One huge note to add is that Monster Performer 500 is a type of speaker cable. Speaker cable is unshielded and works really good w/ output to speakers. Speaker cable is rated to have higher rate of current to flow through the signal path. The guitar cables should be shielded and carry a lower flow of current into the signal path. This video is prime example of a someone who shops primarily at guitar center.

The only reason its so loud is because its a speaker cable for connecting amps to cabinets. Not to beat a dead horse here. Its unshielded thats why its so loud. Try a monster rock instrument cable. Theres nothing wrong with your performer 500. you're just using it for the wrong application.

I wouldn't buy Monster Cables on the fact that the company is a bunch of ignorant morons. They sue everything left and right that has 'monster' within the name. Also throw in the fact that their cables are no better than a coat hanger, yeah don't waste your money L.

As a Bass player I never had a problem with Monster cable. My guitar player uses Mogami Platinum Guitar cable it is double the cost of Monster cable and i hear nor see much difference in the two. "however, The cheap wire that you use in this video will eventually short out especially if you twist and turn it or keep on unpluging it, So by the time you keep going to the store to buy more cheap cable, you will eventually spend more then the Monster cable was!

Well guess what..

some of my relatives are in the audio equipment renting business, "concerts, studios, DJ's ect.." they don't waste their money on ready made, overpriced monster cables

they buy them by the roll and install their own interconects

never got any problems

@nainladen "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding". If you're happy with your cable then go ahead and use it. I'm not a personal user of Monster, I just know them professionally and work with companies/artists that also do. It takes some on-the-field experience to understand some stuff. Good luck with your career

1st real producers do't buy snake oil like pear, monster or nordst cables they buy heavy duty professional audio cables from respectable companies like mantra or canford

2nd Min noise forces a re-take?? LOAD OF BS! test and adjust their equipment before starting any recording

3rd: Need repair? haha what fool you are My £8 cable made from HV black and Decker armored cable tested against shear, uv and acid will outlast any monster cable

you are just being an ignorant fanboy.

While monster cables DO suck, without a doubt (they sound bad, really make your tone compressed and weedy) if, as it appears to be, you bought a speaker cable rather than an instrument cable, this is a typical example of a music store employee not bothering to check with a buyer if they're actually buying what they think they are. Most probably because they're on commission and it's a pricey up-sell which earns them more money.
