Unbalanced/Mono, Instrument Cable, Black

1 Core and Screen, Copper Wire Core, Copper Wire Screen

Van Damme Pro Grade Classic XKE Instrument is our standard Guitar / Instrument cable. It offers an excellent tonal quality with the high frequencies being bright and shiny and low frequencies round and warm. It is also a very elegant cable. The thermoplastic outer screen coupled with the close lapped oxygen free copper wire inner screen, ensure excellent noise rejection and durability. Ideal for on stage use with all instruments; guitars, keyboards and other unbalanced output devices

1 Core & Screen relates to the amount of carrier signals inside the cable, in this case two. This is an unbalanced/mono cable. The first carrier signal is the information signal and the second is the ground/shield.

Limits of Responsibility
We accept no responsibility for damage to equipment incurred during operation or use of our products where an item has been improperly used. Please contact our Technical Team for advice prior to ordering if you are unsure about your requirements. Our technical advice is insured by a £4million public liability insurance

All of our manufactured products are electrically tested before dispatch. We pressure test for short circuit, continuity and insulation resistance. Due to the nature and complexity of what we do there was no single tester available on the market to accommodate all of our needs so we decided to build all of our own testing equipment! Our testers go way and beyond what is normally offered, ensuring quality of sound and reliability

All AC mains products conform to BS 7671 wiring regulations and are tested by qualified technicians trained to City & Guilds 2377 standards

We take waste and our impact on the environment very seriously. All of our plastic and cardboard waste is separated and collected on a monthly basis. Empty cable reels are returned to suppliers to be re-used and we even go as far as having a compost bin in our kitchen. We try to keep packaging to a minimum and try to re-use packaging materials where possible, so please do not be upset if your order arrives in a second-hand box! Please keep your bubble wrap for Christmas and re-use boxes where you can. If you wish to return unwanted cable and connectors then please do so, we are happy to recycle them on your behalf
