This cable is used for connecting an external RCA/Phono line level stereo audio device outputs to a Naim Audio device using a 3 pin XLR audio input such as Naim Audio Amplifiers NAP 500 DR, NAP 300 DR
A high quality lead made using Van Damme Starquad silver-plated pure OFC and reinforced with a black Techflex braiding to last many years.
AUDIOPHILE GRADE Lead using quality audio materials and components.
Professionally handmade high quality audio leads.
Each cable is handmade and finished to a high standard using Oyaide SS- 47 Audio Grade Silver Solder for a complete professional finish. Each cable is then mechanically and electronically tested before dispatch.
Connectors:
Neutrik NC3MXX-B
3 pole male cable connector with black metal housing and gold contacts
The next generation of the worldwide accepted standard of XLR cable connectors. The successor of the X series offers several new features which make it more reliable, easier to assemble and improves contact integrity as well cable strain relief.
Amphenol
ACPR RCA/Phono plugs with smooth Satin body are high-end, professional-grade RCA connectors. Gold plated brass contacts enhance conductivity. Insulation prevents any shorting inside. Coloured rubber grommet for long lasting strain relief.
Soldered Terminations:
Oyaide SS-47 Audio Grade Silver Solder
The SS-47, the Oyaide original hi-fidelity solder, is produced in order to maximize the capacity of cables and connecters by eliminating its sound character.
After the careful consideration of the importance of the contact and joining area, Oyaide finally achieved to produce the high-fidelity audio specialized solder
They have tried to improve the quality by always selecting best material . There is no exception about this audio grade solder, SS-47. Compared to general solders which usually contain 3N (99.9%) pure tin, SS-47 contains 4N (99.993%) pure tin achieved by excluding impurities to the maximum
Furthermore, 4.7% silver and 1.7% copper are contained for the purpose of improvement of electric conductivity and durability.
Cable:
Van Damme Tour grade classic XKE Starquad miniature cable, Based on the proven Van Damme 6.00mm Classic Starquad, this miniature version features the same conductors but has a helical lapped copper screen for greater flexibility.
