Interconnect cables are essential in preserving signal integrity as they carry audio signals between components. The Furutech Lineflux NCF XLR Interconnect Cable is engineered to maintain the purity and accuracy of these signals, delivering an exceptionally clear, detailed, and dynamic audio experience. With its 1.2-meter length (per pair), this interconnect is perfect for high-fidelity audio setups, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.

Key Features

1. Ultra-Pure α (Alpha) OCC Copper Conductors

   • The Lineflux NCF cable features ultra-high-purity α (Alpha) OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors, known for their exceptional conductivity and low resistance. This results in minimal signal loss and distortion, ensuring that every detail and nuance of your audio is accurately reproduced, providing a transparent and lifelike sound experience.

2. Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) Connectors

   • The cable is equipped with Furutech’s advanced NCF connectors, which incorporate a special crystalline material with both piezoelectric and negative ion properties. This unique technology generates negative ions to eliminate static and converts mechanical vibrations into heat, significantly reducing electrical noise and distortion. This results in a cleaner and more accurate signal transfer, enhancing the overall audio quality.

3. Balanced XLR Design for Reduced Noise and Interference

   • The Lineflux NCF Interconnect Cable features a balanced XLR design, which is inherently resistant to noise and interference. This configuration allows the cable to cancel out any noise that may occur during signal transmission, ensuring that your audio remains free from unwanted hums or interference, resulting in a pure and unaltered sound.

4. Triple-Layer Shielding for Optimal Noise Protection

   • Furutech’s Lineflux NCF cable incorporates triple-layer shielding, which provides maximum protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This advanced shielding ensures that the audio signal remains pure and free from external noise, maintaining signal integrity and delivering the highest level of audio clarity.

5. High-Quality XLR Connectors with Teflon Insulation

   • The Lineflux NCF is equipped with high-quality rhodium-plated XLR connectors that offer superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The connectors are insulated with Teflon (PTFE), which provides excellent dielectric properties, reducing signal loss and ensuring optimal signal transfer.

6. Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetization Treatment

   • Furutech applies its proprietary Alpha (α) Cryogenic and Demagnetization treatment to the conductors and connectors, further enhancing conductivity and reducing internal stresses. This treatment ensures smoother signal transmission, resulting in a more natural, dynamic, and detailed sound experience.

FEATURES
NCF: Nano Crystal² Formula
Incorporated into selected Furutech products, NCF features a special crystalline material that has two ‘active’ properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static. Second, it converts thermal energy into far infrared. Furutech combines this remarkable material with Nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional ‘piezoelectric effect’ damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material. Created by Furutech, it is found exclusively in Furutech products.

Refinement Personified
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.
The dilemma faced by many is that poor recording values are more apparent as audio systems gain clarity, transparency and resolution. Recordings that are acceptable sounding on a compromised system may grate as the bass, midrange and upper frequencies open up.
The wideband, smooth, extremely low noise and utterly musical presentation achieved by Furutech’s beautifully finished Lineflux NCF (XLR) cables is down to meticulous engineering and a careful audition of various suitable materials. These results in the superb overall balance of qualities that Furutech is known for that allow you to feel, experience and communicate with music.
