The Arran Ultra XLR features the highest quality '6N' (99.99997% purity) elongated crystal copper manufactured using the OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) process. The cable utilises a pair of conductors, each made up of six solid OCC strands surrounding a seventh central wire, tension wrapped in a multi-layer microporous Teflon dielectric. A sophisticated 'dd' (dual-drain) screen configuration with a copper shielding braid ensures minimal RF interference and noise susceptibility. Termination is with our cold-weld aluminium alloy 'dark Chrome' XLR connectors, here with silver-plated OCC copper pins. In a cold-weld (solder-free) connection, the metal of the connector plug and the wire are squeezed together under a calibrated pressure to form a robust, consistent, air-tight metal to metal contact with no deformation of the cable dielectric. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted signal path which behaves as one continuous entity. Standard or Luxe finish options are available.
