Neutrik NP2X-AU-SILENT

Special version of the 2-pole plug with integrated switch which automatically mutes (shorts) a guitar cable to avoid annoying pops and squeals when hot-swapping guitars.  The integrated silent switch is based on the REED technology and guarantees a lifetime beyond 10,000 mating cycles.

Features:

• Hermetically sealed and magnetically operated switch
• No wear, constant contact resistance
• No corrosion or pollution of switch, durable and long-lasting
• Lifetime beyond 10,000 mating cycles
• Red rubber overlay
