Evidence Audio
Evidence Audio was founded in 1997 to offer the finest musical instrument and studio cables available. Their technology is based on 20 years of research in preserving the quality of sound as it passes through electronics.
Cables are an area in the production and reproduction realm that can deliver serious improvement (or degradation) for the least amount of money. A void was recognized in the music industry for cable products based on merit rather than marketing hype. Hence the formation of Evidence Audio to bring performance-based cables at reasonable prices to those of us "laying it down."

The Lyric HG
Guitar Player Magazine's 2004 Readers' Choice Awards - Best Accessory. The best cable Evidence Audio produces. The Lyric HG is a line-level cable especially well-suited for high gain amplifiers or passive pickups where microphonics can be a challenge. The Lyric HG is an intelligent blend of materials and design which results in a new level of sonic transparency.

The Melody
Evidence Audio, award-winning supplier of performance-based cable products to the music instrument and studio market, introduces the Melody signal cable for use with instruments, as well as for studio, pedal-board, and rack wiring. The Melody is built by designer Tony Farinella to be what he calls a "coax cable done right."
Based on years of research in cable theory and design and most importantly time spent listening, the Melody incorporates fundamental features pioneered by Evidence Audio that allow signal transmission with minimal degradation. It is designed to pass audio with as little change as possible for an honest presentation of associated equipment and playing styles.
A few of the features of the Melody cable are:
- solid core primary conductor to eliminate the electromagnetic effects of strand interaction, resulting in dynamic bass response and focused midrange
- IGL (increased grain linearity) copper used to overcome distortions caused by copper impurities - allows high frequencies to be extended while still smooth and musical
- spiral shield with perfect conductor geometry - minimizes strand interaction on the ground path relative to braided shields which can collapse dimensionality
- 98% shield coverage for outstanding noise rejection in any environment
- low capacitance for use in long runs without high frequency attenuation
Designer Tony Farinella states, "I wanted to build a cable within reach of more people that was demonstrably better than generic cables re-badged with a brand-name and sold for $40-$70. The Melody is also a nice option for players who want something a little smaller for pedal boards, or don't have the budget to use 200 feet of Lyric HG on a large rack installation."
The Melody is available from dealers prepared in 10, 15 and 20 foot lengths. A 10 foot Melody cable sells for $61.00. The Melody is also available in bulk for customers who wish to build their own racks and pedal boards for $2.30 per foot.

The Lyric
Founded in 1997 in an effort to provide the finest instrument and studio cables available, Evidence Audio's technology is based upon decades of research in accurately transferring the quality of tone as it is passed through electronics. To test the Lyric instrument cable from Evidence Audio, we used a Zon Sonus and Fender Jazz basses connected via the Lyric to several SWR Sound Corporation units including the Grand Prix preamp, Stereo 800 power amp, Henry the 8x8 and Goliath Junior III speaker cabinets, and the Super Redhead combo amp.
Sound:
A/B tested against a range of cables of varying price levels, the Lyric easily outperformed them all. There was no comparison. The Lyric delivered a fully balanced signal with improved clarity, a wide dynamic range, a sonic depth, and an extremely well defined, articulate sound which the other cables seemed to lack. The signal remained crisp, lively, and clean. You could actually hear a sonic difference with A/B testing.
Construction:
In order to overcome the distortion found in most other cables of lesser quality, Evidence Audio's Lyric is a directional instrument cable which utilizes high-grade IGL copper conductors, solid core conductors, a balanced design, foamed polypropylene insulating material, a high-density pure copper braid for shielding to keep out interference, Wonder Solder from TRT, and Neutrik plugs. Many inferior cables will degrade audio signal through poor conducting material, insulation material, plugs, solder, strand design, and geometry, but the Lyric really excels in every area. Although the solid core conductors prevent the Lyric from possessing the flexibility of a stranded cable, the solid core conductors more than make up for that tradeoff with enhanced signal quality. These are heavy-duty cables. With the foamed polypropylene insulation, the amount of air around the conductors is maximized which in turn preserves the detail in resolution. In addition to the high-density pure copper braid, the conductors are also wrapped with graphite tape to further reduce extraneous noise. The Lyric can be utilized in long lengths without the fear of losing high frequencies because the Lyric was designed with that obstacle in mind. The Wonder Solder from TRT is comprised of a proprietary blend of materials which doesn't induce its own sonic signature on the tone, unlike many other solders. Likewise, the Neutrik plugs don't influence the signal, and they do a superb job of protecting against corrosion. The directionability of the Lyric is extremely easy to decipher. The plug with the red boot connects to the amplifier while the plug with the black boot goes to the instrument.
Value:
Through careful research and testing, the Lyric is comprised of a cable design which combines the best materials available, and the result is a high performance cable of exceptional quality which surpasses other cables costing much more.
Specifications:
As Tested
Length: 15 ft. Straight - Straight Plugs
Color: Green Vinyl Jacket
Connectors: Neutrick
Price: $55.00
