Klotz PROK060PR is a 6-metre instrument cable from the PRO ARTIST series, terminated with a straight jack on the amplifier end and a 90-degree angled jack on the instrument end. The PRO ARTIST cable core measures 6.5 mm in diameter and uses double screening — bare copper spiral shield combined with a conductive plastic layer — holding capacitance to 95 pF/m. At 6 metres, that figure means the cable's high-frequency load on a passive guitar pickup stays low enough not to audibly blunt the top end or compress the attack.
Double shielding and low capacitance — tone preserved at full stage length
Cable capacitance is the primary tone-shaping variable in a passive guitar signal chain, acting as a low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency drops as length increases. The PRO ARTIST's dual-layer screen — copper spiral plus conductive plastic — handles EMI rejection without the capacitance penalty that single-layer heavy-copper braids often bring. The PVC jacket is compounded with specialist plasticizers to maintain both flexibility and electrical stability across the full service life of the cable, staying pliable at low temperatures on outdoor stages and in cold storage between tours.
Angled connector — mechanical protection where cables fail most
The 90-degree jack on the instrument end reduces leverage stress at the guitar's output socket, a common failure point when a cable is pulled sideways during a performance. The metal nickel shells on both connectors incorporate a heat-shrink sleeve at the cable-to-connector junction — an additional anti-kink measure that protects the conductor from fatigue fractures caused by repeated bending in the same spot. Gold-plated contacts on both plugs resist oxidation and hold low contact resistance regardless of how the cable is stored or how frequently it is plugged and unplugged.
