Cordial CII 3 PP - 3 Meter Jack Instrument Cable
The Cordial CII 3 PP is a high-quality instrument cable designed for musicians who demand the utmost purity and reliability in their sound. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable is an exceptional choice for connecting electric guitars, basses, keyboards, and other instruments with a jack output, both on stage and in the recording studio. Made in Germany, Cordial is synonymous with durability and acoustic performance, and the CII 3 PP is a prime example of this philosophy.
Built around the robust Cordial CIK 122 bulk cable, this model features a 0.22 mm² oxygen-free copper (OFC) center conductor that ensures lossless signal transmission and faithful reproduction of your instrument's original tone. The bare copper spiral shielding effectively protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring a clean, quiet sound without unwanted hum, even in electrically busy environments. Its hand-soldered 6.35 mm REAN by Neutrik jack connectors with nickel contacts offer a secure connection and exceptional durability, withstanding the rigors of touring and constant rehearsals.
Main Features
-
Ideal Length: Its 3 meters in length offer an excellent balance between freedom of movement on stage or in the studio and the preservation of the signal, minimizing the loss of high frequencies.
-
REAN by Neutrik connectors: Equipped with two straight 6.35mm (PP) male jack (TS) connectors, manufactured by REAN, a Neutrik brand, which guarantee a solid connection and a long service life.
-
High Purity Conductor: The core is made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) to ensure that your instrument's tone is transmitted with maximum clarity and without coloration.
-
Superior Shielding: Effective copper spiral shielding protects the signal from external interference, providing quiet, professional performance.
-
Robust Construction: The matte PVC cover is both flexible and durable, designed to withstand the rigors of daily use, prevent tangling, and protect internal components.
-
Manual Soldering: Each connector is soldered by hand, a quality detail that ensures maximum reliability in the connections and prevents failures at the most critical moments.
Benefits for the Musician
Investing in a Cordial CII 3 PP cable means investing in peace of mind and sound quality. For guitarists and bassists, this translates into a transparent tone that respects the dynamics and character of both the instrument and the amplifier. For keyboardists and producers, it ensures that signals from synthesizers and other equipment reach the mixing console or audio interface cleanly and without degradation. Its durable construction makes it a reliable touring companion, drastically reducing the risk of technical issues during live performances. It's the perfect choice for musicians seeking professional performance without breaking the bank.
Use Cases
The versatility of the Cordial CII 3 PP makes it indispensable in a multitude of situations:
- Connecting electric guitars and basses to amplifiers.
- Link between effects pedals and amplifiers.
- Connecting electroacoustic instruments to preamplifiers or PA systems.
- I use it with keyboards, synthesizers and drum machines in live performances or in the studio.
- Ideal for home studios that require high-quality, noise-free recordings.
- Perfect as a test cable due to its reliability and ease of handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this cable suitable for an electric bass?
- Yes, it's perfectly suitable. Its construction and low capacitance make it ideal for both guitars and basses, clearly transmitting the entire frequency range, including deep bass.
- What does it mean that the connectors are REAN by Neutrik?
- REAN is a brand owned by Neutrik AG, the world leader in audio connectors. This ensures that the connectors meet high standards of quality, design, and durability, offering significantly superior performance compared to generic connectors.
- Is it a balanced or unbalanced cable?
- This is an unbalanced cable (TS or Tip-Sleeve), which is the standard for connecting instruments such as guitars and basses.
- What advantages does OFC copper conductor offer?
- Oxygen-free copper has higher conductivity than standard copper. This results in less signal degradation, especially at high frequencies, leading to a clearer, more detailed, and more faithful sound.
