50m x Van Damme Silver Series Session Grade Instrument Cable Low Cap 55

The Silver Series range comprises 3 unbalanced instrument cables engineered to have three specific capacitances. They are primarily for use for guitar and bass guitar to amplifier 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. The range comprises the following cables:

• Lo-Cap 55: 55 p/F per metre. Low capacitance figure gives low high frequency roll off
• 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 pickups – 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.
• Secondary screen is a conductive thermoplastic – ensure it is stripped back from the centre conductor when terminating 
• 268-900-055 Lo Cap requires an oversize mono jack connector e.g. Neutrik NP2XL, Switchcraft 188
