It is an extremely clear, quiet, flexible cable that is built to withstand the harshest touring environments. RoHS ll compliant, 35 pF/ft, 45 ohms +/-5. This cable is used in all of our instrument and patch cables.
Speaker Cable
Instrument Cable
Instrument Cable
Our speaker cable is a dual conductor 14 gauge unshielded K class wire. Each lead is 41 strands, PVC insulated and completed with pressure extruded TPE. This speaker cable has amazing strength and durability for the harshest environments while remaining extremely flexible. RoHS ll compliant and rated at 300 volts Max RMS. Our speaker cable is built for high fidelity applications just as our microphone and instrument cables are so that you hear the music as it should be heard.
Microphone Cable
Instrument Cable
Microphone Cable
Our microphone cable is a 20 gauge Class M low capacitance cable with 26 strands of polyethylene insulated copper in each lead. It has 95% spiral shielding, and a PVC outer cover. Our mic cable also contains a 22 gauge-19 strand cable drain running within the spiral shielding. All of the copper wire is tinned, flexible, extremely strong cable for all environments.

Microphone Cable
We only use Amphenol® Professional Series connectors on all of our music cables. Amphenol® is a world leading manufacturer of industrial/audio/visual connectors. The Pro-Series connectors have a continuous machined tip to ensure the best connectivity and are rated for 10,000 plug-ins. Amphenol connectors also have a patented "Jaws" cable-clamp to prevent premature failure from the stresses of accidental pulling of the cable.
All standard connectors have nickel plated contacts. Available uprgades are gold plating, right angles, and the amazing SwitchPlug. The SwitchPlug allows you to change instruments without harming your amp from a typical live cable.
Cable Armor
Connectors/Ends
Cable Armor
Our Cable Armor is available in many colors/patterns, and is not just for looks! We specifically use TechFlex® Flexo® PET braided sleeving on all of our music cables to add an additional layer of protection against kinking, crushing, and abrasion that happens even in the best of environments. The smooth surface also enables smooth coiling when unwinding and packing up. Your color choices of Cable Armor and heat shrink provide instant identification so that you never wind up with the wrong cables when leaving practice or a gig.
Heat Shrink
Connectors/Ends
Cable Armor
We use Kable Kontrol™ 2:1 cross-linked polyolifin heat shrink. This is a durable, flexible, thin-walled heat shrink that provides additional strain relief and additional protection at the most critical areas of your music cable. It is RoHS compliant, chemical/heat resistant, and rated for use up to 600 volts. It meets UL, CSA and MIL specs and comes in 10 different colors. Monkey Wires offers the largest selection of color combinations worldwide for music cables with your choice of heat shrink and Cable Armor.
