EVIDENCE AUDIO
As fellow musicians and guitarists, we too are constantly on the prowl for the best gear to achieve that elusive 'tone' in our heads.
And when it comes to cables, we simply swear by Evidence Audio.
And frankly, we are just glad that guitar luminaries such as David Gilmour, John Mayer, John Petrucci and Scott Henderson, among others, share similiar sentiments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO CABLES MATTER THAT MUCH?
Yes, they do.
Your cables constitute a significant portion of your rig.
Even bedroom guitarists have at least a 10ft instrument cable, at least 5ft of patch cables and another 5ft/10ft cable to connect the pedalboard to the amp. Modestly speaking, that is at least 20ft of cable.
Gigging musicians' cable tally can easily double or triple that amount.
Your signal chain is only as good as its weakest link.
You can have a boutique guitar, boutique pedals and amp; but once you run them through 20ft of low-quality, poorly-made cables, you will find that your eventual tone will be much less than satisfactory. In fact, downright crass and uninspiring.
And you wonder what went wrong.
Low-quality, poorly-made cables not only colour your tone, they also muffle and strangle all the dynamics, punch, clarity and character out of your signal.
And it goes without saying that you will encounter all sorts of problems with microphonics, durability and reliability. Most of them are simply not gig-worthy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this where Evidence Audio's cables come into the picture.
For guitar instrument cables, we recommend the best that they have to offer; the LYRIC HG.
The Lyric HG uses IGL™ solid core 20 awg copper conductors and also features a symmetrical design.
What this means is that the clarity, harmonic detail and focus of your signal is preserved. Your tone also retains significant punch and authority, yet still being able to convey a sense or air, articulation and openess.
The Lyric HG also has conductive skins applied to positive and negative runs, so that microphonics are greatly reduced, especially with high-gain amps.
Maybe some of you have encountered problems with microphonics, whereby when you tap your cable, you will heard an irritating 'thud' sound.
Well, no such nonsense with the Lyric HG.
Also, the Lyric HG is directional, and on the sleeve it is stated which end goes to the amp. In fact, all cables are directional, the charges are like little chevrons. Naturally, going with the flow provides best results. The reason why you do not see other cable manufacturers indicating which side is which is because they simply do not care, or are unaware of this little glaring fact.
Simply put, this is testament to Evidence Audio's expertise and dedication to bringing you the best cables possible.
And to top it off, they also comes with high density copper braid shields so that nothing but signal gets to your amp, and the woven nylon jackets increase flexibility and protection for extended stage use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For patch cables, we recommend the MONORAIL.
Like the Lyric HG, the Monorail has a solid core, 20 awg IGL™ copper conductor. 98% shield coverage for outstanding noise rejection and a spiral shield with parallel conductor geometry to minimise strand interaction.
The Monorail also has a very low capacitance, so that you can use them in long runs without experiencing any treble roll-off.
Another good thing about the Monorail is how compact and they are, so you can fit them into tight spaces on your board to maximise the real-estate.
The Monorail can work solderless, meaning you can use your George L heads with them.
Some favour the flat-heads from Switchcraft, however, we recommend having them soldered with Amphenols heads for best results in terms of tone and durability.
We also carry the MELODY, and the new FORTE is coming soon too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I have been using the Lyics HG and Monorail in my setup for more than a year already, and I cannot see myself doing without them.
I have always been very impressed with Evidence Audio due to their sheer conviction and enthusiasm about music and guitars.
To sum it up, Evidence Audio is a winning combination of ingenuity, innovation, high-quality parts and impeccable workmanship. You can rest assured that you are in safe hands.
regards,
Phil
