Leads made up by us

We have over 30 plus years of experience in the industry. We make the lead-up with great care and attention in our workshop and it is fully tested and inspected before leaving us.  Silver solder with a 4 percent content is also used. This gives a very good soldered joint, that is far better than standard lead-free solder. The flux within the solder also is neutralised once soldered, many other soldered do not do this. Flux is what helps the solder stick to the solder contacts within the connector.

Cable Length Important - This is cut length and the connector is added to it, this means around 10cm of the cable will be inside the connectors.

For mic/line level use only - this is NOT for connections between an amplifier output to passive speaker.
