Canare GS-6 is used for instrument cables:
Guitar / Keyboard / Instrument Cable (GS-6)
A specially designed Oxygen Free Copper 18 AWG cable for connecting Guitar/Bass or Keyboards to amps, mixers, effects pedals and all outboard signal processing gear. Low capacitance and low series resistance provides improved frequency response (flat to 50kHz). A bright, ringing characteristic sound is preserved, even when using HI-Z guitar pickups with long cable runs. The proprietary double Carbon/Braid Copper shield construction eliminates microphonic handling noise, especially on stage where amps are often set at maximum volume levels. Also highly recommended for Amp Head to Speaker Cabinet leads.
- Electronic Instruments.
- Hi-Fi Interconnects.
- Test Probes.
- Audio Patch Cords.
- AMP to Cabinet Leads.
- Stays Flexible even in Sub-Zero Weather.
- Oxygen Free Copper Conductor & Shield.
- Reduced Microphonic Handling Noise.
- Low Capacitance & Resistance.
