Description
Designed and handcrafted with multiple combinations of Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 5N OCC silver wires, carefully fine-tuned to achieve the highest sound quality and minimize signal transmission loss.
Audiolund XLR to RCA/RCA to XLR Interconnect Cable ~ Xtreme Silver Series
- Upgrade Version: The constructions of XLR/RCA cables are revised to improve sound quality
1. Standard XLR to RCA format
- It is constructed as per the standard XLR to RCA with Pin-1 and Pin-3 connected to ground (Transformer coupled outputs)
- Use 1*12GA + 1*20GA Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 5N OCC silver cables in both the positive signal and negative signal
- Use multiple various sizes (8 solid cores of 18GA+24GA+26GA+28GA+29GA+29GA+32GA+32A) of 5N OCC silver wires in both the positive signal and negative signal
- A total of 4m x 12GA + 4m x 20GA Duelund tinned copper wires and 4m x 8 solid cores of 18GA to 32GA of 5N OCC silver wires are used for 1.0 meter pair + 2m x silver plated/copper wires for grounding
2. XLR to RCA with Pin-3 Open
- It is constructed as per the MERGING+NADAC’s method, same for Benchmark, Weiss and others
- Use 1*12GA + 1*20GA Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 5N OCC silver cables in both the positive signal
- Use multiple various sizes (8 solid cores of 18GA+24GA+26GA+28GA+29GA+29GA+32GA+32A) of 5N OCC silver wires in the positive signal
- A total of 2m x 12GA + 2m x 20GA Duelund tinned copper wires and 2m x 8 solid cores of 18GA to 32GA of 5N OCC silver wires are used for 1.0 meter pair + tinned copper shields for grounding
3. XLR to RCA with Pin-3 Open added 10K Ohm resistor to ground
- Use various types and multiple layers of shielding materials for shielding to reduce noise and RFI/EMI interference
- With unique damping design, use various types of anti-vibration/damping materials to suppress vibration and isolation
- 1.0m standard length with other length options
XLR to RCA/RCA to XLR Interconnect cable Xtreme Silver Series uses 8 solid cores of 18GA to 32GA per signal path of 5N OCC silver wires mixed with 12GA + 20GA Duelund tinned copper wires. Xtreme Silver series has the very comprehensive and almost perfect sound of the Xtreme series, with the sound characteristics of Western Electric. The sound is very natural and smooth with a quiet background, and most importantly, it is very musical. The Xtreme Silver series also has a sweet, delicate, powerful and fast dynamic sterling silver sound.
The Xtreme Silver series XLR to RCA/RCA to XLR Interconnect cable is designed to have both the sound characteristics of WE and modern pure silver sound characteristics. It is a balanced sound characteristic of WE and pure silver, thus it could match well with most of the High-end system.
The Xtreme Silver series RCA/XLR Interconnect cable cross sectional area per meter per +/- channel in square millimeters is est. 1.48mm2 (OCC Silver) and 3.83mm2 (Duelund copper).
My Humble Comments: If you like both the WE sounds and the Pure Silver sounds; and if you can’t decide between the Xtreme Series and True Silver Series, then the best choice will be the Xtreme Silver series.
- If you like vintage Duelund Western Electric sound, can select Xtreme series
- If you like modern 5N pure silver sound, can select True Silver series
- If you like Duelund Western Electric sound, but would like to add pure silver sound characteristic too, can select Xtreme Silver series
- If you like 5N pure silver sound, but would like to add Duelund vintage WE sound characteristic too, can select Ultimate Silver series
- If you like both the Duelund Western Electric sound and the modern pure silver sound equally, can select Flagship series
1) Default: Red copper + Black Strip with Black Backgrounds
2) Red copper + Red Strip with Black Background
Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require a long time to run in. OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to run in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours.
