is an investment in peace of mind. For the live musician, the metal housing means that an accidental stomp on stage won't break the connector mid-show. For the studio engineer, the gold-plated contacts ensure that every Note On/Off message, program change, or MIDI Clock signal reaches its destination with maximum timing accuracy.
Furthermore, by integrating YongSheng brand connectors, you get the engineering and reliability associated with top-of-the-line brands at a very competitive cost, achieving an exceptional price-quality ratio for professional installations.
Use cases
-
Keyboard and Synthesizer Connection: Ideal for connecting your master controller keyboard to sound modules or hardware synthesizers in a remotely located rack.
-
Audio and MIDI Interfaces: Perfect for linking your recording interface with external instruments without risk of signal loss over a 5-meter distance.
-
Pedalboards and Effects: Recommended use for guitarists who use MIDI controllers to change presets on effects pedals or digital amplifiers.
-
MIDI Daisy Chains: Its low electrical resistance makes it suitable for configurations where several devices are chained together (Thru/Out), maintaining the integrity of the signal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable transmit sound?
No, this is a MIDI data cable. It transmits digital information (notes, control, clock) between devices, but it does not carry an analog audio signal.
Is it compatible with all keyboards?
Yes, it is compatible with any device that has standard 5-pin MIDI (DIN) ports, including Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Moog keyboards and modern or vintage controllers.
Are all 5 pins connected?
It complies with the professional MIDI standard. The MIDI protocol typically uses 3 of the 5 pins for data transmission, and this cable is wired to meet this industry standard, ensuring full compatibility.
