The reference instrument cable for over a decade!
As used by David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and John Mayer!
The Forte encompasses the design priorities of Evidence Audio: to pass analog audio from point A to B with as little change as possible.
It's crafted and sounds quite like the Lyric HG.
However, by putting a coating on the strands instead of using single solid IGL conductors, the Forte is flexible and rugged: making it ideal for stage use.
Evidence Audio Forte vs Lyric HG?
The Forte solves the same problems as the Lyric HG but in a way that offers flexibility and ruggedness.
Touring? Move a lot on stage? The Forte is the one you need!
The Evidence Audio Forte Instrument Cable features:
• IGL-ECS conductors: Minimizes the effects of strand interaction, but retains flexibility of a common stranded cable.
• High Purity Copper: Open and extended midrange and highs without etching or glare.
• Semi-Balanced Geometry: Shield blocks noise instead of carrying your signal to preserve dynamics and dimensionality.
• Organic Insulation: Cotton wraps the conductors with a lower dielectric constant than polymers to preserve resolution and prevent smearing.
• 18 awg conductors: Uncommon cross-sectional area for incredible punch and authority without skin-effect anomolies.
• Neutrik connectors.
• Lifetime Warranty.
