String artists...Will take pleasure in this cable. The Tricone® MKII is a flexible cable for guitar and keyboard and equally interesting for the gigging musician, studio keyboarder and home recordist. Due to its decent wire cross-section of 0,22 mm² and the fine, tin-plated single wires of 0.10 mm it's immune to cable breakage and convinces by high bending cycles. It's very robust, easy to drum and also surprisingly inexpensive. When assembling, make sure to remove the conductive shield (black PVC tube) on the insulation so that it makes no contact with the inner conductor.Tricone® MKII is a protected and registered trademark of Sommer cable GmbH.Advantages:Very robust due to the large wire cross-section and fine Cu single wiresGood electrical values due to the Skin PE insulation100 % protection by dual shielding (helical copper mesh screen + conductive carbon screen)High number of bending cyclesApplication:Dependable cable for live applications (guitar and keyboard)Economy-priced Line-in or Patchcable for the Homerecorder

Our endurance test champion...in our ranks is called SC-Spirit XXL. This high-end guitar cable has been one of our most successful products over the past few years and enjoys absolute cult status among guitarists and bass players. Owing to its excellent price/performance ratio, it turned out as a multiple test winner in the German and international specialized press. The cable is robust and yet flexible, and its smoke-colored jacket gives it a high recognition value. The shielding is exemplary: its braid with 95 % coverage and the thick carbon screen (100 %) protect it from interferences. A special lacquer gives the lavishly foamed PE insulation an extreme durability and guarantees excellent transmission properties for many years to come. The wire cross-section of 0,75 mm² ensures a high signal level even over long distances. Our customers describe the sound of the SC-Spirit XXL as crystal clear, clean, very neutral, and it outstandingly reproduces the verve of bass attacks. CAUTION: The black carbon screen under the braided shield and on the insulation has a high conductance. Therefore it should by all means be removed when soldering!Advantages:Enormously powerful and clear sound image with bass, guitar and keyboardDual shielding by a combination of a copper mesh screen plus conductivecarbon screenLow-loss transmission due to low capacitance and large wire gaugeVery flexible and easy to reel because of its fine single litz designExtremely durable and sturdy due to a special high-quality PVC jacket compoundApplication:High quality guitar and bass cable for studio and stageUnbalanced cable for keyboards, samplers, mixing desks etc.Connection lead for CD/DVD/BluRay player/recorder

Making the impossible come true…when dealing with a new guitar cable, this involves creating an extremely low capacitance together with a breathtaking flexibility. Developing an insulation which ensures super low values by means of a gas-injected foaming – this is not an easy job, but well within the bounds of possibility for a professional cable maker. However, protecting this fragile insulation also against motion, creasing or twisting, is indeed a true challenge. With the SC-SPIRIT LLX "LOW LOSS" we have fallen back on the same insulation design as it is used in professional HD-SD video cables. For extra stability of the inner construction we use an optimised concentrical litz stranding and a special insulation curing on the surface. For the outer jacket we have applied a rubberlike soft PVC jacket, which is highly flexible, extremely compact, stretches hardly and protects the whole inner structure from exterior influences. Due to its low capacitance and its very special construction the SC-SPIRIT LLX "LOW LOSS" is one of the world’s ultra-low loss guitar cables.With DIY assembly please watch out that the black carbon screen (sitting on the white insulation) is conductive and must therefore be removed to avoid ground contact with the inner conductor.Advantages:Extremely low capacitance valuesRobust, twist-proof and easy to reelLow-loss, detailed and neutral transmission propertiesDouble shielding by Cu mesh plus conductive carbon screenApplication:Highly flexible cable for the demanding studio and live guitaristHigh-quality patch cabling in the professional studio technologyHigh-end cable for the live DJ

Inconspicuous and yet so important...are these little helpers which nowadays are built into almost every electric appliance. In colloquial speech these small shielded instrument cables are also called “diode cables“ and they are, sort of, the no-frills version of instrument cables like those used e.g. in professional audio technology. Because of their mobile use, instrument cables for guitars mostly feature a double shielding of a spiral braid plus a carbon screen, while the diode cable only has a simple spiral screen made of copper. The simple mesh screen will do if the cable is not hauled around or even permanently installed in electric components. In the audio sector diode cables are used as leads for hifi components or as low-budget keyboard cables, whereas in the electrical sector we see an incredible range of possible applications. The SC-Onyx Tynee is especially popular with designers, manufacturers and electronics hobbyists because it has a tight wire stranding, a high copper quality (OFC class 6) and a very durable jacket compound.Advantages:Very flexible because of its fine single litz designSmall jacket diameter, ensuring easy handling with RCA and jack connectorsDurable jacket compound and oxygen-free copper (OFC class 6)Application:Cabling of unbalanced devices (keyboards)Connection lead for hifi componentsAssembly of Y-adapter cableAssembly of insert cableFor the interior wiring of electrical appliances

Like a lasso...By the guitarists tossing the cables around. That's why this of all cables must be particularly tread resistant and have an elaborate construction. At first musicians tend to spend big money until they finally have to realize exasperatedly that the newly purchased low-cost cable may at best be used as an average short-wave receiver or even brings the overall sound image of the high-priced instrument to crumble. We have refrained from cheapo products and offer a top-quality cable at a fair price. The SC-Spirit has a thick insulation between wire and screen. This improves the capacitive values and ensures a loss-free reproduction of the highs even with longer cables. To avoid crackling and hum interferences, we use a special conductive carbon screen and a braided Cu shield. Please make sure when soldering that the carbon screen does not make any contact with the inner conductor. Your audience will be amazed at the sound of this cable!Advantages:Incredibly punchy and clear sound with bass, guitar and keyboard due to ourspecial litz stranding and a wire cross-section of 0,50 mm²Dual shielding by a combination of a copper mesh screen plus conductivecarbon screenLow-loss transmission due to low capacitanceVery flexible and easy to reel because of its fine single litz designExtremely durable and sturdy due to a special high-quality PVC jacket compoundStrain relief and good sleeve support due to thick PVC jacketApplication:High-quality guitar cable for studio and stageUnbalanced cable for keyboards, samplers, mixing desks etc.Connection lead for CD/DVD player/recorder

The twin cable...is similar in design and quality to the TRICONE MKII, but a little thinner due to the twin construction.

Those die-hard...Collectors of vintage guitar technology. For these oldtimer freaks there is now also the right cable on offer. The SC-Classique looks at least visually old, but features a new and fresh technology. The core is an inner wire with a cross-section of 0,50 mm² that consists of 28 fine Cu single wires to ensure an untroubled musical pleasure even with lengths above 20 m (65.6 ft.), which is often regarded as a problematic length among musicians obsessed with detail. The cable is rounded off by a thick insulation of a foamed and lacquered PE plus a tight, tin-plated Cu braid. A conspicuous feature is, of course, the extra textile fabric which gives the SC-Classique the necessary vintage flair. And it also sounds like a cable from the 1960s: the SC-Classique impresses with a lot of warmth, fat sound and crystal clear highs.Advantages:Warm and fat “sixties” soundRobust vintage style textile jacketVery low capacitance and dual shielding (Cu mesh screen + semiconductor)Easy to reelApplication:High-end guitar and instrument cable with vintage sound and stylingUnbalanced cable for stage and studio

You can't have everything ...in life you want. Well, almost. Many enthusiastic buyers of our super robust SC-Spirit XXL guitar and instrument cable asked for a slightly more compact version of this legendary cable which should also fit into connectors with a smaller cable entry like e.g. angled jack plugs for stomp boxes, or RCA connectors. Yet the SC-SPIRIT XS is not just a slimmed version of the SPIRIT XXL, but a cable adapted to the conditions with a reduced outer diameter of 5.8 mm (0.23 in.). The large wire cross-section of 0.75 mm² (0.001 sq in.) and the gas-injected insulation result in a low capacitance of 76 pF.Advantages:Enormously powerful and clear sound image with bass, guitar and keyboardDual shielding by a combination of a copper mesh screen plus conductivecarbon screenLow-loss transmission despite compact external dimensionsVery flexible and easy to reel because of its fine single litz designExtremely durable and sturdy due to a special high-quality PVC jacket compoundApplication:Compact guitar and bass cable for studio and stageUnbalanced cable for floor effects, keyboards, samplers, mixing desks etc.

Self-respecting musicians …Is going to rock with one of the most interesting guitar cables ever made. This soft, highly flexible and visually very attractive guitar cable impresses by its outer and inner values. It's surrounded by a velvety, semi-transparent and 7,20 mm thick BLACK ZILK jacket that glides over the floor as lightly as a feather. We use concentrically stranded wires of oxygen-free class N6 Chile copper (OFC 99.9999%) and a GAS-injected PE insulation which guarantees a low-loss, neutral transmission. The standing angle of the shield covering has been chosen very clever to ensure that the overlying kink protection will have almost no friction points at the connector and that the cable is very durable. Please bear in mind with DIY assembly that the black carbon screen (on the white insulation) is conductive and therefore must be removed so as not to make any ground contact with the inner conductor.Advantages:Semi-transparent soft jacket design ensures a high number of bending cyclesGorgeous velvet look with soft touch feelingDual shielding by flat helical Cu mesh and carbon semiconductorHigh bending cyclesZero-twist windingApplication:High-end guitar cable for pure transmission even over longer distancesPerfect for the unbalanced studio cabling

Life in the wilderness...is hard and merciless. SOMMER CABLE has developed the Colonel Incredible especially for this purpose! It is sturdy, flexible, strong and olive-green! This lets you and your cable adapt to the environment just perfectly, and thanks to the military colour you can leave the place of disgrace furtively after a bad gig.But seriously - the Colonel Incredible from our “OFFROAD SERIES“ is a respectable cable with a very well-balanced sound image an a wonderfully smooth frequency response. The high-end guitar cable features a technically optimised two-wire design. The first wire consists of concentrically stranded, silver-plated litz and is shielded by a dense copper mesh screen. Furthermore, a second earth wire with red insulation has been braided in which needs to be soldered to mesh screen of the first wire.Caution: To avoid impact noise, the soldering must be made according to this scheme.The Colonel Incredible is recommended for both ambitious studio musicians and live musicians. Many professional musicians describe the sound image as verypunchy, clean and well-defined.Advantages:Very robust due to the large wire cross-section and fine Cu single wiresGood electrical values due to dual-wire constructionApplication:A reliable cable for live and studio applications (guitar and keyboard)

Balanced or unbalanced...that is the question – or rather it isn’t, for with our TRICONE SYMASYM you’ve got both! Notably our axe players wanted to have a cable for the trendy piezo/electric guitars which could perfectly transmit the embosomed full crunch and also the true acoustic sound. This opens up new sound options within a song. And since we are passionate musicians ourselves, we immediately buckled down to develop a cable with a round PVC jacket (IEC 60332-1) combining the proven TRICONE ® and the compact, balanced CICADA.By the way, this cable can also carry the instrument signal and the IN-EAR monitoring signal in one line. We see no limits for other application possibilities.Advantages:Unbalanced instrument line plus balanced audio line in one cableFlexible round jacket for tough use on stageEasy handling owing to 2-in-1 conceptApplication:Instrument + In-ear system over one cableGuitars with electric/piezo multi-pickup system (standard magnetic pickups + bridge piezo)

When opinions differ …… then silver-plated audio cables are a popular topic for discussion. From a purely technical point of view, this precious metal has the best electrical conductivity of all metals. As far as the sonic impression is concerned, opinions on sense and nonsense of such cables often differ greatly. Here we try to shed a light into the darkness. Those different opinions are because silver, due to natural oxidation, is “alive“. Unlike copper oxyde, silver oxyde is conductive, i.e. its electrical and mechanical properties can vary slightly over a longer period of time. This also causes the tone color to change, which is why we may observe different audiophile impressions and some musicians or hi-fi enthusiasts perceive the sound of a silver cable as rather neutral, cool, or treble-prone. Of course, we want to avoid such irritations and discussions and therefore use only tightly, concentrically stranded class 6N (OFC 99. 9999%) copper wires for the SC-SILVER SPIRIT which are then refined and smoothed with the ultimate grade silver alloy (935/1000) so they will deliver lasting performance and can be processed also with silver solder neatly and without electrical losses. The SC-SILVER SPIRIT is fitted with the most advanced gas-injected and smoothed wire insulation.Advantages:Incredibly clear, clean sound imagePermanently neutral transmission, even after frequent useFlexible and robust outer jacket of temperature resistant PVC compoundDouble shielding provided by a tight braid plus carbon semiconductorMiscellaneous:CAUTION: The black carbon screen under the braided shield and on the insulation has a high conductance.
