Product Information
Full details
The REAN Silent Jack (NYS224S) is designed for professional musicians and sound engineers who frequently swap instruments during live performances. Its primary benefit is the integrated silent switching mechanism that prevents loud pops and hums when disconnecting a cable, though users should note that this connector is specifically engineered for mono signal paths rather than stereo applications.

FAQs
Does this work for stereo signals?
No, this is a mono connector specifically designed for instruments like guitars and basses.
Do I need a special cable for this?
No, it is compatible with standard shielded instrument cables, provided you have the soldering skills to attach it.
Can I use this for speaker cables?
This connector is designed for instrument-level signals and is not recommended for high-power amplifier-to-speaker output.
Is the silent feature battery-operated?
No, the silent feature is entirely mechanical and requires no power source.
How do I ensure the silent feature stays active?
The mechanism is automatic; as long as the plug is fully extracted, the signal path is interrupted.
Troubleshooting
No signal output when plugged in
Verify that the signal wire is soldered to the correct terminal and that the sleeve is properly grounded.
Intermittent popping noise
Check if the internal switch is making full contact; ensure the cable is fully inserted into the instrument input.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents annoying pops and crackles when hot-swapping instruments
- Extremely durable metal casing suitable for stage use
- Standard 6.35mm size fits almost all guitar and bass inputs
- Simplifies workflow for live performers switching between guitars
Cons
- Mono configuration only; not suitable for stereo signal cables
- Requires careful soldering techniques due to the internal switching mechanism
- Slightly bulkier than standard non-silent connectors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your cable is properly stripped and cleaned before soldering to the internal terminals. Because of the silent switching component, it is important to verify the signal wire is soldered to the correct contact point to allow the switch to engage properly. For maintenance, keep the metal contacts free from dust and debris by occasionally wiping with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners on the internal mechanism as it may interfere with the switching spring. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion of the internal contact points.
