PROEL PP2C - Locking Stereo Panel Mount Female Jack Connector (6.3mm - 1/4")
The PROEL PP2C is the ultimate solution for audio integrators and technicians seeking maximum reliability in their connections. Designed to Proel's exacting Italian engineering standards, this 6.3mm (1/4") female panel-mount jack stands out for its robust construction and locking mechanism. Unlike standard open-chassis connectors, the PP2C features an anodized aluminum body that not only provides a professional and modern aesthetic but also protects the internal components from electromagnetic interference and the physical wear and tear typical of stages and studios.
Its main strength lies in its ability to guarantee signal integrity at all times. Thanks to its TRS (Stereo/Balanced) configuration, it's versatile for all types of audio signals, from instruments to monitor sends. The design includes a latch lock system, an essential feature in professional environments that prevents accidental disconnections caused by cable pulls or strong vibrations, ensuring that the performance or recording continues without interruption.
Main features
-
Premium Construction: Made with a solid anodized aluminum casing, offering superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical impacts.
-
Latch Lock System: Integrated safety mechanism that automatically locks the male connector when inserted, releasing it only when the release tab is activated.
-
Connection Versatility: TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) configuration suitable for stereo, balanced or mono (TS) signals without loss of quality.
-
Standard Mounting: Designed to fit into standard panel holes (type D, typically 24mm), making it easy to install in racks, stage boxes, and custom panels.
-
High Conductivity Contacts: Terminals designed for precise soldering and clean signal transmission free of parasitic noise.
Product benefits
For sound engineers and installers, the PROEL PP2C eliminates the anxiety of technical glitches on stage. The secure anchoring system transforms a vulnerable connection into a solid and reliable point. Furthermore, the anodized aluminum finish not only enhances durability but also elevates the perceived quality of the equipment it's installed on, making it ideal for custom pedalboard builders or studio patchbays seeking a high-end finish. Its compatibility with the industry-standard cutout format allows for upgrading older equipment without requiring chassis modifications.
Use cases
-
Patchbays: Ideal for recording studios that require frequent and secure connections.
-
Effects pedalboards: Perfect as an "In/Out" input/output port on custom pedalboards, withstanding constant use.
-
Stage Boxes and Racks: Installation in audio interfaces, amplifiers or stage boxes where the cable may be pulled.
-
Active speakers: Replacement or improvement of input connectors in self-powered acoustic enclosures.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it compatible with mono (TS) connectors?
Yes, although it's a TRS (stereo/balanced) connector, it's fully compatible with standard 1/4" mono jacks. When you insert a mono jack, the ring and ground are automatically bridged.
-
What size hole do I need to install it?
The PP2C is designed to be installed on panels with industry-standard holes for chassis connectors (D-type format, approx. 24 mm in diameter).
-
How do you release the cable once it's connected?
The connector has a pressure tab (latch) on top. Simply press it gently to release the locking mechanism and remove the cable.
