PROEL STAGE295LU5 - Professional Audio Cable Mono Jack to XLR Male (5m)
The Proel STAGE295LU5 is a 5-meter professional audio cable designed for maximum reliability on stage and in recording studios. Part of Proel's acclaimed Stage series, this model is specifically designed to interconnect equipment requiring a format transition between 6.3 mm jack connections and 3-pin XLR inputs or outputs, while maintaining signal integrity.
This cable stands out for its robust construction and ability to withstand the demands of daily use on tours and in fixed setups. Made with oxygen-free copper ( OFC ) conductors, the STAGE295LU5 guarantees pure transmission, minimizing signal loss at critical frequencies. Its connector configuration (Mono Jack to XLR Male) makes it an indispensable tool for resolving connection issues between instruments, signal processors, and mixing consoles.
Proel's Italian engineering has given this cable a highly flexible and durable PVC coating, making it easy to coil and preventing unwanted knots and memory shapes. The metal connectors of the PROEL "S" series ensure a firm connection and superior protection against electromagnetic interference, providing clean, noise-free sound.
Main features
-
High-quality connectors: Equipped with a 6.3mm Mono Jack (S2CPRO) and a 3-pin Male XLR connector (XLR3MVPRO) with shock- and wear-resistant metal housings.
-
High Purity OFC Copper: Uses oxygen-free copper conductors to ensure low capacitance and transparent audio transmission.
-
Effective shielding: Designed with a shielding structure that dramatically reduces background noise and radio frequency interference (RFI).
-
Superior flexibility: Its soft PVC outer cover allows for comfortable handling on stage, resisting moderate footsteps and pulling.
-
Versatile length: At 5 meters long, it offers the ideal distance for standard stage setups without generating unnecessary excess cabling.
Benefits for the user
Investing in the Proel STAGE295LU5 cable means ensuring the integrity of your audio system's chain. For musicians and sound engineers, this cable eliminates the need for external adapters, which are often frequent points of failure. Its robust construction offers a long lifespan, resulting in long-term savings compared to generic cables that require constant replacement. Furthermore, the quality of Proel connectors guarantees that the ports on your expensive equipment won't suffer premature wear from forced insertion.
Use cases
-
Instrument Connection to Snake/Hose: Ideal for connecting the line output (Jack) of keyboards, synthesizers or drum machines directly to the return inputs (XLR) of a stage hose (note: unbalanced signal).
-
Effects Processors: To connect outputs of pedals or multi-effects with Jack output to inputs of consoles or interfaces with XLR input.
-
Active PA Systems: Useful in specific configurations where the output of a mixing console or controller is Jack and the input of the active speaker is XLR.
-
Studio Patching: Perfect for routing signals between external hardware (outboard) equipment with different types of connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this cable suitable for connecting a microphone to a speaker?
It depends on the microphone. Most standard dynamic microphones (like an SM58) have a male XLR output and require a cable with a female XLR connector. This cable has a male XLR connector, so it wouldn't fit directly into the microphone. It's designed for instrument or line-level outputs.
-
Is it a balanced cable?
No, this cable is unbalanced due to the Mono Jack (TS) connector. The internal connection adapts the signal to allow communication between devices, but the transmission is not balanced.
-
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, Proel's Stage series connectors are detachable and allow for repairs or resoldering if necessary after years of heavy use.
-
Does the 5-meter length affect the signal when it is unbalanced?
Five meters is a safe distance for unbalanced line signals of good strength. Thanks to Proel's shielding and OFC copper, signal integrity remains optimal within this range.
