The
THOR phono interconnect series technology is the culmination
of years of refinement, continuous improvement, and numerous
feedback from discerning customers in the business. During
the development stage we copied most of the advanced technologies
incorporated into our standard interconnects construction.
PHONO connectors are
by far the most common connectors found on consumer audio and
video equipment.
Wiring
We've
analyzed the increasing demands placed on an PHONO connector,
and have come up with several innovations that allow our
connectors to deliver the highest performance and durability
in the business. By paying close attention to all aspect
of each individual component that makes up a lead, we've
greatly reduced the common problems of RFI and EMI interference,
resulting in a truly quiet interconnect for more natural
music reproduction. Other innovative technologies provide
improved reproduction of both analogue and digital mastered
audio. Each THOR phono connector is designed with our high
performance 6-cut self cleaning ground connector for maximum
surface contact points.A split
center-pin design provides superior contact area and high
contact pressure to transfer more current, reduce distortion
and deliver the best musical
reproduction quality.
Two precision-wound,
multi strand conductors with balanced bandwidth for optimized
frequency response in order to accurately reproduce high,
midrange, and low frequencies
Time corrected windings
provide accurate reproduction of both phase and amplitude
for exceptional transmission smoothness of the entire audio
spectrum
Foamed PE insulation
between conductors and the aluminium foil shield improves
insulation and lowers capacitance. This minimizes signal loss
and maximizes clarity, dynamic impact, and transient response.
This low capacitance design ensures accurate 75 ohm impedance
matching at input and output to minimize signal reflections
for smooth, detailed music reproduction, wide soundstage and
precise imaging without smearing or colourations. Additionally,
our foamed PE dielectric offers complete signal accuracy and
zero bit errors.
Conductive PVC bonded between a high density OFC braided shield
clears up EMI, and effectively maintains its integrity against
noises from mechanical vibrations, even when bending and flexing.
Our balanced shields completely eliminates all external modulated,
unmodulated and static interference sources. This in turn
eliminates colouring of the original signal by adjacent signal
leads.
Unlike ordinary leads with limited bandwidth, the THOR Phono
Interconnects have an ultra-wide bandwidth for rapid rise
times of leading edges. This substantially reduces jitter
and delivers extremely accurate signal reproduction with digital
transmissions. Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is equal
to or less than 1.1 up to 200MHz! The extra-wide bandwidth
delivers the most accurate transmission of digital square
waves and reduces jitter for smooth, more natural sounding
music reproduction form analogue and digital equipment.
Transient noise is minimized, imaging is more precise and
overall coherency and transparency are improved to a degree
not previously thought possible in audio interconnects at
this price level. Audio-Visual connoisseurs will also appreciate
superior clarity and reproduction of audio dynamics in today's
Home Cinema installations. Truely a coax interconnect for
audiophiles who want the best performance from their analogue
and digital audio systems.
