Lightsnake STUSBG10
USB Instrument Cable

STUSBG10

This LightSnake cable is a 1/4” to USB cable which is ideal for guitars or other musical instruments. The LightSnake instrument cable is basically a “sound card on a cable” and with this cable you can record audio directly onto your computer. Connect the 1/4” mono plug of the LightSnake cable to your instrument and then connect the USB end to one of your computers USB ports.

This is a true USB plug-n-play connection. No additional drivers are needed for the following operating systems – Win 98 SE / Win ME / Win 2000 /Win XP and Mac OS9 / OS X. An ASIO driver is forthcoming for recording software that implements this technology.

An embedded 16 Bit Analog to Digital Converter with audio signal boost ensures extremely low audio loss and 48 KHz Sampling Rate provides you with high audio quality while recording. The HSDL (Host Side Data Loss) Noise Reduction function prevents any unwanted noise when converting the audio signal to digital format and saving to your computer.

The SoundTech LightSnake line was born out of the desire to create a simple solution to provide the ability to enjoy digital recording to everyone. An intelligent instrument-to-PC cable with embedded analog to digital converter and signal booster was created.

The LightSnake USB’s unique design enables anyone to plug their guitar, bass, keyboard or other electronic instrument directly into a PC eliminating the hassle, clutter and learning curve associated with high-quality digital recording. This was accomplished by virtually placing a sound card onto the cable.

The LightSnake features SoundTech’s patented “Live when Lit” technology cable ends that glow when connected properly and flash indicating when sound is being transmitted. The simplicity of these cables and their price point make the digital recording arena accessible to every one.

The cables are packaged with a DVD that contains 30 day trail versions of all of Sony Media Software titles, including Sound Forge, Acid, Vegas, etc. This addition makes the cable a complete solution right out of the box. Mac users are not left out as GarageBand recording software is on every new Macintosh sold.
