About This Item
Description
The ESP plug (Small, 4 mm) is a solderable, low-profile pancake-style 1/4" connector sized for Evidence Audio Monorail, Mogami 2314 and Blackrock cable. This listing is the ESP-RA-S Small 4 mm, right-angle mono version in a 10-pack.
Choose the right version
This is a 10-pack of the Small 4 mm right-angle mono plug. It fits mono cables with an outer diameter of about 4 mm, such as Evidence Audio Monorail, Evidence Audio Blackrock, Mogami 2314 (W2314) and Canare GS-4. For cables around 5 mm such as Mogami 2319, choose the ESP Large (ESP-RA-L) instead.
Why builders choose the ESP plug
Builders choose the ESP plug when they prefer a soldered connection in a compact, low-profile package. The small right-angle housing keeps patch cables tight to the pedals, so more effects fit on a board and jacks spaced close together stay usable. Choose the size that matches your cable's outer diameter.
Key features
- Right-angle, low-profile pancake housing measuring just 15 x 23 x 8 mm (W x H x D), one of the smallest 1/4" plugs for pedalboard patch cables.
- Patent-pending closure that uses a single screw instead of two, for a smaller form factor and faster assembly.
- Contacts machined from high-copper-content brass for hardness, strength and good conductivity.
- All-metal construction with a black finish; solder tabs make termination quick, and the plug can be opened and serviced later.
- Blackrock cable has enamel-coated strands: remove the coating before soldering (liquid flux and a hot iron help). Monorail is the easier cable to terminate.
- Sold in a pack of 10.

FAQ
Which size fits Monorail? This one: the ESP Small (4 mm) fits Evidence Audio Monorail, Mogami 2314, Canare GS-4 and Blackrock.
What if my cable is about 5 mm? Use the ESP Large (ESP-RA-L) for 5 mm mono cables such as Mogami 2319.
Do I need to solder? Yes. The ESP is a solder-type plug; it is serviceable, so a joint can be reopened and redone.
Can I use it with Blackrock cable? Yes. Blackrock has enamel-coated strands, so remove the coating before soldering; liquid flux and a hot iron help. Monorail is the easier cable to terminate.
Will it fit pedals with closely spaced jacks? Yes. The right-angle pancake housing measures just 15 x 23 x 8 mm and keeps patch cables tight to the pedals, so jacks spaced close together stay usable.
Is it a mono or stereo plug? Mono. It is a 1/4" TS plug for mono cables such as pedalboard patch cables, not a TRS (stereo) plug.
