WA302

Just what you expect from it.

SHURE makes great products and went with their cable. You may pay a little more but you get a lot more. I run Shure wireless systems and this is to an instrument, guitar, bass into the transmitter. Got 1 straight and 1 a right angle to accommodate the type of guitar or bass. Great product from a great manufacturer and it’s a win win in my book!

I required an instrument cable adapter for the Shure wireless device. The connector and the phono jack are of good quality. Exactly what I needed to replace my old damaged cable.

Works great!

ALWAYS HANDY TO HAVE AN EXTRA ONE WHEN YOU USE WIRELESS NOTHING IS BETTER WORSE THAN A SHORTED CABLE

I bought this cable for use with Shure BLX wireless bodypack transmitter and electric acoustic guitar, mainly because I was having too much trouble trying to make my own with a standard instrument cable ... too darn hard to properly solder the leads at the TA4F end. Another reason I wanted to make my own is that I wanted the cable to be a much shorter, custom length (a little more than a foot), so there's no excess cable hanging off my back when I'm moving around/playing. Another reason I wanted to make my own is that I prefer the Neutrik right-angle 1/4" plugs to the nickel/chrome jobs Shure uses with the WA302 (straight plug) and WA304 (right-angle plug). So, here's what I did. I bought the WA302 because it's a little cheaper than the WA304 (for no apparent reason other than straight plug vs. right angle plug). I cut the TA4F half of the cable to the exact length I wanted, and replaced the Shure 1/4" plug with my favorite, black Neutrik right-angle plug. Result: a perfect fit and look. Shure uses a smaller gauge, but nicely-shielded mic cable (copper-strand shielding, cotton insulation, red/black main leads) in order to make it a better fit for the TA4F connector. Problem is, the 1/4" plug they're using at the other end is designed for the typical, larger gauge instrument cable, and when the makers clamp this smaller-gauge cable in the plug housing, it leaves a pretty noticeable gap in the cable opening at the end of the plug. They've put a shrink-wrap tube on the cable for protection here, but I just thought this connection looked a little "bush-league" for a Shure product, and that's why I dinged the product one star. It *works* exactly as it's supposed to, but just doesn't look as "finished" as I think it should. The Neutrik plug that I replaced the Shure plug with uses a "clutch" type clamp to secure the cable in the center of the plug housing, not on one side of it. This three-prong clamp has little serrated edges that squeeze the cable as you screw the end cap into the plug to complete/seal the assembly. The end cap has a centered hole in it that stretches to fit the cable you're using. The Shure cable fit perfectly in the hole, creating a nice seal against dust and moisture intrusion at the entry point. As a matter of fact, it came out so nice that I'm buying another Neutrik plug so that I can use the remaining portion of the Shure cable to make myself an identical spare, with the smaller gauge Shure cable making it much easier to prep and solder the leads at the TA4F end ... All in all, even though I "hacked" this part to fit my particular needs, I'm still happy with the purchase. I'd just like to see Shure put a little more effort into the "cosmetics" of the connection at the 1/4" inch end of this thing.

This cable allows me to expand the use the body pack as as a lavalier mic and instrument cable.

No issues. Significantly cheaper than the official Line 6 replacement part. Gig regularly and it hasn't let me down.
