ISM™ Onboard 0.8 Digital

ISM™ Onboard 0.8 Digital pairs the ISM Onboard Capsule™, with its Isolated Floating Shield™ and Ground Station®, with RSC® SA-OF8N® conductors and dual-layer shielding.

It is built to remove digital glare and RFI/EMI for a transparent, spatially precise sound. Available as 75-ohm RCA or 110-ohm XLR.

Termination Options
RCA (75 ohm BNC) or XLR (110 ohm)
Conductor Material
RSC® SA-OF8N® Copper
Dielectric
Aero-PE® and PTFE
Shielding
Dual-layer (Mylar foil + Anti-Corrosion Copper Braid)

Hand-made to order in Medford, Oregon. Pricing is available from your authorized TARA Labs dealer.

Key Technologies

  • ISM Onboard Capsule™: This revolutionary module houses our Isolated Floating Shield™ and Ground Station® technologies. By effectively “floating” the shield and grounding it within the capsule, we dissipate RFI/EMI before it ever reaches your components.
  • RSC® SA-OF8N® Conductors: Utilizing Rectangular Solid Core® Oxygen-Free Mono-Crystal™ copper (99.999999% pure), these conductors provide a clear path for high-frequency digital signals with minimal phase shift.
  • Dual-Shielding Defense: To ensure absolute signal integrity, the 0.8 Digital employs both a Mylar-backed foil and an anti-corrosion coated SA-OF8N® copper braided shield.
  • Advanced Dielectrics: A combination of Aero-PE® and PTFE dielectrics ensures low capacitance and high-speed signal transfer, critical for maintaining 75 ohm or 110 ohm impedance stability.

The Sonic Signature

The ISM™ Onboard 0.8 Digital doesn’t just pass data; it preserves the soul of the music. Expect a presentation that is:

  • Holographic Imaging: Pinpoint accuracy with well-shaped imagery and intricate micro-details.
  • Full-Bodied Texture: A rich, natural midrange paired with tight, authoritative bass response.
  • Expansive Soundstage: Wide spatial cues that recreate the original recording environment.
  • Limitless Extension: High-frequency air and extension without the harshness typical of lesser digital cables.
  • Total Neutrality: A clear, precise, and uncolored presentation that remains faithful to the source.
