Vovox Sonorus Patch Cable - Angled 1.7'

The sound quality of Vovox Sonorous Patch Cables is exactly the same as Vovox Sonorus protect A. Vovox merely adapted the geometry of the cable to be better suited for the fabrication of very short cables. The capacitance of 75 pF/m is very low, therefore it has excellent technical requirements for optimal sound quality.

For patch cables, plugs have a special importance. For patch cables they also use the Vovox phone plugs with pure copper contacts, that are optimized for sound quality. But, in order to minimize the dimensions, in this version the housing is directly molded around the assembled cable. The trick: although the cable has a noble diameter of 8 mm, the plugs of the Vovox Sonorus patch are 15 - 30% smaller in all dimensions compared to the instrument cable. The utilized polymer of polyurethane is very robust and handy.

Vovox sound conductors are hand-assembled in Switzerland. The cables, including the solder, are lead-free.

Highest quality conductor materials

The selection of the right conductor material is crucial for the sound. The basis of all Vovox Sonorus cables are solid core conductors made from ultra-pure copper. Each wire is covered by a netting of natural fibers. This prevents from so called triboelectric noise and further enhances sound quality.

Ultra-pure polymers

Vovox Sonorus sound conductors are covered with high-tech polymers. Although plastics are not directly involved in the signal transmission, they do have an effect on the sound quality. Vovox doesn't use any PVC. Only ultra-pure plastics without plasticizers are used. Even the use of color pigments is almost completely avoided.

Additional conductor for ground

The conductors within a cable must fulfill several functions. The shield has the main function of protecting the signal conductor from interference. In most cables, the shield is also used as the return signal conductor. Vovox consequently separates these functions. This may be a more complex construction, yet it results clearly in better sound quality.

Optimal protection from microphonic noise

When a guitar cable is moved or stepped on, small electrical signals are created due to the change of the capacitance or due to electrostatic charges. This effect is called microphonic. It creates a disturbing crackling noise. Usually this phenomenon is avoided with the help of conductive plastics. However, this also negatively affects sound quality. Vovox have developed their own technique to solve the problem of microphonic noise using natural materials - without compromising sound quality.

Very low capacitance

It is impossible to judge the quality of an instrument cable just based on its capacitance. Nevertheless, to have a low capacitance is a precondition for a cable to transmit the whole frequency range. Vovox Sonorus protect A has a very low capacitance of only 75 pF/m.

Directionality

Vovox Sonorus patch cables have a directionality as well. The difference in sound quality is only minimal. Nevertheless, in order to get optimal results, connect the plug with the Vovox logo to the signal receiver. If you visualize the signal flow as an arrow, the logo is located at the tip of the arrow.
