VOVOX® sonorus protect A Swiss Linen Edition

Good for life, good for sound. The VOVOX sonorus protect A cable remains one of the world's premier instrument cables and is our top seller. A unique feature of this special edition is its elegant linen sheathing. The flax fibers used for this purpose are sourced from SwissFlax in the Emmental region. Flax has an outstanding environmental footprint; compared to other natural fibers like cotton, it requires less land, water, pesticides, and fertilizers for cultivation. Most importantly, unlike synthetic fibers, flax is a renewable and biodegradable material, which eliminates the production of microplastics. It's a small yet significant step in the right direction.

Design

Sheathing
The flax for the linen sheathing is grown in the Emmental region, cultivated using resource-efficient and environmentally friendly methods. The entire plant is utilized: long fibers for yarn, short fibers for packing cords, and the seeds as food. This makes flax a versatile plant with a long-standing tradition in Switzerland.

Connectors

Our goal is the perfect transmission of audio signals. Not just the cables, also the audio plugs have to meet our high requirements. Most plugs available on the market are well constructed, but they often fail to deliver optimal sound quality. That's why we’ve developed our own series of VOVOX® jack plugs: these offer first-class functionality, as well as excellent sound.

robust housing made of fiber-reinforced engineering-plastic
optimal bend-protection
lead-free soldering

Important

An angled jack plug reduces the tension on both the instrument as well as the cable. This increases the cables life-span. Decide for yourself which type of plug is best for you: A straight jack plug or a 90° right-angle jack plug (on the instrument side). For acoustic guitars, angled jack plugs are almost always preferred.
