LS-2405 AIR Pure Silver

AIR technology is a milestone in our more than 46-year company history and is causing a sensation in the hi-fi industry worldwide. The approach itself sounds relatively banal: The physically induced losses must be minimized in order to transmit the original music signal as authentically and neutrally as possible. And thanks to the AIR technology loss-free transmission is closer than ever before. It leads to a significantly better reproduction which is not only subjectively audible but also objectively measurable.

The insulation (or dielectric) of the AIR cables is practically perfect thanks to the air insulation and hardly affects the sound at all. The structure dimensions and arrangement of the conductors are optimized and approach the limits of what is physically possible. Adding another highlight to this perfect audiophile foundation we then focused on the conductor material of the cables. Copper in the appropriate purity is already a very good conductor. A superconductor where electrical resistance is zero would be perfect of course.

Unfortunately superconducting materials require temperatures of at least -70 degrees. Under realistic operating conditions the best conducting material we have is currently silver. At 61.35 S/m (Siemens pro Meter) its conductivity is approximately six percent superior to that of copper. However this precious metal is about 100 times more expensive.

Below you can learn more about the outstanding technical features of this cable the innovations in the 5th generation and the physical principles used in the AIR technology.

Pure silver is regarded as the best conductor, delivering more detail across all frequency ranges. The charismatic sound of pure silver is primarily due to its high drift speed. Pure silver cables shouldn’t be confused with silver-plated cables. Silver-plated cables are said to lend a metallic and aggressive character to the sound, something pure silver cables never do.

Movement across three axes make the 360-degree BFA and spade connectors really easy to connect and disconnect. Difficult set-up operations that put a strain on both cables and devices are a thing of the past. The connectors can easily be attached to terminals from a wide range of manufacturers. No awkward bending is necessary avoiding damage to surfaces and potential contact resistance. Set-up is fast and problem-free. The attractively designed connectors are the perfect complement to the outstanding sound.

Each cable is handcrafted with the utmost care. Our extensive know-how and the qualifications of our team enable us to manufacture the complex cables in a customized manner. Apart from the finest of materials our most important resource is the manual dexterity of our cable assemblers. In assembling our outstanding cables they demonstrate meticulousness composure and dedication.

We manufacture in accordance with the highest standards. Rigorous quality control is carried out before during and subsequent to assembly. We verify the tolerances of ever individual component. At every stage of manufacturing we check the configuration and electrics for short-circuits. We also conduct functional and mechanical testing. No product leaves our manufacturing unit without a final quality check.

…that our LS-2405 AIR Pure Silver (2 x 3m; SBW) is made up of 460 individual components? The pure silver wire used is 1344 m long and the PE monofilament is 829 m long. Containing 2092 drill holes the Air Helix design of this cable type demands great dexterity on the part of the assemblers when they’re threading through the conductors.
