Know before you buy
Yes, the HC-15 is specifically engineered for the Focal Utopia headphones and utilizes the required dual Lemo push-pull connectors.
The cable features a standard Hart Audio modular connector, allowing you to swap out the termination end—such as 4-pin XLR or 4.4mm—without needing to replace the entire cable.
A balanced design helps reduce noise and interference, which can result in a cleaner signal path and improved channel separation when paired with a balanced amplifier.
Yes, provided you select the 3.5mm TRS interconnect option when ordering, or use an existing Hart Audio 3.5mm modular interconnect.
The HC-15 is manufactured at a fixed length of 4.5 feet to ensure optimal signal integrity and manageability for desktop listening setups.
The 'Cable Only' option does not include an interconnect, which is ideal if you already own a Hart Audio modular interconnect system. Pre-terminated versions include the specific connector you select at checkout so the cable is ready to use immediately.
