Know before you buy
This cable is specifically designed for the Meze Audio Elite and Empyrean headphones, which utilize the 4-pin mini-XLR connection standard.
Furukawa PCUHD (Pure Copper Ultra High Draw) is a high-purity, oxygen-free copper that minimizes impurities. This construction helps ensure a cleaner, more transparent signal path for your audio.
The 8-to-4 braid configuration provides a robust, low-impedance path for the signal while maintaining flexibility. It is designed to be durable enough for daily use without becoming stiff or prone to tangling.
A 'Grade A' rating indicates that the item is in excellent, like-new condition with minimal to no signs of use. It also includes the full manufacturer's warranty, providing the same coverage as a brand-new unit.
Jensen 4% silver solder is used to ensure a high-conductivity connection at the termination points. This helps maintain signal integrity and prevents the degradation that can occur with lower-quality soldering materials.
