The Siren Instrument Cable (Red and Black)

Description

The Siren Low Capacitance Instrument Cable

The Siren defies convention. There are many cables on the market with what may appear to be better on-paper specifications. The capacitance rating for Canare GS-6 cable used for the Siren is 48.5 pF/ft (160 pF/m). That’s high, right? Compared to many other cables on the market, it does appear to be high. However, don’t judge it based on one specification alone. While the Siren will exhibit a bit more high-frequency roll off for passive pickups, this has never concerned the Professor one bit. Why? The Siren pushes the midrange forward and rolls off treble in a wonderful way that compliments electric guitar and bass quite nicely, thank you. Use this cable to plug in your favorite guitar or bass with passive pickups into your favorite tube amp and you might fall victim to the Siren’s song for hours.

If the Dauntless has a sprinkle of mojo, the Siren has a tablespoon. It’s a subtle but complimentary EQ curve in a cable. It might be just what the doctor (or Professor) ordered for tonal variations when recording. Canare describes it as preserving a “bright, ringing characteristic sound” for instruments with Hi-Z (passive) pickups. The Professor’s old SG into a crunchy tube amp via The Siren? Yes, please. And I’ll be back for extra helpings. The Siren is a great choice for guitar, bass, keyboard or any unbalanced audio application.

This version has a rugged red and black plaid Techflex outer sleeve that looks great and provides plenty of extra armor. Premium quality made in USA and Japan components used throughout the construction of this cable. G&H copper core connectors will bend but resist breaking if stepped on. Additionally, the all metal construction means fewer plastic pieces prone to wear and breakage. These features add up to a cable ready for wear and tear you’ll throw at it on stage or in studio many years. A leather cable keeper is included.
