Analysis Plus Copper Oval Interconnect Cable - XLR to XLR

Thumbs Up - audiodrom.net

Great Performance in a Compact Design

The Analysis Plus Copper Oval-In Micro Interconnect packs a lot of performance into a small cross-sectional area. Three 18 gauge conductors and FEP dielectric in a micro design give you a superb cable with a compact design.

Copper Oval-In Micro Interconnect was designed using the Analysis Plus patented hollow oval geometry to control current density in a form suitable for braiding from pure oxygen free copper. The signal lines are then wrapped with a shield to provide protection from EMI/RFI. The result is a super quiet, extremely neutral cable, priced well within any budget.

"Transparency, Clarity, a Deep and Wide Soundstage"

"If you are looking for transparency, clarity, a deep and wide soundstage, inky backgrounds, transient definition, rhythmic qualities and bottom-to-top balance, then look no further," advises Czech Republic audiophile journal audiodrom.net.

"The Copper Oval-IN does not overplay - it is not bright, it does not have boomy bass, and it is not overdetailed. Instead, it respects silences between notes, the natural development of sound, and musical realism. Thumbs Up!"

Patented Hollow Oval Conductor Design

The majority of cables on the market employ round diameter cables as conductors. Unfortunately, cylindrical cable designs have a number of serious drawbacks, including current bunching, skin effect phenomenon, and frequency effects that lower the performance of the cable.

After many computer simulations and other exhaustive tests, the engineers at Analysis Plus determined that a Hollow Oval cable constituted the best possible conductor design. The primary advantage of an oval conductor design rather than cylindrical conductor geometry is that the oval shape allows more of the return current to be closer to the outgoing current, thus reducing the negative effects associated with excessive current bunching.

Since the center part of the conductor is not used at high frequencies, Analysis Plus simply eliminates it. Using a hollow conductor helps minimize the change in resistance with frequency and the cable becomes more efficient.

Choose RCA or XLR Termination

The Analysis Plus Copper Oval-In Micro Interconnect is available with single ended RCA connectors or with balanced XLR connectors.
