Please be careful on that one. When I was with Mackie it became very
clear that Chinese 1/4" jacks vary greatly in terms of base metal and
plating. We had MASSIVE problems due to poor quality Chinese jacks
that only showed their problems months or years later. What a
nightmare; it ended up killing two products and costing Mackie a few
million dollars.
I don't like much from Switchcraft except their 1/4" jacks and plugs.
They seem to do those better than anyone else, even though in general
I'm a Neutrik fan.
