Know before you buy
The 4ABM uses precision-twisted 22AWG HC-OFC conductors specifically designed for balanced signal transmission. This configuration, combined with dual shielding, effectively rejects electromagnetic interference for a clean, noise-free signal path.
The cable features a 100% aluminum wrap and a 100% aluminum mylar wrap. This dual-layer approach provides comprehensive protection against external noise and crosstalk, ensuring your audio remains pure and free from interference.
Yes, the connectors are crafted from solid brass and finished with gold plating to prevent oxidation and ensure a secure, long-lasting connection. Each connector is hand-soldered in Orlando, Florida, using high-quality lead-free solder for maximum reliability.
Despite its robust construction and dual shielding, the cable uses LDPE insulation and a flexible PVC jacket. This design allows for a manageable 0.28-inch diameter, making it easy to route through your audio rack or behind equipment.
The 22AWG High Conductivity Oxygen-Free Copper (HC-OFC) conductors offer a larger surface area than thinner gauge wires. This helps maintain signal integrity and provides improved performance in the lower frequency range, resulting in tighter, more accurate bass response.
