This listing is for 1
pair (2 cables total) of Monster Cable Prolink Studio Pro 1000. Choose length, .5, 1, 1.5 or 2 meter with any combination of
ends, XLR Male, XLR Female, TRS Male, 1/4” (TS) Male or RCA. Mix and
match whatever you need. All ends are Neutrik except RCAs which are GLS Audio
(non-locking) or Nakamichi (locking). Cables are directional. All connections
soldered with Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder. Purchase cable by length and send me a message detailing items below.
You can copy and paste then choose answers:
-If specifying RCAs, I will build with the Nakamichi ends unless you request the GLS. The Nakamichi work better with this thick of a cable and locks.
Message ahead of time if you’re not sure of your cable configuration. Let me know the equipment you are connecting to / from.
If looking for strictly
RCA to RCA, check my other listings, they are less expensive and I have a few
options.
Give me a few days
to put these together. This is a hobby of mine, not a business. It’s just me
putting them together, not a sweatshop abroad.
The Studio Pro 1000 is the professional version of the M1000i cable. I
have included reference specs from Monster Cable that shows the construction of
both the Pro 1000 and the M1000i. I have also included pictures of both an
M1000i and Pro 1000 cable, side by side, cut and stripped at various stages, to
verify that they are almost the same. Or, you could do like I did and just call
Monster Tech support to ask them! They told me the Pro 1000 was a better cable.
But, I went ahead and cut up some cables just to see for myself.
From the pictures of the cables being cut:
-The Pro 1000 advertises 97% copper shield coverage vs. 95% on the M1000i.
-The diameter of the shield on the Pro 1000 is larger and further away from the conductors than on the M1000i.
-There is an additional layer of dielectric insulation between the conductors and shield on the Pro 1000 that is not present on the M1000i.
-Both have the multi-gauge, 3 Way Time Corrected Windings. If you look at the pictures, it looks like the Pro 1000 has the same gauge strands for the high and mid windings. This is not the case. The M1000i has stranded wires side by side for the high windings, the Pro 1000 has the same gauge strands but they are twisted together into several "bundles" which in turn are then twisted around each other giving the impression the windings are thicker gauge wire.
-Both cables are directional and have signal flow arrows on the cables. Both have the shield soldered at the source end and lifted at the other end.
-Both cables are the same diameter. Both seem to have the same "flex" quality. Neither seems to be stiffer.
