In developing our Air technology, we have proven that an audio cable’s insulation plays a decisive role and has a significant influence on the sound. This is due to dielectric losses and the electrostatic properties of the insulating materials, which burden the hi-fi system like heavy luggage and make it sluggish. By “omitting” this strain we then help the entire hi-fi chain to achieve top performance. We do this with special clips that guide the signal conductors through the cable in a row and freely suspended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA cable’s geometry also influences these factors. Bigger distances mean less load. This is exactly where our NF-4005 AIR comes in: The AIR helix design and the cable’s dimensions create even more space and air between the signal conductors. The cable thus forms a wide audiophile corridor and rolls out the red carpet, so to speak, for every sound detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew XLR 180° plug: It is only possible to insert XLR connectors in one direction. This can be annoying as the position of the XLR sockets in devices varies. In order for the cable to fit, it must sometimes be twisted by force. This puts a strain on cables, plugs and device sockets and sometimes simply looks a mess. The new XLR 180° plugs developed in-house can be rotated by +\/- 45 degrees, i.e., up to a total of +\/- 90 degrees from connector to connector. The finishing touch for perfect cabling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\" data-cms-element-id=\"698ef6796d204388b60f5f7affa8d2c5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cms-element-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"mt-4\"\u003eThanks to the Air Helix design, the conductors run freely suspended through the length of the cable.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Helix architecture permits signal conductors to be insulated to practically 100% by air. Special clips were developed to provide the supporting framework. Positioned at defined intervals inside the cables, these clips keep the helically-arranged conductors apart. Cable flexibility is assured by means of two struts that ensure the clips remain together but also at a precise distance from each other. This architecture is unique, bringing low capacitance and minimum dielectric losses – a true milestone in the search for open and unadulterated sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-6\" data-cms-element-id=\"3cc518f0ad5e41f79a01c0fb26ef5a39\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cms-element-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"mt-4\"\u003eOur physical approach: Minimize losses for true-to-original playback.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Referenz AIR cables transport audio signals between source, amplifier and speaker in an authentic way and with a minimum of loss. You can enjoy music that precisely expresses the emotions of the artists at the time of recording – sensual, subtle, light-hearted or orchestral right through to full-blooded and rocking. Vocals and instruments are delivered in unadulterated form. Everything remains vibrant and full of emotive energy. Favorite tracks and pieces continue to trigger strong feelings even when you’ve heard them a hundred time over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-center\"\u003eAIR Helix\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Air Helix architecture enables the signal conductors to run freely suspended through the length of the cable and permits signal conductors to be insulated to practically 100% by air.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-center\"\u003eThe Dielectric\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing air as a dielectric lowers capacitance to a minimum.

Specially designed transitions are available for each type of cable and connector. Across the complete length of the cable – point-to-point AIR Helix. It may sound trivial at first, but the results are impressive. Sound signals are transported with minimized losses, right through to the final centimeters. The sound is more detailed and dynamic than even before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe conductor structure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cross Link Super Speed waveguide avoids skin effects caused by eddy currents in the conductor. Thanks to the braided structure, the waveguide is able to precisely transport even extreme current peaks. A lacquer coating around each wire prevents eddy currents within the conductor and protects against oxidation. All this results in a conductor that delivers a balanced sound consisting of vibrant and never overemphasized timbres, even in complex musical passages and at high volume levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe conductor material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductor material is a crucial factor for the transmission of sound signals. Any contamination worsens the conductance and increases the background noise. We only use pure, oxygen-free copper in our AIR cables. We ensure that only carefully selected batches of pure copper are processed. We take great pains to measure the quality of the copper before it is sent to the mill for drawing to the required cross-section over the course of a multi-stage process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe shielding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMC interference, from sources such as mobile phone and WiFi networks, is constantly increasing. This interference impairs the sensitive audio signal. Interference occurs when signals of different frequencies overlap. This can result in unwanted distortions that have nothing to do with the original signal. Dense shielding is therefore essential to protect the extremely sensitive music signals from this interference so that even the finest details are preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCable manufacturing unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beating heart of in-akustik is our manufactory. This is where our success story is rooted – permeated by a congenial working atmosphere, a love of music and a passion for detail. At in-akustik, we believe musical enjoyment stems from a listening experience that remains as close as possible to the original recording and the artist’s interpretation of the piece. That’s why we boast a committed workforce that combines curiosity with a keen sense of precision. With a fascination for music and things that are really special – like the development of our complex AIR cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandmade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cable is handcrafted with the utmost care. Our extensive know-how and the qualifications of our team enable us to manufacture the complex cables in a customized manner. Apart from the finest of materials, our most important resource is the manual dexterity of our cable assemblers. In assembling our outstanding cables, they demonstrate meticulousness, composure and dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRigorous quality control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe manufacture in accordance with the highest standards. Rigorous quality control is carried out before, during and subsequent to assembly. We verify the tolerances of ever individual component. At every stage of manufacturing, we check the configuration and electrics for short-circuits. We also conduct functional and mechanical testing. No product leaves our manufacturing unit without a final quality check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDid you know...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e...that our NF-2405 AIR (2 x 1.5 m) is made up of 195 individual components? The copper wire used is 1,109 m long, and the PE monofilament is 388 m long. Containing 296 drill holes, the Air Helix design of this cable type demands great dexterity on the part of the assemblers when they’re threading through the conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eXLR 180° connector\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional XLR connectors are designed for fixed positioning, which often forces the cable to twist. This load causes increased mechanical stress. In contrast, our proprietary XLR 180° connector offers a unique and adjustable alignment that allows the connector to be rotated within a range of +\/- 90 degrees. This flexibility not only reduces the mechanical stress on the cable, it also enables optimum alignment of the cable in relation to the device sockets, which are often arranged differently from device to device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRhodium-coated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best cable requires optimum connection technology. We use tellurium copper, a harder metal alloy that maintains the high conductivity value. Much superior to that of brass connectors. The rhodium coating ensures long-lasting contact and corrosion resistance. The stable conductivity is even maintained with frequent conversions. This is better than gold contacts, which wear out quicker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePE network jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cables have a PVC sheath surrounded by a textile or plastic braid. This sheath is meant to protect the cable from mechanical damage. At in-akustik, we deliberately don’t use a PVC sheath in order to avoid capacitance and any consequent dielectric losses. The sheaths for AIR cables are made of polyethylene monofilaments. These hold the conductors tightly together, reduce microvibrations and allow extreme dynamic peaks to be processed in an unadulterated fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped
