Description

The Exzellenz II cable is the bulk version for the following finished cables: 006050007 and 006051007. The cable has triple shielding to protect it from interference such as EMC radiation. Polyethylene (PE) reduces the capacitance problems of the cables, making the sound even more brilliant and spatial.

The Exzellenz II cable with the dual coaxial structure is the bulk cable for the following: 006041007, 00604202 and 006044007. The cable has double shielding to protect it from interference such as EMC radiation. Polyethylene (PE) reduces the capacitance problems of the cables, making the sound even more brilliant and spatial.

Compared to the NF-204 Micro AIR, the NF-104 Micro AIR has a conventional, coaxial architecture. In addition to the Micro AIR technology, another special feature of the NF-104 is the newly developed RCA connector, which is completely solder-free. Omitting the solder significantly reduces transition resistance and element formation. As the name suggests, the NF-104 harmonizes particularly well with the LS-104 speaker cable. Both cables are the perfect way of entering the world of Micro AIR technology.

Cable capacitance plays a decisive role, especially for audio cable connections between individual devices. As the signal sources are very weak and react sensitively to high cable capacitance, audio cables are virtually predestined for air insulation using air helix technology.

In addition to this, we have also developed a completely new and entirely solder-free RCA connector for the Referenz NF-1205 Air. It consists of several component parts that are only joined together during the course of the assembly process. As with the loudspeaker cable, the thin layer of enamel is first removed from the high-purity copper wires of the "Cross Link Super Speed" waveguide by machine. Then, the contact pin of the connector, which is made of tellurium copper, is pressure-grouted with the conductor using a force of 1.5 tonnes. The connection of the shielding is also completely new: It is now hermetically sealed with screws.

Cable capacitance plays a decisive role, especially for audio cable connections between individual devices. As the signal sources are very weak and react sensitively to high cable capacitance, audio cables are virtually predestined for air insulation using air helix technology.

New 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 newly developed XLR 180° plugs can each be rotated by +/- 45 degrees, i.e. +/- 90 degrees in total. The finishing touch for perfect cabling.

Digital-2405 AIR | RCA
High-end digital cable Quality: Referenz AIR Helix Point-to-Point
The Air Helix architecture of the Referenz Digital-2405 AIR is absolutely unique. We have developed a special clip that enables us to come as close as possible to perfect air insulation. Inside the cable, a large number of these clips form the supporting structure that keeps the helically-arranged conductors apart in the air and guides them through the shielding at a defined distance from each other. Cable flexibility is assured by means of two struts that ensure the clips remain together but also at a precise distance from one another. With coaxial cables, the shielding is generally also used as a ground wire. The Referenz Digital 2405, on the other hand, has a double-symmetric design with two positive and two negative conductors. This means that the shielding is completely separate and the signal remains free of interference. Even if it sounds paradoxical, thanks to the innovative air insulation in this cable, hi-fi becomes a simply breathtaking sound experience. Click here and discover the exciting details

Digital-2405 AIR Pure Silver | RCA
High-end digital cable Quality: Referenz AIR Helix Point-to-Point | Pure Silver
With the Digital-2405 AIR Pure Silver, the digital member of the AIR family is now also available as a pure silver cable. The dimensions, structure and arrangement of the conductors correspond to the respective copper versions. As with the LS-4005 AIR Pure Silver, LS-2405 AIR Pure Silver and LS-1205 Pure Silver, the signal conductors have been optimized. AIR technology is a milestone in our more than 40-year company history and is causing a sensation in the hi-fi industry worldwide. The approach itself sounds relatively banal: The physically induced losses must be minimized in order to transmit the original music signal as authentically and neutrally as possible. And, thanks to the AIR technology, loss-free transmission is closer than ever before. It leads to significantly better sound reproduction, which is not only subjectively audible but also objectively measurable. The insulation (or dielectric) of the AIR cables is practically perfect thanks to the air insulation, and hardly affects the sound at all. The structure, dimensions and arrangement of the conductors are optimized, and approach the limits of what is physically possible. Adding another highlight to this perfect audiophile foundation, we then focused on the conductor material of the cables. Copper in the appropriate purity is already a very good conductor. A superconductor, where electrical resistance is zero, would be perfect, of course. Unfortunately, superconducting materials require temperatures of at least -70 degrees. Under realistic operating conditions, the best conducting material we have is currently silver. At 61.35 S/m (Siemens pro Meter), its conductivity is approximately six percent superior to that of copper. However, this precious metal is about 100 times more expensive.

Gel absorber
HiFi gel absorber Quality: Exzellenz 20 kg/set of 4 (5 kg/pc)
High-end and hi-fi systems are a combination of high-precision and fragile devices. Perfectly attuned with each other, they are capable of playing back music in outstanding quality. To ensure that all components can work without interference, just like sensitive measuring equipment they need to be protected as far as possible against vibrations and shocks. Vibrations occur in various ways and can be transmitted by structure-borne or airborne sound. Such problems can be remedied by the use of so-called absorbers. The Exzellenz gel absorbers have a special gel mixture at their core that absorbs vibration energy. This allows you to decouple speakers and devices from the floor. You may think that decoupling the speakers in this way will suffice. However, as described above, there is also airborne sound, which agitates the surfaces of the devices. It is therefore a sensible measure to also decouple the devices from where they are standing. The same advice naturally applies to devices (such as CD players or hard disks) that generate their own mechanical vibrations. Such vibrations need to be prevented from influencing other components.

High-tech gel absorber
High-end gel absorber Quality: Referenz Weight classes from 5 to 40 kg.
High-end and hi-fi systems are a combination of high-precision and fragile devices. Perfectly attuned with each other, they are capable of playing back music in outstanding quality. To ensure that all components can work without interference, just like sensitive measuring equipment they need to be protected as far as possible against vibrations and shocks. Vibrations occur in various ways and can be transmitted by structure-borne or airborne sound. The combination of airborne and structure-borne sound mechanically stimulates all components in the hi-fi chain to vibrate. Studies show that this has a considerable impact on the sound. This Referenz absorber set provides a solid basis for sound without these vibrations. The absorbers have a special high-tech gel at their core which absorbs the vibration energy. For optimum decoupling of the devices and speakers the set includes twelve gel pads for different weight classes.
