PROEL STAGE290LU5 - Professional Microphone Cable XLR Female to 6.3mm Mono Jack (5 meters)
The Proel STAGE290LU5 is a professional microphone cable belonging to Proel's acclaimed Stage Innovation series. Designed by Italian engineers to meet the demands of musicians and technicians requiring a reliable, noise-free connection, this cable solves one of the most common problems in live audio: connecting standard microphones to unbalanced 6.3 mm (jack) inputs.
Unlike generic cables, the STAGE290LU5 doesn't compromise on signal quality. It's built using the industry-renowned, low-noise HPC210BK cable, famous for its flexibility and ability to maintain audio integrity. Its 5-meter length provides the versatility needed to move freely around small stages, rehearsal rooms, or DJ setups, without the excess cabling that often gets tangled.
The robust construction includes Proel's proprietary metal connectors, ensuring the cable can withstand the constant abuse of setup and teardown, accidental tugs, and the usual wear and tear of touring. It's the ultimate solution for connecting your dynamic microphone to amplifiers, DJ mixers, or karaoke systems that lack XLR inputs.
Main features
-
Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Conductors: The cable core uses high-purity copper (OFC) with a cross-section of 0.22 mm², ensuring optimal signal transmission and minimizing long-term oxidation.
-
Proel "Stage Series" Connectors: Equipped with a female XLR connector (model XLR3FVPRO) and a 6.3 mm Mono Jack (model S2CPROBK) with impact-resistant metal housing.
-
Gold-Plated Jack Tip: The jack connector features a gold-plated tip to improve electrical conductivity and prevent corrosion at the most critical contact point.
-
Effective Shielding: Thanks to its internal shielding, the cable drastically reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (RFI/EMI), delivering a clean sound.
-
Soft-Grip PVC Cover: Its outer coating is extremely flexible and soft to the touch, making it easy to coil and preventing the "memory effect" (the cable becoming distorted with strange shapes).
Product benefits
-
Professional Durability: By using metal housings instead of injected plastic, the connectors protect the internal solder joints against frequent bumps and stomps on stage.
-
Clean Signal on Unbalanced Connections: Although the mono jack connection is inherently unbalanced, the quality of the HPC210 base cable helps to keep background noise to a minimum in this type of adaptation.
-
Movement Versatility: 5 meters is the ideal standard measurement ("Golden Standard") for vocalists, offering sufficient range without losing signal due to excessive distances.
-
Aesthetics and Functionality: Its matte black design and ergonomic finishes offer a professional and discreet appearance in any stage configuration.
Use cases
-
Portable Karaoke and PA Systems: Ideal for connecting professional microphones to karaoke machines or active speakers that only have a 1/4" jack microphone input.
-
Instruments and Amplifiers: Useful for connecting microphones to instrument inputs (High-Z) or guitar amplifiers for creative voice or harmonica effects.
-
DJ setups: Connecting presenter microphones to two-channel DJ mixers that frequently use Jack microphone inputs.
-
Home Studio: Quick connection of microphones to older audio interfaces or effects pedals that do not have an XLR input.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for condenser microphones?
Generally not. Condenser microphones typically require phantom power (+48V), which is not transmitted through mono jack connectors. This cable is ideal for dynamic microphones.
-
Is it a balanced cable?
No. Although the internal cable has the capability to function as a balanced cable, the connector configuration (XLR to Mono Jack) makes it an unbalanced (TS) cable. It is specifically designed to connect a balanced source (microphone) to an unbalanced input.
-
Is the tip of the jack stereo or mono?
It is a 6.3 mm Mono Jack (TS - Tip/Sleeve) connector, designed to carry a single audio signal, which is standard for microphone inputs of this type.
-
Can it be used to connect an instrument to a table?
Technically, the jack connector fits into a guitar, but the female XLR end is not compatible with most instrument outputs. It is designed for signal flow from a microphone (XLR) to a device (jack).
