Ernie Ball Silent instrument cables feature a high-quality design made with superior components that are built to last. The silent plug features an integrated “silent” switch that cuts the signal as you plug and unplug, eliminating unpleasant noise from your amp or other audio source. Dual-conductors deliver reliably clear tone with crisp highs, tight mids, and rich harmonics. Multiple shielding materials preserve the signal with low handling noise, and the durable PVC jacket exterior ensures long-lasting performance.
