The Equalizer line has been created to modify the spread and activity of the snare sound by working in conjunction with the snare drum's natural acoustics and snare bed design. Equalizers feature an off-set design that removes the strands from the middle of the drum; in effect decreasing the vibration of the wires. Not only is the result a drier and crisper sound, but the wires will be less influenced by sympathetic vibrations from other drums and instruments.

The Twisted Series are made from twenty double strands of Puresound's premium-grade steel-alloy wire that are coiled together in pairs; resulting in increased levels of dryness, articulation and response. They achieve that sound without requiring tight snare tension while also providing a significantly higher degree of sensitivity from the drum at any tension.

The snare wire for the 14" Pearl Free-floating snare drum has 16 strands, an overall length of 15 3/4", and a strand length of 14 7/8" (including the soldered area on each end-plate). Both end plates have modern configurations for attachement to the strainer and butt plate via string or strap. Puresound's Vintage Series snare wires are designed not only to replace worn and no longer available wires on vintage snares, they are also designed to enhance the performance of those classic drums.
