Pure Tone has developed a high quality 1/4" three pole (stereo) jack using a new patented design that improves upon and offers a more reliable connection than standard 1/4" jacks. The Pure Tone design features two springs for both the tip connection, a spring for the ring, and an additional spring for the shield connection. These help to secure the plug into place and create a greater surface area connection at contact points to improve stability and signal integrity. These jacks also increase the current capability of 1/4" connections.

Pure Tone’s new long threaded three pole (stereo) 1/4" jack provides full contact for improved connections and signal integrity. This jack locks the cable securely into place creating a greater surface area connection to carry more signal for an improved frequency stability. This jack is a great choice for both mono and stereo applications as well as guitars using active electronics.
