PROEL ESO245LU5 - Professional Balanced Microphone Cable XLR Female to Stereo Jack (5 Meters)
Elevate the quality of your audio chain with the Proel ESO245LU5 , a microphone and balanced signal cable designed to meet the demands of professional musicians, sound engineers, and recording studios. This model belongs to Proel's prestigious connectivity series, renowned worldwide for combining robust construction with flawless signal transmission.
Sound integrity is the number one priority in any audio environment. Therefore, the ESO245LU5 is manufactured with high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, ensuring superior electrical conductivity and minimizing signal loss, even over long runs. Its balanced configuration is essential for eliminating external noise, hum, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), providing a completely silent and crystal-clear soundscape.
The strength of this cable lies in its connectors. Equipped with genuine Neutrik connectors , the gold standard in the industry, it offers unparalleled mechanical reliability. The female XLR end features a secure locking system that prevents accidental disconnections, while the 6.3 mm stereo jack (TRS) connector ensures a firm and durable connection with interfaces, mixers, and signal processors.
Main features
-
World-class Neutrik connectors: Integrates a 3-pin female XLR and a 6.3 mm TRS (Stereo) jack, made with high-strength materials and nickel-plated/silver-plated contacts to prevent corrosion.
-
Balanced Transmission: Three-conductor design (live, return, and ground) that cancels induced noise, ideal for environments with high electronic load.
-
High-purity OFC conductor: The use of oxygen-free copper ensures that all frequencies, from the deepest bass to the most subtle treble, are transmitted with total fidelity.
-
Effective shielding: Incorporates a dense shielding mesh that protects the signal against radio frequency interference (RFI) and static noise.
-
Flexible Coating: Its "Soft-touch" PVC cover is not only pleasant to the touch, but also prevents the memory effect, allowing the cable to be wound and unwound repeatedly without deformation.
Benefits for the user
Investing in the right cabling is just as important as choosing the right microphone. The Proel ESO245LU5 offers peace of mind knowing your signal will arrive at its destination intact. Its durability is exceptional; the Neutrik connectors are designed to withstand thousands of plug-and-disconnect cycles, making it a cost-effective long-term choice compared to generic cables that fail after just a few months of use.
Furthermore, its flexibility facilitates quick setup and teardown on stage or cable management at the back of studio racks, preventing annoying tangles. Being a balanced cable, it allows you to work in noisy environments without compromising the clarity of your recordings.
Use cases
-
Microphone Connection to Interfaces: Ideal for connecting dynamic microphones to balanced line inputs or patchbays in studios.
-
Equipment Interconnection (Outboard): Perfect for carrying the signal from a microphone preamp or compressor (XLR output) to the line input (TRS jack) of an audio interface or console.
-
Studio Monitors: Useful for connecting mixing consoles or controllers with XLR outputs to active monitors with balanced Jack inputs.
-
Live Sound: For sending signals from stage boxes or processors to personal amplifiers or mixers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable be used to connect a microphone to a guitar input?
This is not recommended. Guitar inputs are typically high impedance and unbalanced (mono jack). This cable is a stereo jack (balanced). While it might produce a sound, the difference in impedance and signal level will not yield optimal results. It is designed for balanced line inputs or specific microphone inputs.
Can I use it for stereo signals?
Although the connector is called a "Stereo Jack," in professional audio this cable is primarily used as a balanced mono cable . It uses all three poles to carry a single, noise-free audio signal, not two left/right audio channels.
Is it compatible with phantom power?
Physically, all three conductors allow current to flow, but caution is advised. Most TRS jack inputs on mixing consoles are line inputs and do not supply phantom power . To use condenser microphones that require phantom power, an XLR-to-XLR connection is generally needed.
