It is terminated with modified metal plugs from Neutrik with silver-plated plugs. The symmetrical construction of the cable with a dense, double shielding makes the BS2X ideal for connecting an amplifier with balanced (symmetrical) inputs to a CD player, streamer, or DAC.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrown Sugar upgrades any sound system, regardless of where it is used. This high-tech interconnect consists of three conductors with different cross-sectional thicknesses. This reduced the unwanted skin effect. In addition, all conductors in it are separately insulated, and the whole structure is double shielded. The cable is terminated on one side with XLR plugs and on the other side with Neutrik XLR sockets, which are soldered with silver tin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncreasing the conductor's cross-section is one of the elements that enhances the overall performance of the XLR cable Melodika BS2X. According to Ohm's law, the resistance of the conductor is inversely proportional to its cross-section. Reducing resistance ensures that the quality and level of the transmitted electrical signal do not decrease. A larger cross-section also improves resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is crucial when there are many electrical devices nearby. This is particularly important for high-quality analog audio signals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Low-capacitance dielectric insulation with LDPE - low-density foamed polyethylene provides lossless signal transmission.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble shielding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shielding braid is made of copper with a minimum 99% coverage which ensures very high resistance to any interference. To further increase the shielding effectiveness, a layer of metalized Mylar foil was used, which ensures 100% coverage density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does double shielding provide? The braided copper shield is thicker and thus, absorbs more electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially at lower frequencies. On the other hand, the Mylar foil, which is the second shielding layer, absorbs less interference but offers better protection across a wider frequency spectrum. Double shielding is therefore an optimal solution, providing broad-frequency protection against interferences and their negative impact on the signal. Double shielding is therefore an optimal solution that introduces broad-frequency protection against interference and their negative impact on the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSpiral Litz Technology\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eeach braid is made of separately insulated and twisted wires which enables them to act as separate conductors, not as one large conductor. The total voltage of power amplifier's output flows in each of them. This type of solution prevents electrons from jumping from one strand to another and thus, eliminates the loss of the so-called subtle information. The most important benefit of this technology is the uniformity of the current distribution throughout the cable cross-section that increases the efficiency of current transmission. Skin-effect is reduced to minimum. Furthermore, the conductors’ insulation prevents copper oxidation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-Gauge Core Technology\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the special cable construction that responds to the fact that the wire thickness affects its electrical properties. Thus, Melodika BS2X Brown Sugar consists of strands of various thicknesses to deliver the best sound from low, medium and high tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo skin effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe higher the frequency transmitted through the line, the more the current tends to flow on the surface of the conductor. This occurs due to variable magnetic interactions of the current with itself. This is not a desirable phenomenon because with increasing frequency, the utilized surface area of the conductor decreases, resulting in increased cable impedance for high frequencies. The signal begins to flow unevenly (including phase shifts), leading to the loss of very quiet components, described as a lack of air or subtle information in listening experiences. Therefore, the Melodika Brown BSC1211 cable, on which the Melodika BS2X interconnect is based, features three different conductor thicknesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwisted Cores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of the spirally twisted braid reduces the cable's sensitivity to interference. As a result, the current induced in one conductor has the opposite direction to that in the neighboring one and thus, the disturbances cancel one another. This solution was invented in 1881 by Alexander Graham Bell (scientist, inventor of the telephone and dozens of other telecommunications inventions), who demonstrated that this arrangement reduces the impact of EMI and mutual interferences called crosstalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of materials used, precision, and durability of construction make us offer a 10-year warranty on all Melodika products, including the BS2X cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Melodika XLR interconnect is marked with the symbol BS2X, where \"BS\" is an abbreviation for the series name - Brown Sugar, \"2X\" stands for 2xXLR, and the numbers following this symbol indicate the cable length. Therefore, a cable with a length of 2.5m will have the symbol: BS2X25, and a cable with a length of 5m will be BS2X50. The Melodika BS2X Brown Sugar cable is available in lengths from 0.5m to 10m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"products_text\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"products_text\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n Brown Sugar Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConductor: High-quality 99.9999% OFC copper (6N)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNeutrik's rugged, modified metal plugs with silver-plated contacts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSpiral Litz Technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhanced resistance of insulation with a quadruple PVC\/PE coating allows the cable to be laid under plaster or concrete without risk of damaging it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarranty: 10 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in Poland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConductor: High-quality 99.9999% OFC copper (6N)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnector type: XLR\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eolid, modified Neutrik metal plugs with silver-plated plugs\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTin silver soldering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCable diameter: 8.2mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCable flexibility, cable refraction diameter: 65mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConductor cross-section: 2x 1.1mm2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDouble shielding: Mylar foil + copper braid with a minimum 99% coverage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConductor resistance: 25 Ohm\/km\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMutual capacitance of conductors: 115 pF\/m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow-capacitance LDPE dielectric insulation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpiral Litz Technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-Gauge Core Technology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShape: Round\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnhanced resistance of insulation with a quadruple PVC\/PE coating allows the cable to be laid under plaster or concrete without risk of damaging it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\nMelodika started with a simple belief: if the perfect cable doesn’t exist, you build it.
