and close lapped copper ensure
noise free handling and
excellent noise rejection
making this cable ideal for on
stage use.
Applications
• Guitar cables
• Keyboard and sound module cables
• Hi-Fi interconnects
Application notes
• Low noise and high flexibility for on stage use
• Multiple colours for application or length colour
coding
• Dual thermoplastic/lapped copper screens for
excellent noise rejection
• Ultra pure oxygen free copper for outstanding
sonic integrity
