Pure Tone and AxLabs Hardware are proud to announce the release of the new Pure Tone Mono Shunt Output Jack, expanding the capabilities of the trusted multi-contact jack design for use across amplifiers, pedals, and instruments.
Building on the proven success of the original Pure Tone 1/4" mono jack, the new Mono Shunt version incorporates an integrated shunt connection, allowing for more advanced wiring configurations and added functionality in a variety of applications.
The integrated shorting feature keeps the switched terminal closed when no plug is inserted, most often used in amplifiers to ground the circuit and help eliminate hum. It can also be used as a speaker output jack, grounding the output when no speaker is connected to provide an added layer of amplifier protection, among other applications.
At the core of the design is Pure Tone’s patented multi-contact system, which provides several contact points on both the tip and sleeve. This design ensures superior signal retention, reduced noise, and a more secure connection compared to traditional single-contact jacks.
As with all Pure Tone Jacks, the new Mono Shunt Output Jack is constructed with high-quality beryllium copper contacts, with no pot metal alloys used, offering exceptional conductivity, long-lasting spring tension, and increased durability for demanding environments.
The Pure Tone Mono Shunt Output Jack is a direct replacement for standard 1/4" mono jacks, making it easy to integrate into existing designs or upgrades.
The new jack is available now at AxLabsHardware.com and through authorized Pure Tone dealers and distributors worldwide.
