Description
Balanced Audio ALC 1 metre
OFC series with Neutrik style XLR connectors
The Accuphase Balanced Oxygen-Free Copper Series cables use a densely braided outer conductor of oxygen free copper, reliably shielding the two twisted internal conductors also made of highly pure copper. The result is a high quality OFC interconnect with negligible transfer losses and excellent resistance to induced noise. The superb performance of these cables ensures that the sonic character of top-quality audio components connected in a system is fully preserved. Listeners are able to enjoy utterly natural, well balanced sound that gives free expression to the full musical spectrum.
To accommodate equipment with XLR type connectors, Accuphase offers the ALC-10B with 3-pin Neutrik type XLR connectors. In compliance with the BTS standard, pin one (1) is connected to the shield.
Features
- Centre conductor core wires are a combination of highly pure oxygen free copper wires and silver-plated soft copper wires, providing excellent transfer characteristics.
- Centre conductors are formed by a combination of two types of highly pure oxygen free copper wires of different diameter and a silver-plated soft copper wire type with low resistance. The insulation layer consists of polyethylene with high dielectric resistance and foamed polyethylene, resulting in a triple layer configuration, implemented in a dual-core design. Transfer losses as well as DC resistance are minimal.
- Shielding is provided by 192 ultra-fine 0.1 mm high purity copper wires braided to a high density, plus a layer of aluminium foil tape. This dual approach results in low capacitance and gives extra protection against any form of externally induced noise.
