PROEL STAGE290LU10 - Professional Audio Cable XLR Female to 6.3 mm Mono Jack (10 meters)
The Proel STAGE290LU10 is a professional-grade, pre-assembled audio cable designed to deliver maximum reliability and sound quality for stage, recording studio, and rehearsal applications. Part of Proel's acclaimed "Stage" series , this 10-meter cable addresses the common need to connect microphones or equipment with balanced (XLR) outputs to unbalanced (mono jack) inputs, such as instrument amplifiers, basic mixers, or karaoke systems, without compromising signal integrity.
Built with premium materials, this model stands out for its use of Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, guaranteeing pure, crystal-clear transmission and minimizing signal loss even over long distances. Its flexible yet robust PVC outer jacket protects the cable core from being stepped on, twisted, and subjected to the wear and tear of live use, ensuring a long lifespan.
The connectors are a strong point of this design: one end features a high-quality 3-pin female XLR connector (XLR3FVPRO style), and the other a 6.3 mm (1/4") mono jack with a metal housing and gold-plated tip. This combination not only provides a secure and durable mechanical connection, but the gold plating on the jack ensures superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, eliminating unwanted noise from poor contact.
Main features
-
High Purity OFC Conductors: The use of oxygen-free copper ensures low capacitance and faithful audio transmission, preserving the nuances of the voice or instrument.
-
Proel Professional Connectors: Equipped with robust metal connectors (XLR female and S2CPRO mono jack) designed to withstand frequent connections and disconnections.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: The Jack connector features a gold-plated tip to improve conductivity and prevent oxidation over time.
-
Versatile 10-Meter Length: Offers great freedom of movement on stage or in the studio, allowing you to connect distant equipment without the need for additional extensions.
-
Effective Shielding: Its internal structure protects the signal against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency noise (RFI), guaranteeing a quiet background.
-
Flexible Coating: The high-quality PVC cover allows the cable to be wound and unwound easily, preventing memory effect and knots.
Product benefits
Choosing the Proel STAGE290LU10 offers peace of mind. Its main benefit lies in its reliable impedance and format conversion , allowing you to use professional dynamic microphones with equipment that only has a line or instrument input (jack), a common feature in portable speakers and guitar amplifiers. Furthermore, the Stage series' robust design means you won't have to worry about sudden failures mid-performance. The high-quality shielding ensures that, despite the unbalanced connection at the jack end, noise is kept to an absolute minimum.
Use cases
-
Microphone to Amplifier Connection: Ideal for singers or lecturers who need to connect a dynamic microphone directly to a guitar, bass, or keyboard amplifier with a jack input.
-
Karaoke and Home Audio Systems: Perfect for connecting professional microphones to receivers, karaoke systems, or active speakers that lack XLR inputs.
-
Recording Studios and Home Studios: Useful for sending signals from preamps or external hardware with XLR output to interfaces or processors that require a line input jack.
-
Live Events and DJ: Quick solution for connecting DJ equipment or secondary mixing consoles to main PA systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this cable support Phantom power (48V)?
No. Because it terminates in a mono (unbalanced) jack connector, it cannot supply the phantom power required for condenser microphones. It is ideal for dynamic microphones.
-
Is it a balanced or unbalanced cable?
The cable functions as unbalanced . Although the XLR connector is balanced, when converting to a mono jack, the signal becomes unbalanced (by grounding the cold pin). This is standard for this type of adapter.
-
Does sound quality suffer when using a 10-meter range?
Thanks to the OFC construction and Proel's good shielding, signal loss is imperceptible to the human ear at this wavelength, maintaining a clear and powerful sound.
-
Can it be used to connect a guitar?
Not directly. This cable has a female XLR connector, designed for microphones or audio equipment outputs, not for a guitar's jack output (which would require a jack-to-jack cable).
