PROEL ESO235LU3 - Professional Interconnect Cable Mono Jack to XLR Male with Neutrik Connectors (3m)
The Proel ESO235LU3 represents excellence in professional audio cabling, belonging to the brand's prestigious "Esoteric" series. This unbalanced interconnect cable has been meticulously designed for musicians, sound engineers, and technicians who cannot afford any signal transmission failures. Unlike standard ranges, the ESO series is distinguished by its integration of world-class components, guaranteeing superior audio integrity in recording studios and demanding stages.
The ESO235LU3 is built for its robustness and reliability. Its core uses high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, minimizing signal loss and drastically reducing background noise and electromagnetic interference. At 3 meters long, it offers the flexibility needed for rack configurations, direct connections in DJ booths, or studio patching, without compromising sound quality due to excessive cable length.
The strength of this model lies in its connectors. Proel has equipped this cable with genuine Neutrik® connectors : a 6.3 mm mono jack (model NP2X) on one end and a 3-pin male XLR connector (model NC3MXX) on the other. This combination ensures a perfect mechanical fit, corrosion resistance, and extreme durability against the constant connections and disconnections of daily professional use.
Main features
-
Original Neutrik Connectors: Equipped with the NP2X (Jack) and NC3MXX (XLR) models, the gold standard in the industry for reliability and robust metal housing.
-
Pure OFC Transmission: Oxygen-free copper conductors that guarantee a clean, dynamic, and color-free signal.
-
"Esoteric" Construction: Part of Proel's high-end range, designed to offer the lowest possible capacitance and resistance in unbalanced cables.
-
Flexible Sheath: PVC/NBR outer cover that offers a soft touch, prevents tangling and protects internal conductors against stomping or twisting.
-
Precision Welding: Assembled under strict quality controls to ensure firm joints and free from parasitic noise from movement.
Benefits for the user
Investing in the Proel ESO235LU3 cable means securing the audio chain at its most critical point. For musicians and sound engineers, this translates into complete peace of mind during live performances, knowing that the connectors won't fail or generate unexpected ground noise due to poor connections. The quality of the materials ensures a long lifespan, making it a cost-effective long-term investment compared to cheaper cables that require frequent replacement.
Use cases
-
Instrument to Line Connection: Ideal for connecting instrument outputs (such as keyboards or synthesizers with Jack output) to mixer or preamp inputs with XLR input (note: the signal remains unbalanced).
-
Effects and Processor Racks: Perfect for patching external equipment in professional studios where physical conversion of connector formats is required.
-
DJ and PA systems: Useful for connecting outputs from DJ controllers or mixers to amplification systems or active monitors that require XLR input.
-
Fixed Installations: Its durability makes it ideal for permanent wiring in auditoriums, conference rooms or radio studios.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable convert an unbalanced signal to a balanced one?
No, this is an unbalanced adapter cable. Although it has an XLR connector, the signal travels unbalanced (one live wire and one ground wire). It's used to connect devices with different ports, not to electronically balance the signal.
Are the connectors really Neutrik or Neutrik type?
The ESO235LU3 model uses genuine Neutrik connectors (Liechtenstein), recognizable for their superior build quality and durability; they are not imitations or secondary brands.
Is the cable noisy when you move it?
Thanks to its high-quality shielding and flexible PVC cover, the cable has excellent rejection of microphonic noise (mechanical noise when stepping on or moving the cable).
