Audiolund XLR to RCA/RCA to XLR Interconnect Cable ~ Ultimate 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 multiple various sizes of solid cores of 1*15GA + 1*18GA + 7 solid cores (24GA+26GA+28GA+29GA+29GA+32GA+32GA) of 5N OCC silver wires in both the positive signal and negative signal of multiple wire combinations
• Use 1*16GA GA Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 5N OCC silver cables in both the positive signal and negative signal
• A total of 4m x 9 solid cores of 15GA to 32GA of 5N OCC silver wires and 4m x 16GA Duelund tinned copper 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*16GA Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 5N OCC silver cables in the positive signal
• Use multiple various sizes of solid cores of 1*15GA + 1*18GA + 7 solid cores (24GA+26GA+28GA+29GA+29GA+32GA+32GA) of 5N OCC silver wires in the positive signal of multiple wire combinations
• A total of 2m x 9 solid cores of 15GA to 32GA of 5N OCC silver wires and 2m x 16GA Duelund tinned copper 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

XLR to RCA/RCA to XLR Interconnect Cable Ultimate Silver Series will have the best of Xtreme series and True Silver Series with very comprehensive sound of the Xtreme series mixed with the sound characteristics of Western Electric, the sound is very natural and smooth with quiet background, and also very musical. It also has the sweet, delicate, powerful and fast dynamic silver sound. Using a combination of XLR to RCA plugs to create a Interconnect Cable, it is an unbalanced XLR/RCA interconnect cable. 

Ultimate Silver series RCA/XLR Interconnect cable cross sectional area per meter per +/- channel in square millimeters is est. 3.13mm² (OCC Silver)  and 1.31mm² (Duelund copper).

1. If you like vintage Duelund Western Electric sound, can select Xtreme series
2. If you like modern 5N pure silver sound, can select True Silver series
3. If you like Duelund Western Electric sound, but would like to add pure silver sound characteristic too, can select Xtreme Silver series
4. If you like 5N pure silver sound, but would like to add Duelund vintage WE sound characteristic too, can select Ultimate Silver series
5. If you like both the Duelund Western Electric sound and the modern pure silver sound equally, can select Flagship series

My Humble Comments: If you like both the WE sounds and the Pure Silver sounds, confidently, you can select either Xtreme Silver series or Ultimate Silver series. The Ultimate Silver series has very strong modern pure silver sound characteristics, however, with added Duelund tinned copper cables, it adds the musicality of WE, sounds become relatively softer and smoother. It is highly recommended.

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.
