Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid Conductors

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

Metal

High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimise distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Noise Dissipation

Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation shields noise effectively, absorbing and reflecting most RFI before it reaches the ground layer.

Insulation

Hard-Cell Foamed-Polyethylene's high air content minimises energy absorption for clearer sound.

Direction Controlled

All conductors controlled for RF-noise directionality.

DESCRIPTION

Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
Provides smoother, clearer sound with fewer impurities and grain boundaries than regular OFHC copper. Prevents strand interaction, reducing distortion.

Direction-Controlled Conductors
Controls RF impedance variation to drain noise away. Arrows on connectors indicate optimal direction for superior sound quality and noise dissipation.

Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Absorbs and reflects RF energy before it reaches the ground layer, preventing signal distortion by shielding the shield.

Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Maintains stable signal-pair geometry and reduces distortion with nitrogen-injected insulation that creates air pockets and stable impedance.

Double-Balanced Geometry
Designed for single-ended applications, offering lower impedance on the ground for a richer, more dynamic experience.

Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Terminations
Uses a high-pressure technique for distortion-free connections, choosing metal for low distortion rather than machinability.
