Lava Cable Magma 10 signal cable 3m/2x straight plug

General

The American company Lava Cable produces high-end instrument cables for demanding guitarists and professionals. This Lava Cable Magma 10 is a high-quality, 3-metre long cable with two straight plugs. Each component of a Magma cable is designed to keep your guitar signal as pure as possible, something you'll notice as soon as you use one. The Magma cables allow for a clear sound without any loss of signal or added noise.

Construction and performance

As far as instrument cables are concerned, the lower the capacitance, the less signal quality is lost in the highs. The Magma cables have an incredibly low capacitance. The cores of the Magma cables are made of 99% pure copper, which results in an extremely low capacitance of 29.5 pF/ft. Noise caused by external factors is also minimised thanks to the 93% Spiral Shield cable sheath. For optimal signal transfer, the soldering from cable to plug makes use of an alloy with 4% silver.

Show Savers plugs

Lava Cable Magma cables are equipped with high-grade Show Savers plugs from the G&H company. There's a very simple reason that Lava Cable uses another company's plugs, and that's because they felt that the Show Savers' quality and durability was unrivalled. The secret of the Show Savers lies in the connections between the cable and the plugs that are not only efficient but more robust than those found on traditional plugs. Not only do Magma cables keep your signal pure, they are also virtually indestructible.
