The SIS Plug offers a musician the chance to create and re-create trustworthy connections with the Monorail patch cable without the need for a soldering iron.
San Juan Capistrano, CA (January 5, 2013) ā Evidence Audio, award-winning supplier of performance-based cable products to the Music Instrument and Studio market, introduces the SIS Screw In Solderless Plug. The SIS Plug offers a musician the chance to create and re-create trustworthy connections with the Monorail patch cable without the need for a soldering iron.
The SIS plug is designed to work with the solid IGL copper conductor of the Monorail cable which screws into the SIS plug for an air-tight connection which in many ways is superior to a soldered connection. The SIS plug is extremely compact and when used with the Monorail cable, allows for one of the smallest and reliable patch cable options available today.
Designer Tony Farinella states āThe SIS Plug is the result of years of development and functions unlike any other solution to date. The innovative design of the Monorail cable finally has a matching Solderless plug to work with, and the results are in line with my company mission to deliver the most transparent and neutral sounding audio cables a musician can findā.
The SIS Plug will be available after the NAMM Show this month from dealers around the world. The price of the plug will be $7.95 each in the USA.
