  • Cable connector having high resolution adjustable capacitance and method for using the same
    Patent number: 9264006
    Abstract: A cable connector configured to receive a sound signal and alter the tonality of the sound by switching among a plurality of capacitors. The cable connector comprises a switch coupled to a binary coded plurality of capacitors. The cable connector receives an input signal corresponding to a sound through a conductor, which is also coupled to the switch. The switch may be used to select one of a plurality of capacitances, affecting the tonality of the sound. A cable implementing the cable connector and a method for using the cable connector are also disclosed.
