What is the advantage of low-capacitance cable? The propaudio ultra low capacitance cable lets you hear all the frequencies being produced by your guitar. High cable capacitance kills the high frequencies from your pickups, resulting in a muddy sound and the greater the signal loss. With cables that are paired, or coaxial, the two conductors with insulation or conductor and shielding in between form a capacitor, which holds an electrical charge. The electrical resistance of a guitar cable is insignificantly tiny compared with the impedance of the pickups and controls, so that won’t affect your tone a great deal, but cable capacitance is another matter altogether. A capacitor is formed whenever two electrical conductors are in placed in close proximity, and for a given spacing, the larger the surface area of the conductors, the larger the capacitance. The core and screen conductors of typical guitar cable may produce a capacitance of around 30 picofarads per foot (or 100 ...

A Line level is in the region of 0 dBV (1.0 volt), Line level signals have a much higher voltage output than mic or instrument level, usually somewhere around 750 millivolts.It is about 1,000 times as strong as a mic-level signal, so the two do not ordinarily use the same input. This signal travels from your pre-amp to the amplifier that powers your speakers.  -10 dBV (0.316 V RMS) for consumer equipment (like MP3 and DVD players), +4 dBu (1.23 V RMS) for professional equipment (mixing desks and signal processing gear) . The 4 main connector types we see in line level audio, and in fact all of analog audio, are the 6.35mm jack, 3.5mm mini jack, RCA and XLR connector. Connecting a line-level source (such as mixer output) to a mic-level input will cause the sound to be loud and distorted because the line signal is much stronger than what the mic input will accept. Inputs and outputs on many mixers are switchable for either mic or line level operation. Line outputs hav...
