EDITORS' PICK AWARD!
The sky's the limit when it comes to how much you can spend on a high-end cable, but the German-made KLOTZ guitar leads imported by American distributor Kendrick Amplifiers deliver top-notch performance without taking a huge whack out of your wallet.Featuring smooth outer jackets to resist knotting, low-capacitance conductors to ensure your tones stay bright and pure, and strain-relieved connectors to keep' em working reliably, KLOTZ cables are a no-brainer for anyone who wants as little as possible coming between their guitar and amp.We tested the 10' LaGrange model (…)with a variety of guitars and amps, and found it to be one of the clearest and most coherent sounding cables we've tried - not surprising considering its low total capacitance (cable + connectors) of 225pf. Notes spring from the speakers sounding focused and aligned, and the note detail and top-to-bottom balance is extraordinary. The LaGrange even brings out a little extra beefiness in the low-end - which is truly the mark of a cable that's revealing all the sonic goodies your guitar has to offer.

„With its midrange zing and abundant low-end, the La Grange is a muscular-sounding cable that melds clarity and string-to-string detail with an impressive punch.“

COMPARO-WINNER!
[...] The top ranked Klotz guitar cable rates a 10 out of 10 in this comparison.Its lack of coloration and almostcomplete neutrality set it apart inthe test. The Klotz also behaves well physically by coiling easily and connecting solidly to the guitar and amp. Those of you accustomed to using free guitar cables or those under $10 will think that I'm crazy to think of a price, twenty-foot Klotz as a best buy, but I'll be ordering oneas soon as I finish writing this comparison.
It will now become my reference of how a guitar cable should sound and perform. [...

"KLOTZ Cable have long been my cable of choice because of their outstanding quality and fantastic sound"
現代を代表するブルースギタリスト、ジョー・ボナマッサのシグネチャーケーブル登場!
長年KLOTZケーブルを愛用してきた彼が自身の長く続くツアーやスタジオワークなど厳しい現場でも耐えられ得る完璧なケーブルをリクエスト。
妥協なき音、品質、最高水準のテストにすべてクリアしてできたまさにジョー・ボナマッサ仕様。

エリック・クラプトンとの共演をはじめ現在の最も注目されるブルーズギタリスト、ジョー・ボナマッサがリクエストして完成したギタリスト垂涎のギターケーブルです。

Joe Bonamassa
When Joe Bonamassa stepped onto the world stage at his legendary Royal Albert Hall concert, he had already embarked on a major career as an outstanding guitarist. Having already shared a stage with BB King at the age of only 11, his only ambition was to be a guitarist. Now he has achieved his dream and is among the top names in the global guitar scene.
Because Joe uses the finest equipment, it was only logical that we would design a tailored signature cable for him. A cable that doesn't compromise on quality. A high flyer for stage work and the tough routine of touring. A cable of technical perfection, delivering brilliant yet utterly natural sound.
A cable like Joe Bonamassa.

KLOTZ CABLES HIGHEND MODEL
【今までにない高解像度と低ノイズ】
KLOTZが今までにない高信頼性、低ノイズのハイエンドケーブルを開発!!
高音質でありながらも雑音除去を実現!ノイトリック(with Silent Plug TM)採用。ヨーロッパ、アメリカにて特許取得。
あなたはいままで本当にギターの奏でていた音を知らないのかもしれない!このケーブルで是非確認を!!
すべての楽器で高評価を得ております!!

これまでどのメーカーのハイエンドモデルでも確認出来たノイズが、不思議なことにこのケーブルでは確認出来なかった。
かといって音が削られているわけでなく、むしろピックの当たる音やギターアンプが鈴なり(ベルトーン)さえ起こっている。音域は間違いなくどこまでも広い。
今までの楽器用ケーブルは一体なんだったのだろうか?
失っているものを補えることは出来ず、それを加工するよりあるがまま(いやそれ以上の)音を奏でるこのケーブルには【あるがままを美しく表し、そして失わない大切さを知った】

High End infinite tone-perfect silence
TITANIUM
High end type of instrument cable completely free from microphonics.
Patented cable design enhances sound.
Patent protected in Europe and the USA. Maximum signal transparency/ultra-low signal compression/outstanding sound quality

infinite tone - perfect silence
KLOTZ a.i.s. TITANIUM
New type of instrument cable completely free from microphonics. Patented cable design enhances sound. Patent protected in Europe and the USA. Up to now, the issue of whether it was actually possible to radically improve an instrument cable was largely a question of faith. Of course, gradual enhancements were always introduced and enormous efforts and ambition were expended – but it’s only now that a genuine revolution is under way. German cable manufacturer KLOTZ a.i.s., based in Vaterstetten near Munich, announces the launch of the new TITANIUM instrument cable. In the past, musicians were faced with the choice of great sound OR low cable microphony. The new TITANIUM cable guarantees both: superb sound quality PLUS minimal microphony.KLOTZ a.i.s. has really succeeded in squaring the circle with its revolutionary new cable design. The TITANIUM not only delivers outstanding signal quality and tone; it’s also so rugged and tough that subsonic noise, motion noise, static and interference are reduced to negligible levels. These sonic and mechanical properties, plus Neutrik connectors (optionally with “Silent Plug“™), combine with the KLOTZ a.i.s. hallmark of long-standing technology experience to give an absolutely unique high-end cable. The cable is produced in Germany and every one is subjected to a battery of tests before being released for sale. KLOTZ a.i.s. is so confident of the TITANIUM’s quality that it’s even issued a lifetime guarantee.
