QUIK LOK EQLJUST-JR-4.5 - Instrument Cable PVC Straight Jack to Angled Jack 4.5 m
The QUIK LOK EQLJUST-JR-4.5 is a high-quality instrument cable from the acclaimed JUST series, designed to provide a reliable connection and pure audio signal transmission in any situation. Measuring 4.5 meters in length and featuring a straight 6.3 mm mono jack to 90° angled 6.3 mm mono jack connector configuration, this cable is the perfect choice for musicians seeking durability, performance, and a thoughtful design for everyday use, whether on stage, in the recording studio, or in the rehearsal room.
Built to withstand the demands of continuous use, the EQLJUST-JR-4.5 features high-purity copper conductors and robust spiral copper shielding that protects the signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), ensuring clean, noise-free sound. The connectors, manufactured by Quik Lok itself, have gold-plated tips to ensure superior conductivity and prevent corrosion, maintaining a perfect connection over time.
One of the distinguishing features of the JUST series is its PVC outer casing. This material not only provides excellent protection against impact and bending damage, but also has a unique texture that offers a velvety feel. This design facilitates a comfortable and secure grip, making winding and unwinding the cable quick and easy.
Main Features
-
Ideal Length: Its 4.5 meters in length offer a perfect balance between freedom of movement on stage and comfortable handling without excess cable.
-
Versatile Connectors: The combination of a straight 6.3mm mono jack connector and a 90° angled connector makes it ideal for connecting guitars, basses, and other instruments to amplifiers or pedalboards, especially in confined spaces or to avoid strain on the instrument's jack.
-
Superior Signal Quality: Thanks to its 20-strand 0.12 mm copper conductors and low electrical capacitance, the cable transmits the natural tone of your instrument linearly and faithfully.
-
Effective Shielding: The bare copper spiral shielding effectively minimizes noise and interference, allowing for a clear and powerful signal.
-
Robust Construction: The outer PVC coating with a diameter of 6.8 mm and the highly durable metal connectors are designed to withstand the wear and tear of heavy use.
-
Gold-Plated Contacts: The gold-plated terminals ensure an optimal connection and protect against oxidation, extending the cable's lifespan and maintaining sound quality.
Benefits for the Musician
The QUIK LOK EQLJUST-JR-4.5 is designed for the practical musician who doesn't want to compromise on sound quality. Its flexibility and durability make it a reliable companion for tours, gigs, and practice sessions. The straight-to-angled jack configuration is especially useful for instruments with front-facing jack outputs, such as Stratocaster-style guitars, or for pedalboards where space is limited, reducing the risk of damaging the connector.
Use Cases
This cable is perfect for a wide variety of musical applications. It's the ideal tool for connecting an electric guitar or bass to an amplifier. It's also excellent for linking instruments to effects pedals, audio interfaces, or mixing consoles. Its reliability makes it suitable for live performances as well as recording in home studios or professional studios where signal integrity is crucial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for electric bass as well as guitar?
Yes, it's perfectly suited for both electric guitar and electric bass. Its construction and specifications ensure clear transmission across the entire frequency range of both instruments.
Can the angled connector damage my instrument's input?
No, on the contrary. The angled connector is designed to reduce strain and mechanical stress on the instrument's output jack, especially if the output is on the edge or front of the body, which can help prevent long-term damage.
What does it mean that the contacts are gold-plated?
The gold plating on the contacts improves electrical conductivity and, more importantly, offers excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This ensures that the connection remains clean and reliable over time, preventing signal loss or noise due to poor contact.
