1/4″ TS Male-to-Male Audio Cable, 25 ft
This 25 ft Premier Series interconnect carries instrument-level or line-level signals between gear fitted with 1/4″ TS jacks. It uses 16 AWG stranded pure copper conductors and 97.5 % copper braid shielding to reject noise over long runs. Gold-plated plugs and moulded strain-relief boots protect the contact surfaces and cable exit points. The balanced two-conductor plus shield design works for unbalanced stereo or balanced mono patching.
Suits stage, studio and installed-sound wiring
Musicians, engineers and installers who need a single 25 ft TS-to-TS link for guitars, keyboards, outboard processors or mixer inserts will find the length and shielding adequate. Users requiring right-angle plugs, multipair snakes, XLR terminations or cables shorter than 25 ft should choose a different model. The TS connectors do not carry a separate ring contact, so balanced stereo or TRS insert applications are not supported.
Fits standard 1/4″ TS panels and patches directly
The cable plugs straight into any 1/4″ TS jack on instruments, amplifiers, patchbays or audio interfaces without adapters. Its 1.57 lb weight stays manageable on cable looms and stage floors. The 97.5 % braid shield and gold contacts keep the signal path clean, freeing the user from ground-loop hum and intermittent connections in permanent or touring setups.

Questions about this item
What source device needs a 1/4" TS output to connect with this 25 ft 16AWG cable?
Any instrument or pro-audio gear with a 1/4" TS jack — electric guitar, keyboard, mixer channel insert or audio interface output — plugs directly into one end of this 25 ft 16AWG cable.
Will the 1/4" TS plugs on this 16AWG cable mate securely with older 1/4" jacks on vintage amps or patchbays?
Yes, the standard 1/4" TS tip-sleeve geometry matches decades-old jacks, and the gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that can degrade older sockets.
How can I confirm the 97.5% braid shield is rejecting hum after I route the 25 ft cable near power cords?
With the system powered and gain up, listen for silence when the source is muted; any audible buzz indicates the shield or a connector contact needs reseating.
