Description
This is a retro style guitar and instrument lead from Citronic, built for unbalanced audio signals. The cable is wrapped in a nylon braid that keeps it from tangling and adds a layer of protection to the wiring inside. The black and red colourway gives it an old-school look while the braiding does a practical job, making it easy to coil and store between sessions.
Inside the jacket you'll find pure copper conductors with cotton reinforcement, so the cable stands up to regular handling and gigging. The outer layer is a soft-grip rubberised jacket that feels comfortable in the hand and resists kinking. Connections are machine-soldered for consistency, and the lead is fitted with two straight 6.3mm mono jack plugs, also known as 1/4 inch jacks in the US. The die-cast plug housings are solid and add to the overall durability.
At 3m long, this lead suits guitar to amp connections, keyboards, and other instrument or line-level audio runs where an unbalanced signal is used. The 6.6mm cable diameter keeps it flexible without feeling flimsy, and the copper conductor is made up of 13 strands at 0.12mm each. It's a straightforward, well-made lead that does the job without fuss, and the retro braiding gives you a bit of style alongside the practical build.
