Cordial ECLEI3PP - 3 meter Jack to Jack Instrument Cable
The Cordial ECLEI3PP, part of the acclaimed Elements series, is an instrument cable designed to offer reliability and clear signal transmission to musicians seeking top quality on a budget. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable is the perfect choice for connecting electric guitars, basses, or keyboards to amplifiers or pedalboards, whether in the rehearsal space, at home, or for small live gigs. Its robust construction and quality components ensure consistent, long-lasting performance.
Manufactured to Cordial's strict quality standards, the ECLEI3PP uses a bare copper conductor with a cross-section of 0.22 mm², ensuring unadulterated and pure signal transfer. One of its strongest features is its double-shielding system, which combines a copper spiral shield with a conductive plastic layer. This technology effectively protects the signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), resulting in clean, noise-free sound, even in environments with multiple electronic devices.
Main features
-
Ideal Length of 3 Meters: Provides the necessary flexibility to move comfortably on stage, in the studio or rehearsal room, without the excess cable that can cause tangles and signal degradation.
-
6.3 mm TS Jack Connectors: Equipped with two robust and reliable 6.3 mm male connectors (mono, unbalanced). Their nickel-plated contacts ensure a solid connection and excellent conductivity.
-
Conductor Construction: The central cable is composed of 28 copper wires of 0.10 mm each, which gives it great flexibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue.
-
Superior Double Shielding: The combination of a copper spiral shield and conductive plastic provides exceptional protection against noise and interference, maintaining the purity of your tone.
-
Flexible PVC Coating: The outer PVC cover is not only resistant to daily wear and tear, but is also very flexible, making it easy to roll up and store without forming knots or permanent creases.
-
Low Capacitance: With a capacitance of less than 85 pF/m, this cable preserves the high frequencies of your instrument, preventing loss of brightness and clarity in the sound.
Benefits for the musician
The Cordial ECLEI3PP is designed for the practical musician who doesn't want to compromise on their sound. Its main benefit is the peace of mind that comes with a reliable cable that won't introduce noise or fail at the worst possible moment. The Cordial elements series has been developed to offer a durable, high-performance solution at an affordable price, allowing guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists to focus on their music. The quality of its shielding ensures that your instrument's characteristic tone reaches the amplifier intact, with all its dynamics and harmonic richness.
Use cases
This cable is extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. It's ideal for home practice, where its 3-meter length is more than sufficient. It's also an excellent choice for band rehearsals, home studio recordings, and performances on small to medium-sized stages. Its robust construction makes it suitable for continuous use, withstanding the rigors of transport and frequent setup and teardown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for electric bass guitars?
Yes, it's perfectly suited for electric basses. Its construction and low capacitance help transmit the full range of bass frequencies without audible loss.
Are the connectors from a well-known brand like Neutrik or Rean?
This model uses robust connectors designed by Cordial with nickel-plated contacts. Although not from the Neutrik/Rean brand, they are manufactured to offer great durability and a reliable connection, while keeping the product price affordable.
What does it mean that the shielding is double?
This means the cable has two layers of interference protection: a shield of spirally wound copper wires and an additional layer of conductive plastic. Together, they effectively minimize electrical noise, resulting in cleaner sound.
Is it a balanced or unbalanced cable?
It is an unbalanced cable (TS or Tip-Sleeve), which is the standard for connecting instruments such as guitars and basses to amplifiers or effects pedals.
