The Plug Ugly is terminated to a female 1/4" jack, allowing you to use any length guitar cable. Best of all, the PU is designed to withstand not only the demands of touring, but also that of just being a klutz. A good dose of silicon is fastened to the mic AND the jack, so that pressure and vibrations are absorbed throughout the body, NOT the piezo element. The result is a contact mic that is extremely durable. Highly recommended for percussive use, harsh noise abuse, and quite possibly elephants. Cable not included.
