Professional Plug for Guitars

Sweetwater guitarists know that their tone is affected by every component in their signal path — even the plug! That’s why our serious tone junkies love this NP2RX-AU-SILENT Plug from Neutrik. It’s a 2-pole, right-angle, 1/4-inch professional plug with hermetically sealed gold-plated contacts, a silent switch that automatically mutes when changing instruments under load to avoid noise, and a rubber cushion overlay for excellent shock protection. Based on REED technology, its integrated silent switch has a guaranteed lifetime of at least 1,000 mating cycles; plus, the plug is easy to handle, thanks to its streamlined design.

Neutrik NP2RX-AU-SILENT Plug Features:

  • Integrated silent switch automatically mutes your guitar cable when switching instruments so you don’t hear squeals or pops
  • Guaranteed lifetime beyond 1,000 mating cycles
  • Rubber overlay for shock protection and reliability
  • Sleek design for easy usage
  • Gold-plated hermetically sealed switching contacts

Rated 5/5

My standard choice since 2010

In my opinion, Neutrik have the best quality connectors in the world and you realize that when you weld and build your own cables. Every model of Neutrik is amazing and the 2 options of Silent Plugs are perfect (NP2X-AU-Silent and NP2RX-AU-Silent).

Today, I think there is no better option to connect your instruments to your interface, your amp/head or even in a studio, you won´t hear any accidental noise when you disconnect the cable, even if someone step on your cable in the middle of a show and you get unplugged. It's my standard choice for connectors.

I bought my old NP2X-AU-Silent connectors in Amazon so many years ago (more than 10 years) and they still work perfectly. I recently bought a pair of NP2RX-AU-Silent to build 2 sets of cables. Unfortunately, one of them came faulty, the silent switch wasn't working (I will add a video). Thanks to the Sweetwater team they gave me a replacement and it's perfect.

I will upload the pictures of: my cables with Silent connectors, the old ones and the new ones (the NP2RX-AU-Silent and the NP2X-B bought in Sweetwater), my 2 basses using the NP2RX-AU-Silent, the faulty unit and finally, the cable with the new connector.

Used for years without issues

I was skeptical of this design but I've used them for years now without issue. Hopefully Sweetwater will begin stocking the straight version as well (NP2XX-SILENT)
Rated 2/5

Not ready for prime time

I bought one of these back in July and it worked great up until with what I think is the weak link, the switch spring, lost it's...spring. The switch will no longer extend and I ended up with a regular jack. I think if it is equipped with a stronger spring and a way to replace it, it would be something to have. I used it with a Shure GLXD+ remote system and it was great right up until it wasn't. There's always room for improvement so maybe pass this on to Neutrik. For effort, I will give it two stars.
