Neutrik silentPLUG 1/4" TS Instrument Plug (Straight / Right-Angle)

Changing guitars mid-set should not sound like a speaker explosion. The Neutrik silentPLUG (NP2X-AU-SILENT / NPR2X-AU-SILENT) is a professional 1/4" TS instrument plug designed to automatically mute the signal during plug/unplug, helping prevent pops and squeals when swapping instruments under load.

Built with a rugged metal shell, gold-plated contacts, and Neutrik’s proven strain relief design, this is a premium connector choice for custom instrument cables and pro repair builds. It is made specifically for instrument (guitar) applications.
