UK / USA - Direct marketing company Smart Sound Direct has acquired sole UK distribution rights to the Pro Co line of instrument and speaker cables, multicores and patchbays. Pro Co has been manufacturing cables for the last 25 years and says that the use of the finest quality materials with revolutionary production techniques has resulted in a robust, durable and indestructible cable that will never break - hence the lifetime warranty.

The copany's Guardian range includes the Kevlar-reinforced Defender instrument cable, which employs the company's AmeriQuad biwire geometry (reducing noise by up to 20dB) and has a specially formulated, flexible PVC covering for high protection. A copper braided shield and 24 carat gold-plated, machined brass jack connector with oxygen-free copper conductor complete the spec.

The similarly constructed Sir Tweed and Black Jack guitar and instrument cables differ slightly in that both benefit from a 41-strand, 20 gauge, high-purity copper conductor and copper shielding for better signal flow and noise rejection.
