REFERENCE MKII IC XLR (1.0m)
A premium XLR interconnect that links every detail of the music with care.
【REFERENCE MKII IC XLR (1.0m)｜High-Precision Interconnect Cable Compatible with Analog & Digital】
For those who want to value the amount of sonic information and the sense of positioning, REFERENCE MKII IC XLR (1.0m).
Employing technologies such as X-Shield®SE, SATI®, and FTDA®, this is an interconnect cable designed to pursue delicate musical expressiveness and a clear, transparent soundstage.
It is suited to systems where you want to convey as accurately as possible even the fine nuances of vocals and the spatial relationships of instruments. Rather than dramatically changing tonal character, it is a cable intended to carefully extract the information held by your playback equipment and amplifier, making it easier to check the contours and depth of the sound.
In addition, the cable impedance is tuned to 110Ω, so it can be used not only for analog signal transmission, but also for digital audio signal transmission between compatible devices.
For car audio, not only the performance of the cable itself matters, but also the compatibility with the connected equipment and the overall balance of the system. We will think together while checking your current configuration, so you can more easily feel where adjustments will bring about changes in sound. If you are considering a cable replacement, please tell us what you are dissatisfied with in your current sound and the kind of listening presentation you are aiming for.
