Accessories
We considered carefully what might be required when installing the system, and offer the following
additional items:
A set of heavy-duty shelves designed to house 8 large valve amplifiers; it includes power
distribution and cable management, and a slot for the
HeadLine
guitar switcher unit
Full high-quality cable looms designed to allow front and rear connection for the amplifiers,
with designated cables for plugging into the switcher. For these cables we use Neutrik Jack
plugs, offering a variety of options (gold plated or nickel, straight or right angle and silent
switch for the guitar end of guitar leads). The guitar signal cables are VDC’s classic XKE
instrument cable, colour coded, while the speaker cables use VDC Studio Grade 1.5mm
2
and
are numbered. Our web site has a table where you select the length and connector
configurations you require. For those purchasing the shelves, the ‘to-and-from’ amplifier
loom is pre-measured, while you will need to specify the TO SPEAKER cable lengths.
