Description

FAT sound that covers the mid-low range
The F201 Fatman offers high sound quality, noise resistance, and flexibility, making it ideal for live performances as well as audio interfaces/MTRs!

Conventional so-called "high-end cables" have focused too much on improving the performance of the cable itself, and as a result have not been able to adequately achieve the most important thing: transmitting the player's sound as is.
The F201 model Fatman in the Platinum Link series uses a unique core wire configuration, NCW1 OFC, for the conductor, eliminating the unnecessary sound components that are generally found in ``high-end cables.'' Without compromising the original sound, it provides a more natural, fat sound that fully covers the mid-low range, which is the most important for guitar sound.
It also has a powerful effect on preventing the loss of high frequencies and thinning of sound that often occurs when running long cables.
In addition, electromagnetic noise is blocked out by using an ultra-dense braided shield and carbon-containing conductive vinyl.
It protects the sound from the floor-knocking noise that occurs when using the product, high-frequency noise from televisions and radios, and noise generated by motors, etc.
The plugs used are all 24-karat gold-plated Providence NP-14G Long/Mid and NP-14GL Mid (91° L-type plugs), which best match the sound desired by the F201 cable.

[NP-14GL Mid]
24K gold plated, L-type plug (mid-type)
The L-type plug features Providence's unique 91° angle (patented utility model) that allows for smooth insertion and removal, reducing strain on the jacks of guitars and other equipment. It's also extremely easy to use with angled jacks, such as those commonly found on wah pedals.

[Providence cable has been renewed]
The sound of each model remains the same, but with even greater clarity.

In 2023, Providence cables were renewed (excluding some models).
For the renewal, we re-examined the raw materials used and the manufacturing process, which can be described as a series of craftsmanship, and revised some of them.
All models, which are compatible with a variety of musical styles, deliver a clear sound that is even more articulate than previous models and won't get lost in an ensemble.
This shielded cable is in line with Providence's theme of "responding to the sound demanded by each era" and meets the needs of today's players, whose musical environment is changing rapidly.

[NP-14G Long/Mid]
・24K gold plated, straight plug (long type)
The long plug cap is designed to make it easy to insert and remove, even with a Stratocaster's boat-shaped jack. The plug shaft is φ6.3mm, which fits perfectly into the inch-sized jacks used on most guitars. This makes it difficult to come loose, and also increases the number of contact points between the plug and jack, which has a positive effect on sound quality.

・24K gold plated, straight plug (mid type)
The mid-type plug cap is designed to easily connect to a guitar's side jack, amplifier, or effects pedal. The plug shaft is φ6.3mm, which fits perfectly into the inch-sized jacks used on most guitars. This has the advantage of making it less likely to come loose, and also provides more contact between the plug and jack, which has a positive effect on sound quality.

[NP-14GL Mid]
・24K gold plated, L-type plug (mid-type)
The L-type plug features Providence's unique 91° angle (patented utility model) that allows for smooth insertion and removal, reducing strain on the jacks of guitars and other equipment. It's also extremely easy to use with angled jacks, such as those commonly found on wah pedals.
