The Sound of Silence

The hallmark of the ISM Onboard series is its ability to disappear. By utilizing the Isolated Shield Matrix^® and Floating Ground Station^® technologies within the integrated ISM Onboard Capsule^™, this cable effectively isolates electromagnetic interference.

The result? A greater sense of focus and a vivid reconstruction of the recorded environment. You won’t just hear the music; you’ll feel the air of the room and the precise placement of every instrument.

Key Features

SA-OF8N^® Copper Conductors: Utilizing 99.999999% pure copper—the “8-Nines” standard—these frequency-tuned, mono-crystal conductors ensure lossless signal transfer.
Onboard Grounding: The built-in ISM Onboard Capsule^™ manages RF and EMI noise without the need for external grounding boxes.
Advanced Dielectrics: A combination of PTFE and Aero-PE^® ensures minimal signal absorption and maximum phase stability.
Natural Fiber Core: Provides mechanical damping to eliminate micro-vibrations that can smear high-frequency detail.
Hand-Polished Excellence: Every conductor is hand-polished to remove surface imperfections before assembly.
