Key Features

1. High-Purity Silver-Plated α (Alpha) OCC Conductors
   • The AG-12-R4 features Furutech’s high-purity, silver-plated Alpha-OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors. This conductor material ensures superior signal transfer with minimal resistance, resulting in a more accurate and detailed sound reproduction, allowing every nuance of your vinyl records to come through with exceptional clarity.
2. Dual-Layer Shielding for Noise Protection
   • The cable is designed with a dual-layer shielding system, including a braided copper shield and an aluminum foil shield, which effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures that your audio signal remains pure and free from external noise, allowing for a cleaner and more detailed sound.
3. High-Quality RCA Connectors with Teflon Insulation
   • The AG-12-R4 is equipped with high-quality gold-plated RCA connectors, ensuring a secure and stable connection between your turntable and phono preamp or amplifier. These connectors are insulated with Teflon (PTFE), which offers excellent dielectric properties, reducing signal loss and maintaining signal integrity for an improved audio experience.
4. Alpha Cryogenic and Demagnetization Treatment
   • Furutech applies its proprietary Alpha (α) Cryogenic and Demagnetization treatment to the conductors and connectors, which enhances conductivity and reduces internal stresses. This treatment ensures smoother signal transmission, resulting in a more natural, dynamic, and detailed sound that brings your vinyl records to life.
5. Flexible and Durable Design
   • Despite its high-performance construction, the AG-12-R4 is designed to be flexible and easy to handle, making it convenient to install in various turntable setups. Its robust outer jacket provides durability and protection, ensuring long-term performance even with regular use.
