Know before you buy
The Alpha process is a cryogenic and demagnetizing treatment applied to the PCOCC conductors. It helps stabilize the metal's molecular structure, which reduces signal distortion and improves overall clarity and transparency in your audio chain.
Yes, the balanced design and robust shielding make these cables excellent for longer runs. Because they are balanced, they are highly effective at rejecting electromagnetic interference and noise, even in complex professional setups.
Despite the high-end construction and shielding, the cable uses an audio-grade flexible PVC jacket. It is designed to be manageable and easy to route, even in tighter spaces behind your audio rack.
PCOCC stands for Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting. This process creates a single-crystal copper structure with virtually no grain boundaries, allowing for a more direct and uncolored signal path compared to standard copper cables.
Yes, Douglas Connection offers customizable lengths for these cables. This allows you to avoid excess cable clutter and maintain a clean, efficient signal path tailored to the exact distance between your components.
