Like the BF2P series the RF2P delivers a clean tone in a roadworthy package that spares you the embarrassment, time, and cost of having to make repairs to your audio system at an inopportune time due to plug failure. That's lasting value.
Expanding on the classic Bigfoot plug, the Quiet plug adds a spring loaded sleeve over the barrel. This sleeve shorts out the hot signal to ground during disconnection to prevent the embarrassing popping during instrument changes. This allows the user to hot swap instruments silently like a ninja. Once plugged in, it behaves as a 1/4" standard TS plug.
It starts with an OFC copper core for maximum conductivity. Another advantage of the copper is that if the plug is bent the copper will stretch and not break. You can straighten it, play on and replace it later. The hot solder tab is press fit and riveted for double reliability. The ground is staked to the plug sleeve so that it can never loosen and cause crackling. Finally the terminals, insulator and housing are interlocked to prevent turning and loosening.
