REFERENCE MKII IC (4.35m)
A single unit that lets even the nuances of music come through—connected by the REFERENCE MKII IC.
【REFERENCE MKII IC(4.35m)｜High-Quality Interconnect Cable】
When you want to further refine the sound of your car audio, it’s not only the equipment—such as an amplifier or DSP—that matters. Interconnect cables that connect your components are also an important part that influences the overall sound impression.
REFERENCE MKII IC(4.35m) is an interconnect cable designed with an emphasis on the definition and depth of the sound, as well as the accuracy of tone. It makes the relative positioning of vocals and instruments easier to understand, and is well suited for those who want to listen carefully to soundstage width and even subtle details. Rather than changing the sound dramatically, it’s a cable intended to convey the information your system already has as naturally as possible.
The jacket uses a proprietary thermoplastic polyurethane. Combined with a dielectric developed by Germany’s BASF, it is also designed with attention to vibration. In addition, the cable impedance is tuned to 110Ω, enabling not only analog signal transmission but also digital audio signal transmission.
A length of 4.35m can be convenient depending on your vehicle’s system configuration and where the equipment is installed. However, you’ll still want to confirm cable routing and compatibility with the connected devices before choosing. If it were me, I wouldn’t decide the cable first by itself; I would review your current system configuration and the sound you’re aiming for, then整理 the locations to be replaced.
Even with the same cable, the final impression can change depending on where it’s integrated and how you handle the surrounding wiring. We’ll guide you while considering the best direction together—including whether the REFERENCE MKII IC(4.35m) suits your current system.
