Monster Audio Cable - Over 30 Years Of High Performance

If you get a Monster audio cable you are getting one of the most widely used cables in the audio and video industries.

Noel Lee founded Monster Cable Products Inc. in 1979, when he was a laser-fusion design engineer at the Lawrence-Livermore Labs, in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. As a professional drummer and audiophile, he was inspired to develop a high performance speaker cables, to improve the sound quality of recordings. He understood the limitations of regular electrical wires, more adequate for use in lighting and other appliances, and created a wire with an improved capacity to handle the full range of sounds produced in music, including the high, medium and low pitched sounds. He revitalized the world of cable production for audio and visual media and created a whole line of Monster cables which are in great demand today. In the audio and video market, Monster is now the world’s leading manufacturer of cables, and the name Monster has become synonymous with high quality and high performance, a must-have for professionals who work with music and images.

There are now over 4000 Monster products in the market and they are sold all over the world. Monster holds over two hundred patents for its designs and product features. The most important retailers of audio and video equipment carry Monster products. Monster audio cables are among the biggest sellers, not surprisingly, with the explosive expansion of the personal stereo products market, starting with the SONY Walkman in the early 1980’s and most recently adding the now ubiquitous iPod.

Different models of Monster audio cables on the market include the Performer 500 Instrument Cable, the Monster Rock Instrument Cable, and MusicConnect MBL Audio Cable. All these products obviously cater to musicians and sound technicians, and their cost does not exceed $20. Considering these are highly recommended cables, one might presume the company could have justified higher prices.

The excellent reviews of products such as the Monster Rock Instrument Cable, includes statements such as that this product "accents the raw power of [the] sound" and that it "enhances [the] guitar’s sonic bite". These certainly sound like very desirable features for an audio cable.

Monster audio cables use the audio industry’s preferred optical fiber technology and digital data transmission protocols and standards. The quality of the materials used in the cables, of the cable casings, and of the terminations is top of the line, including plugs or jacks, which use the most proven combinations of metals to conduct the data. Many of the Monster products are called "High" and "Ultra High" performance items, because they are tailored for the professionals who can scrutinize sound quality in great detail. Most of the professional equipment for which these cables are used require very specific cables and accessories, but even if you are a just an everyday user of an iPod or an audio console, your equipment will perform at its best when using a proven and tested Monster audio cable.
