Enabling any instrument lead to be silent

[kiat]

Just sharing an idea others have no doubt had, but I could not find when searching here.

 

A simple addition to my gear to make any instrument cable silent (and right angle).

* Neutrik silent right-angle jack 

* Sommer Spirit XXL instrument cable

* Neutrik locking jack socket

 

I got to this point having gone down the rabbithole of switching to IEMs for myself and one or more of the bands I play in. Specifically assembling dual cables into one: instrument out, mix to IEMs back. This adds a bit of effort initially but pays off with reduced cables and keeping them as a set (I have a similar cable from my multi-pedal to the personal headphone amp, so the wired IEM signal flows alongside the instrument signal route).

The downside is that it adds another potential point of failure where the two cables join.
