REFERENCE MKII IC (1.65m)
A single choice designed to convey the expression of sound more naturally.
【REFERENCE MKII IC (1.65m) | High-Grade Interconnect Cable】
When you want to further refine the sound of your car audio, it’s not only the speakers and amplifier that matter—the interconnect cables that link your components are also an important part that affects how well the sound comes together.
REFERENCE MKII IC (1.65m) is an interconnect cable that supports transmission of digital audio signals as well as analog signals. By tuning the cable to 110Ω, it is designed to handle digital audio transmission too.
Incorporating a wealth of patented technologies, it is engineered with a focus on sound definition and depth, clarity, imaging, and tonal reproduction consistency. It’s suited for those who want the music to feel more organized—rather than simply louder or flashier—down to the placement of vocals and instruments and the subtle nuances.
The jacket uses a proprietary thermoplastic polyurethane, and when combined with a dielectric developed by German company BASF, it also takes vibration into consideration. In a high-end car audio system, the finished result can vary depending on cable length, routing, and compatibility with the connected equipment—so it’s important to choose while considering the entire system, not just by swapping cables.
At LogOn, after confirming your current system configuration and your sound preferences, we work with you to think about which part of the setup this cable is most likely to enhance. If you want a bit more clarity in your current sound, want to organize the soundstage, or want to draw out your equipment’s performance carefully, please tell us about your vehicle and system.
Because this is a made-to-order product, arrangements will be made after you place your order.
