Klotz Cables PRON045PR - Professional Instrument Cable 4.5m
The Klotz PRON045PR is a high-end instrument cable designed for musicians and audio professionals seeking reliability, durability, and flawless signal transmission. Measuring 4.5 meters in length, this Pro Artist Series cable is a versatile solution for both stage and studio use. Its robust construction and premium components ensure a balanced, full, and interference-free sound, preserving the natural tone of your instrument. The combination of a straight and an angled jack connector, both manufactured by the renowned industry leader Neutrik, offers maximum flexibility for connecting guitars, basses, or keyboards to amplifiers or pedalboards, even in the tightest of spaces.
The core of this cable is made of high-purity copper (99.95% ETP) which, along with its ultra-low capacitance of only 95 pF/m , ensures lossless audio signal transmission, maintaining the clarity and dynamics of the performance. Furthermore, its double shielding, consisting of a bare copper spiral shield and a conductive plastic layer, provides superior protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI and RFI). This, combined with its low microphonic effect, results in a clean and powerful sound, free from unwanted noise. The flexible and durable PVC outer jacket, with a diameter of 6.5 mm, protects the cable's interior and prevents tangling, ensuring easy handling and a long lifespan.
Main features
-
Professional sound quality: Offers a balanced, full and round sound reproduction, ideal for any instrument.
-
Low capacitance: At only 95 pF/m, it preserves signal integrity and prevents the loss of high frequencies, maintaining a bright and clear tone.
-
Neutrik connectors: Equipped with a straight and an angled 6.35mm mono jack connector from leading manufacturer Neutrik, with nickel-plated contacts for a solid and durable connection.
-
Double shielding: A copper spiral shield and a conductive plastic layer effectively eliminate interference and noise.
-
Robust and flexible construction: The 6.5mm diameter PVC outer cover is tough and flexible, designed to withstand the demands of live and studio use.
-
Versatile length: Its 4.5 meters offer an excellent balance between freedom of movement and maintaining signal quality.
Benefits for the musician
The Klotz PRON045PR is designed for the musician who refuses to compromise on tone. Low capacitance is crucial for guitarists and bassists, as a high value can "muffle" the sound, robbing it of brightness and life. With this cable, your instrument will sound exactly as it should. The reliability of Neutrik connectors means you won't have to worry about poor connections or accidental disconnections mid-performance. The combination of straight and angled jacks offers great versatility: use the angled connector on guitars with the jack on the side (like a Stratocaster) to reduce strain on the connector and instrument, or on pedalboards where space is limited.
Use cases
-
Live performances: Its durability and noise protection make it perfect for the stage, where conditions can be unpredictable.
-
Studio recording sessions: The pure, uncolored transmission of the signal ensures that the captured sound is true to the original instrument.
-
Tests: A reliable cable for everyday use, capable of withstanding continuous use without degrading performance.
-
Pedalboard connection: The length and quality of the connectors are ideal for connecting your effects chain to the amplifier, ensuring minimal signal loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is low capacitance important in an instrument cable?
The capacitance in a cable acts as a low-pass filter, attenuating high frequencies. The higher the capacitance (and the longer the cable), the more noticeable this treble loss becomes. Low capacitance, like the 95 pF/m of this cable, ensures your tone stays bright and defined, which is especially important for instruments with passive pickups such as electric guitars and basses.
What are the advantages of the angled connector?
The 90-degree angled connector is ideal for instruments with the jack output on the edge of the body (e.g., Stratocaster or Telecaster guitars) or on the top (e.g., Gibson SG). It reduces the risk of damaging the instrument's connector or jack from a pull or impact, and allows the cable to hang more naturally and less intrusively.
Is this cable suitable for electric bass?
Yes, absolutely. The qualities that make it excellent for electric guitar, such as low capacitance and robust shielding, are equally beneficial for electric bass, ensuring the transmission of the entire frequency spectrum, from deep bass to crisp highs.
What is the microphone effect in a cable?
Microphone noise is unwanted noise generated when a cable is bumped or moved. The design and materials of the Klotz PRON045PR, including its double shielding and PVC jacket, minimize this effect, making it very quiet and suitable for performances with a lot of movement.
