It's a cable, what can I say. It gets the job done, quite soft and easy to lay out as one wants it. Nine meters is a workable length for me. I mainly use it for shorter runs from my Nord Stage 3 (via DI) to the mixer. No detectable noise was made from - or picked up by - this cable. There is however one irritating issue with the protective capsule: It keeps unscrewing itself. Even minor vibrations will make it loose. This, for me, is a limiting factor. I can not use it in every setting and every position. Yes, of course I've modified it with a bit of glue and it works, but I shouldn't have to. Hence, minus one star.
Over all, a very good cable for the prize, but be prepared for that small annoyance.
