Know before you buy
This cable is designed for high-end headphones that utilize dual 4-pin mini XLR inputs, such as many models from Kennerton and other brands using this specific balanced configuration. Please verify your headphone's input jacks match this 4-pin layout before purchasing.
Litz wire construction is specifically engineered to mitigate skin and proximity effects, which can cause signal loss at higher frequencies. Using high-quality Soviet Era Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) ensures excellent conductivity and a clean, reliable signal path.
The air dielectric design minimizes signal interference and capacitance between conductors. This helps preserve the integrity of the audio signal from your amplifier, ensuring that subtle nuances and high-frequency details are not lost.
Yes, the cable features a nylon outer braid that provides a balance between durability and flexibility. While it is built to be robust, the natural silk insulation inside keeps the cable manageable and comfortable for extended listening sessions.
Each individual strand is coated in enamel to prevent oxidation, which can degrade audio performance over time. This ensures the cable maintains its sonic clarity and conductivity throughout its lifespan.
