Because the speaker cable carries the largest current in the entire device chain a suitable conductor cross-section is required to transport it with as little loss as possible. This current generates correspondingly strong magnetic fields and since it is alternating current there is a frequency-dependent resistance in the inductance of the cable.Low inductance is therefore particularly important for speaker cables – and this is precisely what has been achieved with the LS-1205 Air: The cable’s inductance value has been reduced by a particularly ingenious arrangement of the conductors the 4-fold “multicore” structure enabling it to behave in a completely sound-neutral way over a wide frequency range. In addition the magnetic fields generated around the individual conductors overlap and neutralize each other. This means that all frequencies are transported unhindered and without any time delay enabling a fabulously open and detailed musical presentation. At the end of the air helix the LS-1205 Air’s four conductors are separated into so-called aluminum splitters for the receiving connector.In the area between the splitters and plug in-akustik uses highly flexible molded parts made of a special elastomer. These parts are fixed inside the splitter using a specifically designed plastic plug. This means that the cable remains reliably flexible in the connection area as well. The molded parts run right to the front of the connectors and enclose their inner workings – which underscores the sleek yet attractive design of the LS-1205 Air.
Handmade
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.
Rigorous quality control
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.
