Know before you buy
Matched Propagation technology is designed to eliminate signal smearing and jitter. By matching the conductor's propagation rate to the dielectric, it ensures that the signal arrives at the output with greater phase accuracy and clarity.
This specific model is configured with 1/4-inch connectors, which are standard for single-ended headphone connections. While the internal construction utilizes Cardas' advanced balanced-style geometry, the physical interface is designed for standard 1/4-inch jacks.
By running a dedicated cable for each ear, the design minimizes crosstalk and interference between channels. This separation helps maintain a wider, more precise soundstage and improves overall channel separation.
Yes, the cable features an Alcryn jacket covered by a fabric braid, which provides a good balance between durability and flexibility. It is designed to be manageable while remaining robust enough to protect the high-purity copper conductors inside.
Cardas Grade One Copper is 99.9999% pure oxygen-free copper that is drawn in a proprietary process to ensure a perfect, grain-free structure. This high level of purity and structural integrity is intended to provide a more neutral and transparent signal path compared to standard copper.
