Constructed with Furutech’s advanced technologies, high-purity materials, and precise engineering, the AG-12 ensures minimal signal loss, reduced interference, and optimal conductivity, making it an excellent choice for those looking to experience the full potential of their vinyl records.

Introduction

In high-fidelity analog audio systems, the quality of your phono cable is critical to maintaining the integrity and purity of the delicate signals produced by your turntable’s cartridge. The Furutech AG-12 Phono Cable is engineered to preserve the accuracy of these signals, ensuring that every detail, nuance, and dynamic range of your vinyl collection is faithfully reproduced. With its 1.2-meter length and DIN to RCA configuration, the AG-12 is compatible with a wide range of tonearms, providing seamless integration into your audio system.

Key Features

1. Silver-Plated Alpha-OCC Conductors
   • The AG-12 features Furutech’s high-purity, silver-plated Alpha-OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors. These conductors provide exceptional conductivity and minimal resistance, allowing for a highly accurate and transparent sound. The silver plating enhances detail and clarity, resulting in a cable that delivers the full depth and richness of your vinyl records.
2. Dual-Layer Shielding for Noise Protection
   • The AG-12 is designed with a dual-layer shielding system, which includes a braided copper shield and an aluminum foil shield. This design effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring that your audio signal remains free from external noise. This shielding results in a cleaner, more detailed sound experience, capturing the full essence of your vinyl playback.
3. High-Quality DIN and RCA Connectors with Teflon Insulation
   • The AG-12 Phono Cable is fitted with a high-quality right-angle DIN connector on one end and gold-plated RCA connectors on the other end. These connectors are insulated with Teflon (PTFE), which offers excellent dielectric properties, reducing signal loss and maintaining signal integrity. The gold plating ensures superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, providing a stable and reliable connection 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 ensures smoother signal transmission, resulting in a more natural, dynamic, and detailed sound experience, allowing your vinyl records to sound their absolute best.
5. Flexible and Durable Design
   • Despite being a high-performance cable, the AG-12 is designed to be flexible and easy to handle, making it convenient for installation in a variety of turntable setups. Its durable outer jacket ensures long-lasting performance, even with regular use.
