How the amazing Neutrik Silent connectors work
The Neutrik 'Silent' plug automatically mutes (shorts) an instrument cable,
typically a guitar, to avoid pops and squeals when changing the instrument
under load. The integrated gold contact reed switch is activated by a
spring-loaded magnetic sleeve that un-shorts the contacts only when the jack
is fully mated. The switch is hermetically sealed, and is rated for at least
10,000 mating cycles. "The lifetime plug" Diecast shell, Neutrik unique chuck-type strain relief
with PU-sleeve for optimal cable protection.
