Furutech Audio Reference III XLR - Audiophile XLR Interconnect Cable

Furutech has a long history of using innovative technology to enhance audio quality. Their top-of-the-line double-shielded α (Alpha)-OCC conductor interconnects, power cords, and digital cables, known as Furutech Reference III, are built with exceptional precision and utilize Formula GC-303 antimagnetic EMI-absorbent modules to provide superior resolution, increased dynamics, and outstanding performances from all components. Additionally, all connectors are rhodium-plated to ensure optimal signal transfer.

α (Alpha) Conductor Is Composed Of Fine PCOCC Wire Strands Treated With Furutech’s α (Alpha) Cryogenic and Demagnetizing Process

Features

• Double-shielded α (Alpha)-OCC Conductors eliminate radiated noise
  
• Formula GC-303 Antimagnetic EMI-Absorbent Modules surround each cable
  
• High performance beautifully engineered rhodium plated XLR [FP-601M/602F (R)] connectors
  
• XLR pins [FP-601M (R)/602F (R)] high-contact luxuriously-finished nonmagnetic rhodium-plated phosphor bronze for stable Furutech Pure Transmission signal
• Shield 1 0.12 mm α (Alpha) conductor wire braid
• Shield 2 special EMI-absorbent Formula GC-303 Modules for superior noise isolation
  
• Insulated with air-foamed HDPE reducing capacitance and damping vibration
  
• Results in greater resolution, clarity, powerful dynamics, and an ultra-quiet soundstage in which music develops more fully without artificial upper-frequency “presence region” glare.
  
• GC-303 allows a deeper, tighter bass to form a solid foundation for the rest of the frequency range, better defining the original recording’s venue. Natural, unforced detail reveals nuance and energy for an engaging musical experience.
• FP-601 M(R) and FP-602 F(R) XLR connectors
• Made in Japan
