Know before you buy
The Horus cable is crafted from ultra-purity OCC gold-plated silver. This combination is chosen to balance the conductivity of silver with the refined, smooth tonal characteristics provided by the gold plating.
The proprietary ferrite shielding is designed to minimize electromagnetic interference. By reducing background noise and signal degradation, it helps maintain a cleaner, more transparent audio signal from your source to your earphones.
No, the cable is designed with EA UltraFlexi insulation. This material ensures the cable remains soft and pliable, preventing the tangling and microphonics often associated with high-end, multi-strand cables.
The PSquared connector is a collaborative design with Oyaide, a renowned Japanese audio component manufacturer. It is engineered to provide a more secure, high-conductivity connection that improves signal transfer compared to standard connectors.
The Horus is available with MMCX, 2-Pin, or 2-Pin Flat earphone connectors. For the source end, you can choose between 2.5mm balanced, 3.5mm single-ended, or 4.4mm balanced terminations to match your specific audio player or DAC.
Multi-size stranding allows for optimized signal transmission across different frequencies. By using varying wire diameters, the cable manages the skin effect more effectively, resulting in a more balanced and detailed sound profile.
