The 'Tone Defender' Harp Mic Cable - 20' w/ BLACK Canare Quad wireVisit my auctions for vintage microphones & related items... Custom fabricated harp mic's & cables offered via ebay Buy-It-Now.Meticulously hand crafted, incredibly durable! Also available Blue , Violet and Red .Note: There was a BIG increase in USPS shipping rates during Jan 2016. I only charge enough to cover postage, packaging costs and Ebay fees.This is one tough cable, the screw fitting end alone undergoes my proprietary 55 step assembly process.The real deal! Individually hand crafted using high end Canare L-4E6S Quad Core OFC microphone wire, silicone injected Switchcraft components, silver solder, multiple layers of expensive double wall self adhesive heat shrink tubing + several exclusive premium features.Often shipped same/next day as payment arrives. Max shipping wait is 5 days if I need to fabricate one to fill your order. The only exception is if I'm traveling for a gig or vacation, please contact me before purchasing if your order is time sensitive!Ever wonder why your rig is sometimes quiet and sometimes has more hum? Or why your signal sometimes cuts out or crackles? Aside from issues with incoming power, or problems inside your mic or amp, these things are usually traceable to a damaged or poorly designed cable... a Tone Defender properly addressed these common problems.The quad core wire in a Tone Defender offers superior shielding against RF (radio frequency) and EM (electro-magnetic) interference, especially when compared to typical twisted pair mic cables or center conductor 'instrument cable'. This high level of shielding offers real world benefits when on stage surrounded by neon signs, wireless mic transmitters, lighting controllers, speaker wires, and randomly positioned power cables... as well as the magnetic fields generated by transformers in instrument amps, pedal boards and PA amps. Unlike single conductor cables, the shield on a Tone Defender does not transmit the minus side of the signal, instead, the + and - pathways are each carried by a pair of conductors that nest safely inside of the shield. This studio grade technology helps provide interference free transmission of your signal in all environments.All that shielding does no good if the cable doesn't hold together... I've put many years of thought and experimentation into that topic, developing and then refining a time consuming multiple step construction process which insures that a Tone Defender is incredibly robust. I think you could probably swing from it (not recommended) and still have it pass a clean signal. The first ones I made a decade ago were outstanding, ZERO failures reported so far. This is now the third generation Tone Defender, as good as the others were these are even stronger... This beast also looks great!Some other screw fitting cables cost less... at least in the short term. One of which is very well known to fail the first time it's subjected to common twisting forces, or upon receiving the inevitable hard yank when someone steps on a trailing section. Some look like they will hold up longer, but none I've seen here on ebay compare to the robust construction and shielding properties of a Tone Defender.I likely earn far less per hour than those who sell the cheaper ones, each Tone Defender takes 2+ hours to hand craft, some of the others would quite obviously take only about 10-15 minutes. The raw materials alone in a Tone Defender cost more than the final selling price of many others. My normal bench rate for labor equals more than my selling price. Not much profit here, just wanted to fill the void and offer the harmonica community a proven superior product that will perform at a very high level and stand the test of time. If someone claims their cable has better "specifications" then look at ALL the specs, rather than just the ones that are being boasted about, which might be things that are not particularly meaningful in real world use. Look to see if they are co... read more
