FREE THE TONE released its revolutionary ultra miniature solderless plugs “SL-8 Series” in 2012. This series has been widely accepted as it allowed easy cable making without soldering. However the SL-8 series plugs required the use of dedicated cable CU-416. At FREE THE TONE, while making many pedalboards and rack systems for our customers, we started a development project to commercialize solderless plugs that can use general shielded cables including our CUI-6550 and CU-5050.
We examined a wide variety of structures in order to be applicable to various shielded cables with different diameters and constructions available in the market. One day, we hit on an idea for a structure with individual contact points for the core wires and shield, and then after making many prototypes this new “SL-F Series” was finally completed (its original plug structure is patent pending.)
With “SL-F Series” plugs, you can easily make your custom shielded cable using any single core wire shielded cable (ø5 to 7 mm) with mulitple strands without soldering. You can of course make a new shielded cable with our optional CUI-6550 or CU-5050 cable, but without soldering you can also easily revive a cable that was broken at its plug or a cable whose soldered portion lost contact.
Cables are widely recognized by players as one of the major factors affecting sound. With FREE THE TONE’s “SL-F Series,” you can easily make your own custom cables for musical instruments including guitar/bass to your taste and in the desired length.
It’s great that everyone can now make shielded cables with ease. Please try this innovative product.
