Description
A more affordable version that retains the know-how of USB-1.0 Triple C
Revolutionary structure with completely separate signal and power lines
A USB cable contains both a signal line that transmits digital signals and a power line that supplies bus power. When signal lines and power lines are mixed together, they are affected by the magnetic and electric fields generated by each other, resulting in a significant degradation in quality.
The biggest drawback of USB cables, which are designed solely for convenience, lies in their cable structure. No matter how high-performance the conductors, insulation, and shielding, mutual interference between the signal lines and power lines cannot be avoided, and excellent transmission characteristics and sound quality cannot be expected.
The R-AU1-SP and R-AU1-PL utilize a groundbreaking design developed by ACOUSTIC REVIVE that completely separates the signal and power lines. The use of dedicated 2-core shielded cables for the signal and power lines ensures high-quality sound without transmission degradation due to mutual interference.
The insulation material is a fluororesin with an excellent dielectric constant. It is the insulation that has a greater impact on the transmission characteristics of a cable than the conductor. The dielectric constant is a numerical value that expresses the performance of an insulation material. This dielectric constant represents the force that tries to stop the flow of electricity, and the lower the value, the higher the performance of the insulation material.
However, the insulation material used in most USB cables currently on the market is PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which has a dielectric constant of 5.6, and even expensive audio USB cables are insulated with PE (polyethylene), which has a dielectric constant of 2.3 to 2.4 at best. In contrast, fluororesin has a dielectric constant of 2.1, the lowest dielectric constant currently available among insulating resin materials. The R-AU1-SP, with its fluororesin insulation, achieves overwhelming transmission performance.
Natural silk cushioning prevents static electricity
The R-AU1-SP and R-AU1-PL use natural silk as a buffer material, which reduces the effects of vibration through its vibration-damping effect and also prevents the generation of static electricity, further refining the excellent transmission characteristics.Natural silk is difficult to charge itself and prevents the generation of static electricity, but it is not only effective; even if it does become charged, it will be charged with a positive (+) potential, so when combined with a resin insulating material that is charged in the negative (-) direction, it has the effect of canceling out static electricity.
Copper shielding provides excellent shielding characteristics in the audio band
The R-AU1-SP and R-AU1-PL use copper shielding, which offers excellent shielding properties in the audio band, which is the most important for music production and playback. Aluminum and other light metal shields are excellent at shielding high frequencies, but are inferior in the all-important audio band, and are prone to developing unique tonal characteristics. Copper shielding, on the other hand, does not develop tonal characteristics and tightly shields the important audio band, preventing external noise from entering.
