• Package: Comes as a set of 2 binding posts
• Rhodium-Plated α (Alpha) Pure Copper Conductors: The FT-818(R) is equipped with rhodium-plated α (Alpha) pure copper conductors. This high-purity copper ensures optimal conductivity and signal transfer, while the rhodium plating provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, maintaining a consistent and high-quality connection over time.
• Torque-Control Mechanism: Furutech’s torque-control design prevents over-tightening, ensuring that your speaker cables are securely connected without damaging the posts or cables. This feature guarantees a stable connection, minimizing signal loss and enhancing the overall sound quality.
• Carbon Fiber Finished Shell: The binding posts feature an attractive carbon fiber finished shell, which not only adds a sophisticated aesthetic but also enhances structural integrity and provides extra shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and vibrations. This ensures that your audio signal remains clean and unaltered.
• Non-Magnetic Stainless-Steel and Brass Construction: The FT-818(R) is constructed with non-magnetic stainless steel and high-quality brass, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference and vibration, preserving signal integrity for a cleaner and more detailed sound experience.
• Versatile Cable Compatibility: These binding posts can accommodate various cable types, including spades, banana plugs, and bare wire, offering flexibility and compatibility with different audio setups.
• Insulated Housing: The posts have an insulating layer to prevent short circuits and electrical interference, ensuring safe and reliable connections.

Performance Benefits:

• Exceptional Signal Transfer: The rhodium-plated α (Alpha) pure copper conductors offer superior conductivity, resulting in clear, transparent, and highly detailed audio reproduction. This ensures that you experience the full potential of your audio system, with minimal signal loss.
• Reduced Noise and Interference: The carbon fiber shell and non-magnetic construction help minimize electromagnetic interference and vibrations, providing a cleaner audio signal with reduced background noise. This results in a more accurate and immersive listening experience.
• Secure and Stable Connection: The torque-control mechanism ensures a secure and consistent connection without the risk of over-tightening, preventing potential signal degradation that can occur from loose or unstable connections.
• Durability and Longevity: The rhodium plating offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear, while the carbon fiber finish adds strength and protection, making these binding posts suitable for long-term use in high-performance audio systems.

Ideal Applications:

• High-End Home Audio Systems: Ideal for audiophiles who want to upgrade their speaker connections to achieve the highest level of sound quality and signal integrity, while also adding an elegant touch with the carbon fiber finish.
• Professional Audio Setups: Suitable for recording studios, high-fidelity audio systems, and other professional environments where maintaining pure, unaltered sound is essential.

RATING
All audiophiles search for the same qualities: Verisimilitude to the original event, a sense of engagement promoting suspension of disbelief, a visceral immersion in the audio video experience. They also know that everything in the signal path makes a difference, and that includes speaker binding posts.

This critical connection often proves the weakest link in the quest for tight, low-distortion signal. Change your cables a few times and speaker binding posts can loosen. It’s bad enough in modestly-priced speakers where the simple remedy is to unscrew the back plate and tighten the offending nut. With expensive stand-mounted monitors or larger, more costly speaker systems why take the risk? The Torque Guard binding post sits at the very highest rung of build quality and musical performance, maintaining the tightest, most noise-free and undistorted signal path possible.

Furutech’s beautifully finished, beautiful sounding Torque Guard Binding Posts are the result of meticulous engineering and careful audition of various suitable materials. The FT-818 features an α (Alpha) pure copper conductors for minimal impedance and substantially-built extremely nonresonant carbon fiber, nonmagnetic stainless steel and eutectic copper alloy housings. The unique patent-pending Torque Guard technology, which prevents over-tightening, allows each post to be evenly tightened for improved channel balance and signal transfer.
