Alessandro Cables
Instrument Cables
On the surface, nothing could be easier than just getting an audio signal from one place to another – no amplification, no conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy or vice-versa. But the truth is, every cable must transfer a complex, multi-octave signal without losing, changing or coloring any of the information carried in that signal. Unfortunately, ordinary guitar cables – even the so-called premium ones – just don’t have the capability to do their intended job without major signal degradation. The serious electrified musician has been left without a viable alternative – until now.
Alessandro High-End Instrument Cables are the finest cables currently available for musical instruments. Manufactured with functionally-perfect silver and copper conductors protected by high-performance insulation, these cables have significantly better response and dynamics than any traditional cable. Exclusively manufactured for Alessandro by Audioquest® – a world leader in high-end cables – these cables will be a must for every musician. We manufacture a wide variety of cables for instruments, amplification and studio use. Check out the specifications and prices on our complete line of Instrument Cables and Studio Cables.
NOTE: All instrument cables are terminated with a 1/4″ plug; please specify straight or right-angle plug when ordering.
Instrument One
The Alessandro Instrument One cable is a variation on the traditional coaxial design. The Instrument One utilizes a solid, silver plated, long grain, oxygen-free copper center conductor, with Teflon and foam insulation, a triple shield and PVC jacket. This entry level cable will outperform every traditional cable. The solid center prevents strand-interaction, the greatest single source of cable distortion. Silver-plated copper (SPC) allows for the flattest, most dynamic frequency response for a minimum cost. Teflon insulation reduces dielectric involvement (distortion caused by the insulation material.)
For best performance, use these cables with the arrows pointing the same direction as the signal flow (Instrument –> pedal effects –> amplifier.)
| Instrument One | 1 foot (12") | 3 foot (36") | 12 foot (144") | 20 foot (240") |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • Silver-plated, oxygen-free long-grain copper center conductor • Teflon and foam Insulation • Foil/Mylar/Foil Shield • PVC Jacket | $29.95 | $39.95 | $49.95 | $59.95 |
Instrument Two
Alessandro Instrument Two, the next level cable, utilizes the same conductors as the Instrument One, but is Double Balanced. The double balanced design uses two conductors within the triple shield, eliminating the shield as a signal conductor. There is a dramatic increase in dynamics and response in this uniform, directional, double balanced conductor design.
For best performance, use these cables with the arrows pointing the same direction as the signal flow (Instrument –> pedal effects –> amplifier).
| Instrument Two | 1 foot (12") | 3 foot (36") | 12 foot (144") | 20 foot (240") |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • Double-balanced, silver-plated long-grain copper coxial conductor • Teflon and foam Insulation • Foil/Mylar/Foil Shield • PVC Jacket | $59.95 | $79.95 | $99.95 | $119.95 |
Series Three
Alessandro Series Three is our most current and technologically advanced cable. It combines state of the art patented technology with musically tested performance. The symetricoax technology delivers articulate, detailed signal without coloring the sound of the instrument. The Ohno Cast Copper is the finest copper audio conductor and delivers every nuance of your technique.

| Series 3 | 1 foot (12") | 3 foot (36") | 12 foot (144") | 20 foot (240") |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| • Symmetric coax OCC copper conductor • Teflon and foam Insulation • Foil/Mylar/Foil Shield • PVC Jacket | $63.75 | $101.25 | $250.00 | $400.00 |
Instrument Pro
The most advanced level of guitar cable is the Alessandro Instrument Pro, a double-balanced cable that has high-grade, functionally-perfect silver conductors. Silver is the final word in conductor material, being the most musical metal known. These cables use Teflon insulation over a solid silver core. The solid center prevents strand-interaction, the greatest single source of cable distortion. Solid silver allows for the flattest, most dynamic frequency response currently available. Hard-cell foam insulation reduces dielectric involvement (distortion caused by the insulation material.)
