With the CMM-800 series, the US manufacturer Hosa offers high-quality patch cables in four different lengths made especially for modular and semi-modular synthesizers and sound modules. These are available as sets of eight different-coloured cables of identical length. The unbalanced mono mini-jack cables feature a robust and highly flexible outer jacket to allow optimum handling. The patch cables of the CMM-800 series also feature effective shielding that ensures interference-free signal transmission. Excellent workmanship and slim connectors round off the overall package.
Each patch cable in the Hosa CMM-890 set is 90cm in length and has a conductor cross-section of 0.14mm2 (AWG26). The conductor itself is made of high-purity, oxygen-free copper for excellent signal clarity and conductivity. Effective protection against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference (RFI) is provided by the spiral shielding made of 85% OFC. Its robust outer jacket, on the other hand, protects the conductor and spiral shield from damage. The extremely compact 3.5mm mono jack plugs are nickel-plated for efficient signal transmission.
Anyone who works with modular or semi-modular synthesizers knows that not all patch cables are the same: In addition to cumbersome plugs and poor-quality solder joints, subpar handling due to a lack of flexibility often proves to be a crucial shortcoming that causes aggravation in practice. However, modular synth enthusiasts who choose patch cables from the Hosa CMM-800 series can say goodbye to those problems thanks to the cables' sturdy and narrow nickel-plated connectors and their combination of excellent workmanship and practice-oriented flexibility.
Founded in 1984, Hosa is a California-based US company specialising in the development of high-quality connectivity solutions for the music and audio industries. Various audio cables and adapters, video and data cables, power cords, switches, audio interfaces, and even music equipment such as organisational solutions, bags, and tripods are part of the Hosa range. However, their commitment to social projects is particularly noteworthy: Every year the company offers a scholarship through the Musicians Institute (MI) for audio engineering. In addition, Hosa supports various organisations that are committed to providing easier access to education, music, and art as well as an improved quality of life for socially disadvantaged children.
The patch cables in the Hosa CMM-890 set are ideal for cabling modular synthesizers with mini-jack connectors. No matter whether you are dealing with a small semi-modular desktop unit, a fully modular synthesizer, or a system of individual sound modules in Eurorack format that you have assembled yourself: The Hosa CMM-890 patch cable set provides a secure and extremely flexible connection. Thanks to the narrow 3.5mm mini-jack plugs, they can also be used for closely-spaced patches without any problems. And their excellent workmanship means that these cables will be long-lasting and reliable companions.
