Guitar / Instrument Cable

Audio Hire’s professional guitar and instrument cables are available for hire in Adelaide for connecting compatible electric guitars, bass guitars, keyboards and other instruments to amplifiers, effects equipment, audio interfaces and other suitable audio equipment.

A reliable instrument cable is a simple but essential part of many music setups. If you are hiring an amplifier or other equipment but do not have the appropriate cable with you, adding an instrument cable to the booking means you can connect your equipment without relying on whatever happens to be available at the venue or rehearsal space.

The cable uses standard 6.35mm (1/4-inch) jack connections commonly found on electric guitars, guitar amplifiers and a wide range of professional and musical audio equipment. Before booking, check the connections on the equipment you intend to use, as not every audio device uses the same type of input or output.

For Guitars, Amplifiers and Rehearsals

Instrument cables are commonly used to connect an electric guitar or bass directly to a compatible amplifier. They can also be used with appropriate pedals, effects units and other equipment that uses standard 6.35mm instrument connections.

If you are hiring Audio Hire’s Squier SP10 guitar amplifier, an instrument cable can be added if you do not already have a suitable cable for connecting your guitar to the amplifier.

For rehearsals and performances involving several instruments, it is worth checking every connection before the booking. Having enough cables of the correct type can prevent a simple missing connection from holding up an otherwise complete setup.

Instrument Cable or XLR Cable?

Instrument cables and XLR cables perform different roles and should not be treated as interchangeable simply because both carry audio signals.

A guitar or instrument cable typically uses 6.35mm jack connectors and is commonly used between instruments and compatible amplifiers or other equipment. XLR cables are commonly used for professional microphones, mixers, powered speakers and other balanced audio connections.

If you are unsure which cable you need, tell Audio Hire what equipment you are trying to connect. We can help identify the appropriate cable rather than leaving you with a connection that does not fit your equipment.

Audio Hire also provides XLR cables, extension leads, microphones, mixers, amplifiers and professional PA systems, allowing the necessary cabling to be included with a larger equipment booking.

Guitar and instrument cables can be collected from Audio Hire in Walkerville along with your other equipment. Check the live booking options on this page for current pricing and availability.
