About This Item
Description
The Melody is designed to create the kind of first-listen realization that a spec sheet alone cannot convey: a genuine, audible step up from an ordinary cable at an accessible price. This listing is the 15 ft (4.5 m), Right to Straight plugs version.
Choose the right version
This is the 15 ft (4.5 m) length with Right to Straight plugs. Choose Right-to-Straight for tight guitar-jack clearance, or Straight-to-Straight for standard top-mount jacks and pedalboard runs. Longer lengths suit larger stages; shorter lengths keep signal runs tidy.
Why players choose the Melody Instrumental
Players choose the Melody as a next-level introduction to the brand. A single solid-core IGL center conductor eliminates strand interaction in the signal path, and its conductive shielding keeps it quiet when you move it around or drag it across the floor.
Honest note: the Melody is a solid-core design, so it is a little more at home in stationary use than the very flexible Reveal.
How it compares
Both the Melody and the Lyric HG use solid-core IGL, but they are different tools. The Melody is the simpler coaxial solid-core entry into Evidence Audio clarity and suits more stationary use. The Lyric HG is the sound-first flagship, with a semi-balanced two-conductor construction and telescoping shield and is intentionally stiffer.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Melody the most affordable Evidence Audio instrument cable?
Yes. It is the entry point into the instrument-cable line while still using the brand's solid-core IGL construction.
Right-to-Straight or Straight-to-Straight?
Right-to-Straight for tight jack clearance; Straight-to-Straight for standard top-mount jacks.
Should I choose the Melody or the Lyric HG?
Both are solid-core IGL. The Melody is the affordable coaxial solid-core entry point and is a little more at home in stationary roles such as lap-steel or a set stage position. The Lyric HG is the semi-balanced, sound-first flagship — more transparent, and intentionally stiffer.
