Important: Silent jack usage

Neutrik silent jacks include a built-in switching mechanism that mutes the signal when unplugged. While highly useful for live performance and rehearsals, this internal mechanism makes them more delicate than standard jack plugs.

We do not recommend silent jacks for heavy touring use or situations where cables are subject to frequent impact, strain, or rough handling.

Please note: due to the nature of the silent jack mechanism, we do not offer warranty on silent jack connectors. Standard jack options are recommended for maximum durability in demanding environments.
