Van Damme Silver Series Session Grade Instrument Cable Low Cap 55 sold by the metre

Main Description

VAN DAMME SILVER SERIES SESSION GRADE INSTRUMENT CABLE LOW CAP 55

Sold by the metre - Please see below for price guide

The Silver Series range comprises 3 unbalanced instrument cables engineered to have three specific capacitances.

They are primarily for use for passive guitar and bass guitar to amplifier or mixer applications.

The construction of these cables utilises a no compromise approach to materials and electrical characteristics; consequently flexibility is not a priority and these cables are aimed at recording rather than live performance.

Lo-Cap 55: 55 p/F per metre. Low capacitance figure gives low high frequency roll off

PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS FOR FLAT CAP AND HIGH CAP AS FOLLOWS:

Flat-Cap 90: 90 p/F per metre. Mid range capacitance figure gives average high frequency roll off

Hi-Cap 125: 125 p/F per metre. Higher capacitance figure gives more high frequency roll off

Notes
• Within this range of cables capacitance is being used to produce different high frequency roll offs which affects the sound of the source instrument at its destination amplifier. Given the relatively low output level of a passive guitar pickup the cable can act as a high frequency roll off filter.

• The exaggerated capacitive effects of these cables are only relevant with the comparatively low output level of passive guitar pick ups – the use of high output level active pickups will reduce the difference between these three cables

• Overall capacitive effects will of course change over distance; a 10m Lo-Cap 55 cable would have a total capacitance of 550 pF as would a 4.4 metre Hi-Cap 125. Shorter lengths (up to 5 metres) are recommended for these cables but where a longer run is required a lower capacitance cable should be considered for use.

COMBINED SHIPPING:

If you are ordering from more than one of our listings, note that we can offer you reduced combined shipping ONLY if you use 'Buy it now' on all items then request a total from seller BEFORE making payment. You can find the REQUEST TOTAL FROM SELLER button at the top of your basket. We will then send you a combined shipping eBay invoice to pay. This is NOT possible if you have already paid for any of the items you are ordering.

ITALY, RUSSIA AND OTHER PROBLEM DESTINATIONS

Customers in Italy (and other problem destinations) please note that due to the high number of orders that vanish and never arrive whilst in the hands of the various postal services we will NOT send orders over £25 in total value (including postage cost) to problem destinations using standard untracked airmail. If your items total more than £25.00 please arrange to pay for tracked and signed shipping so that your order may be shipped safely and securely. If the tracked shipping option is not offered in the listing, please use the following listing to pay the extra cost of this.

Tracked & Signed supplemental charge to Italy, Russia and other problem destinations.

Please also note that orders sent to Italy and Russia may take MUCH longer than eBay's estimate to be delivered and, whilst some orders do arrive within a week or two, many orders sent to these countries are not delivered for three or perhaps even four weeks! This is entirely outside our control, as we ship within one working day and once your order is in the hands of your country's Postal service, there is nothing we can do to get it to you any faster.

Please DO NOT send messages with the title "Item not received" as these open complaint cases against us and damage our seller rating! Instead please use the general "Other" heading to ask about your delivery if several weeks have passed.

Lastly, please note that when eBay asks you "Did the item arrive on or before" their estimated delivery date, it also damages our seller rating if you answer "No", so bear in mind that we always ship within two working days, so if you answer "No" because your local postal service (especially in Italy!) has taken weeks to deliver, you are punishing us, not them!

Thank you all for your kind consideration of the above and remember that we will always do our very best to sort out any problems or questions you may have related to your order if you contact us using the "Contact Seller" and (if the choice is given) "Other" ask a question of seller options.
