Interconnect Cables

422 ( RCA > RCA)
422 Interconnect Cable

The fourth-generation 422 interconnect cable sets a new standard for both absolute performance and cost-effectiveness. Slender, flexible, and robust, 422 exploits the exceptional noise-rejection properties of a classic star-quad geometry. The optimally sized conductors exhibit minimal skin-depth related phase shift within the audio frequency range, and are insulated with thin-wall Teflon to prevent undesirable energy storage. Unshielded 422 offers the ultimate potential in terms of openness, dynamic contrast, and natural timbral reproduction, allowing the music to emerge from a deep, silent background.
  • Twisted-Quad geometry
  • Silver-plated copper conductors
  • Teflon* insulation and inner jacket
  • Abrasion-resistant protective net sleeve
  • Neutrik ProFi RCA, XLR, or TRS connectors
  • Shielded or Unshielded configurations
422 is priced at $20.00 per foot, plus $115 for termination, per cable.

422X Unshielded Balanced Interconnect Cable

The custom 422X configuration adds a discrete external ground wire, facilitating Unshielded Balanced operation.

Unshielded Balanced 422X is priced at $25 per foot plus $115 for termination, per cable.

222 Interconnect Cable

222 is a simplified, lower-cost twisted-pair cable, sharing most of the design features of 422.
  • Twisted-pair geometry
  • Silver-plated copper conductors
  • Teflon* insulation and inner jacket
  • Abrasion-resistant protective net sleeve
  • Neutrik RCA, XLR, or TRS connectors
  • Shielded or Unshielded Single-ended operation
  • Shielded Balanced operation
222 is priced at $16.00 per foot, plus $63 termination, per cable.
(Add $25.00 for balanced XLR or TRS termination, per cable.)
