R&M launches ‘active’ PowerWire cable range

R&M Tone Technology has launched its new PowerWire line of patented active guitar cables, which it says act like active pickups on a guitar.

The firm claims the cables’ internal, low-noise pre-amp greatly improves signal quality and reduces noise, allowing a truer representation of the instrument and its pickups.

PowerWire offers the same effect as adding active pickups to any guitar, says the firm, but with extended battery life and no installation required. A self-contained, battery-powered pre-amp is built into the jack featuring circuitry that is all-analog, designed to deliver a cleaner, warmer sound and signal retention at cable lengths up to 100 feet. 

“Our experience in the lab shows that conventional cables are often quite restrictive in that they tend to cut off frequencies that really exist coming out of the coil,” said Michael Harney, president and CEO. “PowerWire releases the sound of your guitar or bass like never before by feeding exactly what’s coming out of the instrument downstream to the rest of your equipment through built-in pre-amplification, for a stronger, more dynamic sound with greater note definition.”

The Clean Boost CB6 cable offers clean boost with 6 dB gain and wide spectrum, and is designed as a universal cable for vintage, standard and single-coil pickup electric guitars; Clean Boost CB0 offers clean boost with 0 dB gain and wide spectrum, and is best matched with high-output pickups, acoustic electrics and steel guitars; Super Sizzle (SS) features a sub-harmonic bass boost with longer sustain to give electric and bass guitars a richer, fuller spectrum of sound with a subtle sub-harmonic in the lower frequencies and lastly, the Dynamic Distortion TS09 cable offers a classic distortion effect with wide spectrum. 

Features:

  • Active guitar cable with patented U.S. made R&M circuitry
  • Available in 20 or 40 foot lengths with embedded low-noise amplification 
  • Clean flat boost from 20 Hz to 20 KHz w/0.5db flatness across spectrum, an industry first 
  • Proven signal strength and spectrum retention even at cable lengths of 100 feet!  
  • Clean, amplified boost at the source of the signal, the pickups
  • Battery-powered pre-amp built into the jack 
  • Reduced noise and increased signal quality across the frequency spectrum
  • Makes passive, ordinary cables sound dull in comparison
  • Has the effect of adding active pickups to any guitar connected with PowerWire
