Inakustik Reference LS-1204 Air Spade Speaker Cable – 3 Meter

Description

Inakustik Reference LS-1204 Air Spade/BFA Speaker Cable (3meter)

As speaker cables carry the highest currents in the entire setup, they require an adequate wire size to ensure low-loss transmission. The current generates correspondingly strong magnetic fields. In addition, the cable inductance constitutes a frequency-dependent resistance to the (alternating) current. Therefore, speaker cables are required to be low-inductance. Exactly this has been systematically implemented with the LS-1204 Air: A highly sophisticated wire layout – the “fourfold multicore” design – lowers the inductance, thus producing a fully neutral sound over a wide frequency range. Moreover, the design leads to a neutralization of overlapping magnetic fields around the individual conductors. All frequencies are transmitted freely and without any latency, allowing for producing an incredibly open sound with unprecedented detail. At the end of the Air Helix, the four conductors inside the LS-1204 run into so-called aluminum splitters arranging them for the receiving connector. Between the splitter and the connector, in-akustik implements ultra-flexible parts molded from a special elastomer. These parts are fixed inside the splitter using a specifically designed plastic plug, thus ensuring maximum cable flexibility even in the connector region. The molded parts extend to the connector front and enclose the inner connector components, which underlines the plain yet charming appearance of the LS-1204 Air.

由于扬声器电缆在整个设置中承载着最高的电流，因此它们需要足够的导线尺寸以确保低损耗传输。电流产生相应的强磁场。另外，电缆电感构成了对（交流）电流的频率相关电阻。因此，扬声器电缆要求是低电感的。正是通过LS-1204 Air系统地实现了这一点：高度复杂的导线布局-“四重多芯”设计-降低了电感，从而在很宽的频率范围内产生了完全中性的声音。此外，该设计导致中和各个导体周围的重叠磁场。所有频率都可以自由传输，没有任何延迟，从而可以产生具有前所未有细节的令人难以置信的开放声音。在Air Helix的末端，LS-1204内部的四根导体插入所谓的铝分离器中，将它们布置为接收连接器。在分离器和连接器之间，in-akustik实施由特殊弹性体模制而成的超柔韧性零件。这些部件使用专门设计的塑料插头固定在分离器内部，从而即使在连接器区域也可确保最大的电缆灵活性。模制零件延伸到连接器的前部并包围内部连接器组件，这突出了LS-1204 Air的朴实而迷人的外观。

以实惠的价格呼吸声音

为了寻求真正的空气绝缘，我们当然已经为高端音频参考系列设定了标准。我们独特的Air Helix技术引领了无污染音频传输的道路。现在，我们为预算有限的高端发烧友增加了两根顶级参考空气螺旋电缆。它们是NF-1204互连件和LS-1204空气扬声器电缆。它们适合所有有抱负的音乐迷，并且可以从这种高科技设计中受益。得益于空气隔离，享受高保真音质几乎可以令人屏息。具有我们创新的Air Helix设计的参考电缆引起了全球以及商业媒体的众多高端热情。它们是为互连真正的“参考”高端设备而设计的，它们无疑可以在一流的音频系统的声音中产生很小的变化。 1204参考模型是为满足许多小型但高端系统的需求以及其所有者的预算而量身定制的。这些电缆经过精心制作，具有出色的性能，可帮助任何高端系统产生完美的声音。

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

For better understanding, lets dive into the technical details. It’s widely known that the dielectrics (i.e. the insulating material) of a capacitor plays an important role for the sound quality of hi-fi components and speakers, therefore our engineers always select all the parts with the greatest of care, even those incorporating the smallest amount of the dielectric. On the other hand, a cable of some length typically might incorporate several hundred cubic centimeters of dielectric material, mainly the electrical insulation. The dielectric stores an electric charge or energy, which is perfectly fine with electronic components such as capacitors. But with cables, the resulting capacity is a “parasitic” effect and this is undesirable for natural music production because it significantly affects the transmission properties and leads to interactions with connected electronics.

技术背景

为了更好地理解，让我们深入了解技术细节。 众所周知，电容器的电介质（即绝缘材料）对于高保真音响组件和扬声器的音质起着重要作用，因此，我们的工程师始终会精心选择所有部件，即使是最小的部件也是如此。 电介质的数量。 另一方面，某些长度的电缆通常可能包含几百立方厘米的介电材料，主要是电绝缘材料。 电介质存储电荷或能量，这对于电子组件（如电容器）来说是完美的。 但是，对于电缆，所产生的容量是一种“寄生”效应，这对于自然音乐制作而言是不希望的，因为它会显着影响传输性能并导致与连接的电子设备的相互作用。

THE AIR HELIX DESIGN

When it comes to high end audio, air is the best insulator currently available. Using it allows for achieving low capacities and low dielectric losses, this is the key factors to unspoiled transmission. Any extra material use on a cable (e.g. PVC insulation) causes a degradation of its electrical properties. In an ideal world there wouldn’t any insulation material and this is why our Air Helix cable design is a step towards perfect air insulation. The Air Helix principal is literally unique. We have designed a special clip to approximate to air insulation as closely as possible. Inside the cable, a large number of those clips are arrange to form a special helical support holding the signal conductors freely in the air while keeping them at an exact distance throughout the cable. The structure is highly flexible thanks to the two cross pieces that do not only interconnect the clips but also insure high accuracy spacing.

空中螺旋设计

当涉及高端音频时，空气是目前可用的最佳绝缘体。 使用它可以实现低容量和低介电损耗，这是传输完好无损的关键因素。 电缆上使用的任何额外材料（例如PVC绝缘）都会导致其电性能下降。 在理想的世界中，没有任何绝缘材料，这就是为什么我们的Air Helix电缆设计是朝着完美的空气绝缘迈出的一步。 Air Helix校长确实是独一无二的。 我们设计了一个特殊的夹子，以尽可能接近空气绝缘。 在电缆内部，布置了大量的夹子，以形成特殊的螺旋形支撑，将信号导体自由地悬在空中，同时在整个电缆中保持精确的距离。 由于两个横梁不仅使夹子相互连接，而且确保了高精度的间距，因此该结构具有很高的灵活性。

THE CONDUCTORS

Obviously, the conductors themselves play a key role in the Air Helix design. The Cross Link Super Speed waveguide is made of high purity copper wires braided around a PE core. A very thin lacquer coating on the wires prevents the formation of eddy currents inside the waveguide. The braided wire design also produces neutralizing effects by insuring that magnetic fields created by the current are at least partly compensated. In particular with speaker cables that carry the highest current into the entire audio path, this design insures neutral conductor behaviour over the entire frequency spectrum.

导体

显然，导体本身在Air Helix设计中起着关键作用。 交叉链接超高速波导由编织在PE芯周围的高纯度铜线制成。 导线上的涂层很薄，可防止在波导内部形成涡流。 编织线设计还通过确保至少部分补偿由电流产生的磁场来产生中和效果。 特别是对于在整个音频路径中承载最高电流的扬声器电缆，此设计可确保在整个频谱范围内的中性导体行为。

MADE IN GERMANY

Just like all speaker and audio cables from our Reference series, the LS-1204 Air and NF-1204Air are entirely manufactured in Germany. The clips are meticulously assembled by hand at on-site factory in Germany. The resulting Air Helix design then receives a PE network jacket before the finish cable is subjected to a thorough and final inspection. We have opted for Tellurium copper as the conductor base material rather than brass. This is because Tellurium copper offers almost twice the conductivity. Than using custom made machine strips, a complex technique with lacquer coating on the highly pure copper wires of the Cross Link Super Speed waveguide is formed. Afterward the bare wires are crimped with a 1.5-t pressure directly on the connector. This technique prevents the occurrence of contact resistance that often occurs with the use of additional materials such as solder, wire and sleeves. The connector surfaces are rhodium coated because this is an extremely robust material that insures optimum contact.

德国制造

就像我们参考系列中的所有扬声器和音频电缆一样，LS-1204 Air和NF-1204Air完全在德国制造。夹子是在德国的现场工厂手工精心组装的。然后，在对最终电缆进行彻底而最终的检查之前，所得的Air Helix设计将接受PE网络护套。我们选择了碲铜作为导体基材，而不是黄铜。这是因为碲铜几乎提供了两倍的电导率。与使用定制的机器条带相比，形成了一种复杂的技术，该技术在Cross Link超高速波导的高纯度铜线上涂了一层清漆。然后，将裸线以1.5吨的压力直接压接在连接器上。这种技术可防止发生接触电阻，该接触电阻通常是在使用其他材料（例如焊料，电线和套管）时发生的。连接器表面镀铑，因为这是一种极其坚固的材料，可确保最佳接触。
