Musicians' Frequently Asked Questions About Hosa Cables
Q: Are molded cable terminations as rugged as metal ones?
A: Hosa offers both molded and metal head-shell assemblies in many configurations. The injection-molded cable terminations, for which they have become famous, have a built-in strain relief and carry Hosa's no-questions-asked Limited Lifetime Warranty. Recording studios, stage racks, keyboards, effects devices--all can be connected with molded assemblies like Hosa's CPP-, CPR-, and CRA-series cables and snakes which perform just as well as much more expensive cables with metal-headshell assemblies.
For applications where a cable undergoes repeated stresses--like a guitar cable, for example, which is subject to constant movement and possible strain at the ends when the guitarist "reaches the end of his rope" - Hosa recommends a specially-constructed guitar cable such as their GTR-400 Series, which encorporates a metal headshell with an internal strain-relief aided by an external shrink-tube which effectively bonds the headshell assembly to the cable itself for excellent protection from high-stress accidents.
Q: Why are most Hosa cables less expensive than many other brands? If I pay more for a cable, won't it sound better?
A: Hosa began business in 1984 with the belief that less-expensive doesn't have to mean "cheaper", and that it simply isn't necessary to connect your equipment with "NASA-approved", gold-plated cables thick enough to tow an eighteen-wheeler. So, if you can't afford to spend a week's equipment allowance for a few cables, then look no further than their regular Hosa brand for professional cables that work as hard as you do.
In the regular Hosa line, they pay strict attention to the basics of cable design and construction. Hosa makes sure that they're well-shielded from external sources of radio-frequency and current-induced noise and that they're of the proper gauge and of high copper purity to ensure low capacitance. In addition, Hosa usea correct soldering techniques to eliminate "cold-solder" joints which could cause intermittent connections or "ground hums". And finally they make sure that the jacket and head-shell/strain-relief combination are rugged enough to withstand the rigors of the intended application. Hosa provides all of these benefits in every cable they make, and they back them up with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
