Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid Conductors

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

Long-Grain Copper Metal

High-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors minimise distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Level 1 Direction Controlled Noise Dissipation

All 19 HDMI conductors are Direction-Controlled to reduce RF noise.

eARC LGC Level 1 ND

This eARC conductor pair features Solid Long-Grain Copper conductors and Level 1 Noise-Dissipation to ensure superior audio performance.
