The Master USB w/EVO Ground Station

Most USB cables are designed for printers and hard drives. The Master USB with EVO Ground Station is engineered to capture the very essence of your music.

TARA Labs has re-engineered the USB interface from the ground up, moving past simple data transfer to create a reference-level conduit that excels in musicality, high-frequency precision, and a vanishingly low noise floor. Hand-crafted in Oregon, USA, the Master USB is a transformative upgrade for any high-end 2-channel, home theater, or near-field audio system.

Key Performance Characteristics

  • Exceptional Musicality: Unlike typical “analytical” sounding cables, the Master USB focuses on the heart of the performance.

  • Holographic Soundstage: Experience a vast 3D soundscape with precise width, depth, and height.

  • Silent Background: The integrated EVO Ground Station eliminates parasitic noise, revealing nuanced details previously lost to the digital haze.

  • Dynamic Precision: Fast attack with natural sustain and decay; powerful, tight bass paired with shimmering high-frequency extension.

Proprietary Technology & Construction

The Master USB isn’t just a cable; it’s a feat of electrical engineering. We utilize extreme measures to ensure signal integrity and timing:

  • 8N Pure Copper Conductors: We use 99.999999% pure, mono-crystal, oxygen-free copper (OFC) silver-coated conductors for lossless transmission.

  • The EVO Ground Station System: Unique to the Master series, this floating ground system actively reduces RFI/EMI and digital noise, resulting in a jitter-free, neutral presentation.

  • Aerospace-Grade Insulation: Flexible PTFE dielectrics and crush-resistant Polypropylene Polymers protect the conductors while maintaining precise electrical characteristics.

  • Laser-Controlled Geometry: Using High Accuracy Dual Axis Laser Micrometers, we ensure uniform insulation wall thickness. This creates consistent capacitance and impedance across the entire length of the cable.

  • Planetary Cabling: Conductors are twisted using specialized planetary machines to create a perfect helixed unit, cutting down on “jitter” and optimizing both signal and power delivery.

Triple-Shielded Protection

To protect the delicate digital stream from the “noise pollution” of modern homes (WiFi, cell signals, and power cables), the Master USB features a rigorous triple-layer shield:

  1. Full Mylar Silver Shield

  2. Twin Silver-Coated Copper Braided Shields

  3. Anti-Corrosion Secondary Shielding
