Been solo for almost 3 years now, space saving is important at solo, "smaller venues", migrating my 2 channel mixer onto my speaker stand, just below my "Mackie Reach" powered speaker looks very tidy.
This short audio cable helps me avoid cables hanging around my sound gear, maybe more professional looking, but also avoiding unwanted noise being picked up from florescent lighting, bar freezers, etc.
Cable quality is superb, I expect another ten years trouble free use.
