Introduction

Balanced audio cables play a critical role in transmitting audio signals, especially over longer distances, while minimizing noise and interference. The Furutech FA-αS21 is specifically designed to provide optimal signal transfer with reduced noise, making it an excellent choice for high-fidelity audio applications. Its use of high-purity Alpha-OCC conductors, advanced insulation, and Furutech’s Pure Transmission Technology ensures that your audio equipment performs at its full potential, delivering accurate, detailed, and dynamic sound.

Key Features

1. Alpha-OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper Conductors
   • The FA-αS21 features Furutech’s high-purity Alpha-OCC copper conductors. The OCC process produces copper with an ultra-high purity level and a long, continuous grain structure, resulting in superior conductivity and minimal signal loss. This ensures a cleaner, more accurate signal transmission, allowing your audio equipment to reproduce sound with greater clarity and detail.
2. Balanced Cable Design
   • The FA-αS21 is a balanced cable, featuring dual conductors and a ground wire, which helps to eliminate noise and interference. This balanced configuration is ideal for professional audio applications and high-end home audio systems, as it ensures that the audio signal remains intact and free from external noise, even over longer cable runs.
3. Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetization Treatment
   • Furutech applies its proprietary Alpha (α) Cryogenic and Demagnetization treatment to the conductors. This treatment reduces internal stresses within the copper and enhances conductivity, resulting in smoother signal transmission and a more natural sound with reduced distortion.
4. High-Quality Insulation and Shielding
   • The FA-αS21 is insulated with high-quality polyethylene (PE) dielectric, which provides excellent electrical insulation properties. This insulation minimizes signal loss and interference, ensuring that your audio signal remains clean and accurate. The cable also features a braided shield that provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
5. Pure Transmission Technology
   • Furutech’s Pure Transmission Technology ensures that every component of the FA-αS21 is optimized for maximum signal transfer. This technology reduces distortion and interference, resulting in a more transparent, detailed, and dynamic sound.
