Mogami is famous for neutral sound quality and very low noise. Recording professionals love them because it doesn't alter the sound of their talent before they get the chance to record it. They approach instrument cables exactly the same way. Every foot of Mogami cable is manufactured by craftsmen in a single factory in Japan, which is still run with pride by the founder of the company. A precisely wound 100% coverage shield made from individual strands of copper keeps electrical noise out without compromising tone as other shields can. Insultations are chosen for purity of sound, and long term stability. All aspects of the cable were designed with one goal - capture the sonic envelope of the instrument it is plugged into without coloration, noise, or loss. Since Mogami refuses to tune cables for colorations that flatter someone's idea of how they like sound, you get more of the instrument and style you are playing. Remember, cables are passive devices - cable cannot add to an instument's sound, only remove information from it. Whether you play bass, electric, or acoustic with a pickup: the more you like the sound of your instrument, the more you will like the sound of this cable.
