PROEL MRCA25BK - Professional Male RCA Connector with Aluminum Housing and Gold Plated Contacts
The Proel MRCA25BK is a professional-grade male RCA connector designed to ensure flawless audio signal transmission and superior durability in demanding environments. Manufactured by Proel, a leader in audio accessories, this component is the ideal choice for sound engineers, audiophiles, and technicians looking to assemble custom high-fidelity cables or perform repairs on studio and live equipment. Its robust construction combines a durable aluminum housing with a sleek black finish, offering not only mechanical protection but also effective shielding against electromagnetic interference.
Unlike standard plastic connectors, the MRCA25BK stands out for its gold-plated contacts , a critical feature that ensures optimal conductivity and prevents long-term oxidation, maintaining signal integrity without discoloration or loss. Furthermore, it incorporates a strain relief system with a flexible spring on the back, designed to protect the cable from excessive pulling and bending, significantly extending the lifespan of your connections.
Main features
-
Premium Construction: Solid aluminum casing with a matte black finish, lightweight yet extremely resistant to bumps and accidental steps.
-
High Conductivity Contacts: The center pin and ground are gold plated, ensuring pure signal transfer and resistance to environmental corrosion.
-
Cable Protection: Includes a high-quality flexible rear spring that acts as a strain relief, accommodating cables up to 6.2 mm in diameter .
-
Visual Identification: It has a black identification ring, ideal for distinguishing channels (usually left channel or mono) in complex stereo configurations.
-
Easy Assembly: Ergonomic internal design facilitates the welding process, allowing for a firm and secure attachment of the conductor and mesh.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel MRCA25BK connector immediately improves the reliability of your audio chain. Its aluminum housing acts as an additional Faraday cage at the connection point, minimizing unwanted noise. Durability is another key advantage; thanks to the protective spring, the weakest point of any cable (the junction between the cable and the connector) is reinforced, preventing internal breakage due to mechanical fatigue. Furthermore, its professional black finish provides a clean and discreet look to any cable setup, whether in a studio rack or a DJ booth.
Use cases
-
Custom cable manufacturing: Ideal for creating RCA-RCA or RCA-Jack cables of specific lengths for pedalboards, racks or home studios.
-
Repair of Hi-Fi and DJ equipment: Replacement of damaged connectors on turntables, CD players or mixing consoles.
-
Fixed installations: Connection of audio equipment in auditoriums, conference rooms or home cinema systems where reliability is non-negotiable.
-
Live environments: Use in patch bay cabling where connectors are constantly being plugged in and unplugged.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the maximum cable diameter it accepts?
This connector is designed to accommodate cables with an outer diameter of up to 6.2 mm , which covers most standard instrument and microphone cables.
-
Is soldering required to install this connector?
Yes, the Proel MRCA25BK is an aerial mounting connector that requires tin soldering to attach the center conductor and shield to the connector.
-
Does the black ring have any electrical function?
No, the black ring is purely for visual identification, helping to distinguish this connector from the right channel (which would usually have a red ring) in a stereo pair.
-
Does it work for composite video?
Yes, being a good quality RCA connector, it can be used perfectly for composite video signals (yellow connector) as long as the appropriate 75 ohm coaxial cable is used.
