Sommer Cable The Spirit

The sound of this cable is quite balanced and punchy, quite tight. The only thing which it lacks in my opinion is the thickness like in LLX or tweed series.

Unfortunately I think that Sommer has kept the old prices but the quality of their cables is worse, the font has changed, and to me it seems the white material used to cover the hot wire and the black screen changed as well, now it is less clean when screen is removed and white material melts easier. It used to be good compared to other products, now it is nothing exceptional.

Since it is cheap, I would say it deserves a good note compared to more expensive Sommer models, which seem to bring same quality for much higher price.

I'm using The Sprit for patch leads between affects pedals, and from my pedalboard to amplifier. I use Klotz AC-110 as my instrument cable, but that's too stiff for patch leads: The Spirit has similar properties (good screening and low capacitance) while being a little more malleable than the Klotz (although not by much).

As with any low capacitance, well screened cable, The Spirit provides a good, clear signal which preserves high frequencies well. Well suited as either an instrument cable or as patch leads and interconnect. If you need something very flexible, though, something like Sommer's Tricone is a better choice.
