Cordial ECLBLIGHT-EDI-3PPG - 3m UV Green Jack-Jack Instrument Cable
The Cordial ECLBLIGHT-EDI-3PPG is a high-quality instrument cable designed for musicians seeking sonic reliability and a unique visual impact on stage. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable from the "Blacklight Edition" series not only guarantees pure, interference-free signal transmission but also delivers a spectacular light show thanks to its striking neon green textile sheath, which reacts and glows brightly under ultraviolet (black) light. Manufactured in Germany, this cable combines Cordial's legendary engineering with premium components to meet the demands of musicians performing live, in the recording studio, or in the rehearsal room.
At the heart of this cable is Cordial's robust and flexible CIK 122 bulk cable, renowned for its durability and excellent performance. The internal construction features a 0.22 mm² cross-section oxygen-free copper conductor, ensuring complete and detailed signal transmission, capturing every nuance of your instrument's tone. To protect this signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI), the cable incorporates double shielding consisting of a spiral copper shield and a conductive plastic layer. This combination is highly effective at eliminating unwanted noise, hum, and pops, providing a quiet background for your music. The 6.35 mm (1/4") mono jack connectors at both ends are from the reputable REAN by Neutrik brand, guaranteeing a secure, durable, and low-resistance connection for flawless signal integrity.
Main Features
-
"Blacklight" Edition: Neon green textile cover that reacts to UV light, creating a fluorescent visual effect ideal for live performances.
-
Optimal Length: Its 3-meter length offers a perfect balance between freedom of movement on stage and a short signal path to minimize losses.
-
Superior Signal Quality: Based on the Cordial CIK 122 cable, with a 0.22 mm² copper conductor that transmits the instrument's tone with total fidelity.
-
Effective Double Shielding: A spiral copper shielding along with a conductive plastic layer protects the signal against all types of external interference.
-
REAN by Neutrik connectors: Equipped with straight and robust 6.35 mm male jack connectors that ensure a reliable and long-lasting connection.
-
Low Capacitance: The capacitance of 130 pF/m preserves high frequencies, maintaining the brightness and clarity of the sound, especially important for instruments with passive pickups.
-
Robust Construction: The outer PVC cover and textile lining provide great flexibility and resistance to wear and tear from daily use.
Benefits for the Musician
The Cordial ECLBLIGHT-EDI-3PPG is designed for the modern musician who refuses to compromise. It offers the peace of mind of a solid connection and clean sound, allowing you to focus solely on your performance. The cable's low capacitance ensures that the sound from your guitar, bass, or keyboard reaches the amplifier without losing any treble or definition. Furthermore, its unique UV-reactive effect adds a distinctive visual element to your stage presence, helping you stand out and create a unique atmosphere during your performances.
Use Cases
This cable is the perfect choice for a wide range of musical applications. It's ideal for guitarists and bassists performing on stages with professional lighting, where its UV effect can be fully utilized. It's also an excellent option for keyboardists and for connecting any instrument with a line output to an amplifier, pedalboard, or audio interface. Its reliability makes it suitable for both touring and concerts, as well as studio recording sessions where signal quality is paramount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable balanced or unbalanced?
It is an unbalanced cable (TS or Tip-Sleeve), specifically designed for connecting instruments such as guitars, basses and keyboards with mono outputs.
Does the UV effect require any kind of power source?
No, the effect is passive. The fabric cover is made of a special material that reacts naturally to ultraviolet light (black light), without the need for batteries or external power.
Can I use it as a speaker cable?
No, this is an instrument cable and should not be used to connect an amplifier to a passive speaker or monitor. Using it for that purpose could damage your equipment.
Are the connectors repairable?
Yes, REAN by Neutrik connectors are high quality and can be unscrewed for repair or maintenance if necessary.
