Key Features

1. High-Purity Alpha-OCC Copper Conductors
   • The Evolution II Audio Interconnect Cable features Furutech’s high-purity Alpha-OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors. These conductors offer superior conductivity and ensure minimal signal loss, delivering an accurate and detailed audio signal. The purity and structure of the OCC copper help to maintain signal integrity, resulting in a more transparent and natural sound.
2. Multi-Layer Shielding for Noise Protection
   • The cable incorporates a multi-layer shielding system, including a braided copper shield and an aluminum foil shield, which effectively protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures that the audio signal remains free from external noise, resulting in a cleaner and more detailed sound experience.
3. High-Quality RCA Connectors with Teflon Insulation
   • The Evolution II Audio Interconnect Cable is equipped with high-quality gold-plated RCA connectors, providing a secure and stable connection. These connectors are insulated with Teflon (PTFE), which offers excellent dielectric properties, reducing signal loss and maintaining signal integrity. The gold plating ensures optimal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over time.
4. Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetization Treatment
   • Furutech applies its proprietary Alpha (α) Cryogenic and Demagnetization treatment to the conductors and connectors, enhancing conductivity and reducing internal stresses. This treatment results in smoother signal transmission, leading to a more natural, dynamic, and detailed audio experience.
5. Flexible and Durable Design
   • Despite its high-performance construction, the Evolution II Audio Interconnect Cable is designed to be flexible and easy to handle, making it convenient for installation in various audio setups. Its durable outer jacket provides protection, ensuring long-term performance even with regular use.
