PROEL ESO235LU1 - Esoteric Series Professional Audio Cable (Mono Jack to XLR Male, 1m)
The PROEL ESO235LU1 represents excellence in professional audio connectivity, belonging to the acclaimed Esoteric series from the Italian brand. This 1-meter unbalanced professional insert cable has been meticulously designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who demand nothing less than the utmost purity in signal transmission. Unlike standard cables, the Esoteric series is manufactured to the most rigorous standards, guaranteeing absolute sonic integrity in critical situations, whether in a high-end recording studio or on the most demanding stage.
The key to its superior performance lies in the combination of world-class components. This model assembles a high-quality conductor with genuine Neutrik® connectors, recognized globally as the gold standard in the industry for their robustness and reliability. The Mono Jack (6.3 mm) to XLR Male (3-pin) configuration allows for crystal-clear unbalanced connections, eliminating unwanted noise and ensuring that the original character of your instrument or audio equipment remains intact.
In addition to its electrical quality, the PROEL ESO235LU1 stands out for its physical construction. It uses the acclaimed HPC250 cable, which features a flexible yet extremely durable PVC jacket resistant to wear, footsteps, and constant twisting. Its effective shielding protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), a common problem in environments with numerous electronic devices. It is the ultimate solution for those seeking extreme durability and a flat, dynamic frequency response.
Main features
-
Genuine Neutrik® Connectors: Equipped with an NP2X Mono Jack and an NC3MXX Male XLR, both with nickel-plated/silver-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
-
HPC250 Coaxial Cable: An oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor that guarantees smooth signal transmission, with deep bass and defined treble.
-
High Density Shielding: Offers superior protection against external noise and hum, ideal for electrically noisy environments.
-
Flexibility and Resistance: Its outer cover is formulated to withstand intensive use on tours without losing its flexibility or creating "memory effect" (vices in the cable).
-
Precision Welding: Assembled using techniques that ensure a perfect mechanical and electrical bond between the cable and the connector.
Product benefits
-
Professional Reliability: Eliminates the risk of connection failures or unexpected noises ("clicks" and "pops") during a live performance or a perfect recording session.
-
Long-Term Durability: Thanks to Neutrik connectors and a reinforced jacket, this cable is an investment that stands the test of time much better than cheaper alternatives.
-
Pure Sound Quality: By using high-purity OFC copper, the signal travels without coloration, preserving the natural tone of your analog equipment.
-
Connection Versatility: Solves interconnection problems between equipment with instrument outputs (Jack) and mic/line inputs (XLR) safely and efficiently.
Use cases
-
Connecting Instruments to PA Equipment: Ideal for connecting keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines with unbalanced output (Jack) directly to DI boxes or XLR inputs of mixers (checking levels).
-
Studio Equipment Interconnection: Perfect for connecting preamps, effects processors or compressors that require high-fidelity patch cables over short distances.
-
Hi-Fi and DJ Audio Systems: Useful for connecting outputs from DJ mixers or controllers to amplification systems with XLR inputs.
-
Effects Rack: Ideal for clean and tidy internal wiring of signal processing racks where quality is non-negotiable.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable convert a balanced signal to an unbalanced signal?
Yes, it physically connects an unbalanced circuit (TS Mono Jack) to an XLR connector. It's ideal for connecting unbalanced sources to XLR inputs, but keep in mind that the signal transmission will be unbalanced.
-
Are the connectors really genuine Neutrik?
Yes, the Proel Esoteric series is distinguished by exclusively using original connectors from the Neutrik brand (Liechtenstein), not copies or generic versions.
-
What is the purpose of a length of 1 meter?
This length is perfect for "patching" (short connections between equipment in a rack or studio) or for connecting an instrument to a nearby pedalboard or direct box, avoiding the excess of coiled cable that can pick up noise and attenuate the signal.
-
Is the cable oxygen-free (OFC)?
Indeed, the core of the HPC250 cable used is made of Oxygen-Free Copper, which improves conductivity and delays internal oxidation of the cable.
