Each strand of its conductors is enamel-coated, so it measures and sounds like a solid-core cable, yet keeps the flexibility and ruggedness of a stranded design. It is transparent and neutrally balanced, so there is no trying to match it to your gear: you simply hear your instrument and amp as they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forte is more flexible than the solid-core Lyric HG, which is a bit on the stiff side, while keeping a substantial, well-built feel for stage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary IGL-ECS copper conductors, separate runs for the positive and negative signal: individual strands are enamel-coated so they behave like solid-core while staying flexible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-balanced, low-capacitance geometry for greater dynamics and dimensionality than standard coaxial designs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-density braided shield attached at one end only, on the output side, to bleed interference to ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon-loaded outer jacket against triboelectric (handling) noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e conductor size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrik 1\/4\" connectors with high-copper-content brass contacts and nickel plating; a chuck system holds the cable firmly in the plug.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional: every run is tested, and a red boot marks the output end, which goes to the amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting the best from it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect the red-boot end to the amp (the straight plug).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cable settles in after about \u003cstrong\u003e40\u003c\/strong\u003e hours of carrying signal, with roughly \u003cstrong\u003e80%\u003c\/strong\u003e of the change in the first \u003cstrong\u003e10\u003c\/strong\u003e hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvidence Audio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForte instrument cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 ft\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003e4.5 m\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlugs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/4\" TS right-angle to 1\/4\" TS straight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnectors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeutrik; high-copper-content brass contacts, nickel-plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConductor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIGL-ECS enamel-coated stranded copper, \u003cstrong\u003e20 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGeometry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSemi-balanced, low capacitance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShield\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density braid, grounded at the output end\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJacket\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon-loaded extrusion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDirectionality\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirectional (red boot = output, to amp)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow flexible is the Forte?\u003c\/strong\u003e More flexible and easier to handle than the solid-core Lyric HG, thanks to its enamel-coated stranded conductors, while keeping a rugged build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich end goes to the amp?\u003c\/strong\u003e The end with the red boot.
