REFERENCE MKII IC

This state-of-the-art High End interconnect cable builds on the large 1.00 mm2 BRC conductors and the foremost FTDA® damping method.

A conductor free floating in a viscous longitudinal cotton fibre surround with high mechanical decrement provides efficient vibration absorption by as much as 50 times, vastly extending the attainable dynamic range. The SATI®/SDB insulation/binding combination steps down the distributed capacitance, relative permittivity and signal energy loss. The reinforced X-Shield® SE provides superior EMI suppression especially at LF and virtually eliminates electro-dynamic noise, generated in the shield. The thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) Elastollan®, used for jacketing, exemplifies high elasticity, dielectric long-term stability, exceptional vibration absorption, as well as excellent resistance to abrasions, tears and temperature fluctuations. With the unrivalled design attributes the Reference MkII IC presents music precisely with all nuances and emotions carefully retrieved. Excellent noise immunity makes it an ideal solution for professional recording studio applications as well.

Due to the cable construction complexity and excessive material consumption the initial burn-in period (time during which the best sonic performance is reached) is suggested as 100 hours of uninterrupted music playback at least. We highly recommend playing music of different genres.

Due to our policy of continuous product development, all specifications are subject to change without notice.
