Nylon webbing over PVC jackets and NeutrikR connectors upgrade performance

Buena Park, CA - April 2012. Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of
analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician, is
pleased to introduce a significant upgrade of the company's popular Elite
Series guitar cables. Now available with Neutrik X-Series straight and
right-angle plugs plus a new nylon webbing over the cable's PVC jacket, the
Elite Series takes advantage of the latest technological advances and
state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to deliver performance attributes
that are every bit on par-if not superior to-more costly boutique cables.

A clean, reliable connection to one's signal processing and amplification
chain is of paramount concern for any guitarist or bassist and the Hosa
Elite Series guitar cable makes this a top priority. The Neutrik X-Series
connectors employ precision machined, one-piece contacts designed to provide
both signal integrity and structural rigidity. The connectors feature
gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance and superior signal transfer
and utilize a zinc die-cast housing for rock-solid reliability. With a
polyurethane gland to prevent cable kinking for longer cable life and
chuck-type strain relief for maximum cable retention combined with a sleek,
ergonomic design for easy handling, these connectors deliver the ideal blend
of performance and long-term reliability.

Of course, the cable's quality is an equally important contributor to
overall audio performance and here, too, the Hosa Elite Series guitar cable
excels. These cables use 20 AWG Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors that
reduce resistance in order to facilitate maximum signal transfer.
Polyethylene dielectrics reduce capacitance for crystal-clear high-frequency
transmission while conductive PVC reduces handling noise. Further, a 95% OFC
braided shield is employed for noise-free signal transmission. Take all this
and complete it with nylon webbing over the cable's PVC jacket, which is
cut- and abrasion-resistant for a lifetime of trouble-free use, and the end
result is a cable musicians can place their trust in.

Jonathan Pusey, Hosa Technology's Vice President of Sales and Marketing,
commented on the second generation Elite Series guitar cable. "We spared no
expense in the development of this cable and the enhancements made to this
line are significant," said Pusey. "With a rich feature set and a highly
competitive price, we are extremely proud of this product line. The Elite
Series has always been an exceptional product and now, with the addition of
Neutrik connectors and abrasion-resistant nylon webbing for a lifetime of
dynamic, noise-free sound quality, I'm confident guitarists everywhere will
find much to like."

Hosa Technology's Elite Series cables range in price from an MSRP of $44.10
(for a 5-foot length straight to same) through $85.65 (for a 25-foot
straight to right angle model). These cables are also available in 6-inch,
1-foot, and 1.5-foot patch cord lengths, with MSRP pricing ranging from
$38.85 - $40.95. The Elite Series is slated to become available late Q2,
2012.

Hosa Technology, the leading innovator of analog and digital connectivity solutions for the modern musician, is pleased to announce the introduction of three new accessory products for JamHub, the silent rehearsal studio. Hosa Technology is now a participant in JamHub’s Made for JamHub Product Partnering Program and, as such, announces the JamHub Section Cable, the JamHub Direct Guitar Cable, and JamHub Cable Labels. These new products reduce clutter, remove the need for adaptors, and bring greater organization to using a JamHub—with the result being the freedom to focus on what really matters: one’s music.

The JamHub Section Cable is an all-in-one solution enabling musicians to plug into the JamHub without the clutter and confusion of using three separate cables. Each channel is optimized for JamHub connectivity. The JamHub Section Cable is manufactured from triplex cable, which reduces tangles and fosters proper cable management. It integrates a microphone cable, a headphone cable, and a dedicated mono to stereo guitar cable that eliminates the need for an adaptor. Numbered and color-coded labels (sold separately) match each JamHub color section for easy identification.

The JamHub Direct Guitar Cable enables guitarists to connect directly to a JamHub without the signal degradation associated with using an adaptor. The stereo phone plug applies signal equally to the left and right channels. The JamHub Direct Guitar Cable uses serviceable, all-metal plugs and is ideal for touring with a JamHub. The cable employs an Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductor for enhanced signal clarity as well as a high-density OFC braided shield for superior EMI (electro-magnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) rejection—keeping signals crystal clear.

JamHub Cable Labels enable musicians to organize their cables and coordinate them with a JamHub. They are ideal for use with Hosa’s new Made for JamHub cables or with any cables that work with a JamHub. Each package includes seven labels—one for each member of the band. Easy to apply and even easier to remove, these labels are numbered and matched to the JamHub’s color scheme.

Jonathan  Pusey, Hosa Technology’s Director of Sales and Marketing, commented on the new JamHub accessory products. “JamHub has emerged as a truly innovative rehearsal tool for musicians of all proficiency levels,” Pusey said. “Our three new JamHub accessories not only make connecting to the JamHub easier and more efficient, these products simplify using the system, enabling musicians to concentrate on their creative efforts rather than wrestle with technology. Manufactured with superior materials and specifically designed to match the JamHub’s aesthetics, our JamHub Section Cable, JamHub Direct Guitar Cable, and JamHub Cable Labels are the ideal accessories to help musicians gain the full benefits of a JamHub. I’m confident musicians will find these products a great add-on to their systems.”

Hosa’s JamHub Section Cable, JamHub Direct Guitar Cable, and the JamHub Cable Labels are available now. MSRP for each item is as follows:

• JamHub      Section Cable:                         $29.95
• JamHub      Direct Guitar Cable:                  $17.00
• JamHub      Cable Labels:                           $14.25
