DC-3398 Series

 

“The DC-3398 is now available with a straight plug version!”

Since its release in June 2016, the ‘DC-3398LL’ has introduced a new perspective among guitarists and bassists—that changing a DC cable can transform the sound. Because simply replacing the DC cable delivers noticeable improvements in sound quality, the ‘DC-3398LL’ continues to be highly regarded and widely supported by many users.

That said, the right-angle plug sometimes interfered with patch cables or effects housings, limiting where it could be used. As a result, more and more DC-3398LL users have been requesting a straight plug version each year. In response to these growing needs, Oyaide has finally developed an entirely original straight plug model.

The evolution of the DC-3398 goes beyond simply adopting a straight plug. To ensure compatibility with effects units whose DC jacks are recessed into the chassis, the straight plug is equipped with a ‘two-step spacer.’ This design makes it possible to use the cable with certain effects pedals that the conventional DC-3398LL could not accommodate.

Often described as the ‘power cable for effects pedals,’ a DC cable is a crucial element in unlocking the full potential of your gear. With the noise-resistant dedicated twisted cable for the DC-3398 and the unparalleled conductivity of the high-grade audio copper conductor ‘Precision Conductor 102SSC,’ this synergy elevates your favorite effects pedals to an entirely new level.

Premium DC Cable with Precision Conductor 102SSC


The twisted cable used in the ‘DC-3398’ employs the high-quality audio wiring material ‘Oyaide 3398-18.’ Its conductor is made from Oyaide ’s proprietary audio-grade copper, the ‘Precision Conductor 102SSC,’ which maximizes the natural conductivity of copper to achieve outstanding transmission performance.DC-3398′ features an exceptionally thick AWG18 (0.75sq) conductor—rare for a DC cable. This design reduces conductor resistance and enhances power transmission efficiency. In addition, the insulator uses XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), which combines excellent electrical properties with high durability. Complying with the UL3398 standard, the cable offers high safety with a voltage rating of 300V and heat resistance up to 150°C, making it a truly high-spec wire material.

Twisted Structure for Noise Reduction

In the ‘DC-3398,’ the positive and negative wires are twisted at equal intervals to create a balanced structure. This symmetrical twist minimizes electromagnetic and external noise, ensuring noise resistance that can withstand the demands of live performance。

High-Quality DC Plug

Rare gold-plated plugs are used for DC plugs to improve conductivity and corrosion resistance.
The plugs are molded to withstand heavy-duty use involving frequent plugging and unplugging.

Newly Developed Straight Plug

At the base of the straight plug, a ‘two-step spacer’ has been added, allowing use even with DC jacks recessed deep into the chassis. With a total stroke of 4.5 mm, the two-step spacer ensures compatibility with virtually any effects pedal DC jack.

Handy Marking Stickers

Have you ever found it difficult to distinguish between the DC cables connecting your power supply and pedals when wiring your pedalboard?  The ‘DC-3398’ comes with identification marking stickers (two each in red, silver, and blue, for a total of six). These stickers make cable swapping and wiring identification much more convenient.

A Diverse Cable Lineup

A pedalboard is often considered an extension of a guitarist’s or bassist’s identity. To wire it beautifully and efficiently, having precise control over DC cable length is essential. The ‘DC-3398’ offers three connector variations (LL / LS / SS) and five different lengths (10cm, 20cm, 30cm, 50cm, and 90cm). This lineup makes it the ideal DC cable for accommodating a wide range of pedalboard setups while also contributing to improved sound quality.
