Accuphase ALC-10 1m Balance Audio XLR Cable

Description

The Accuphase ALC-10 is a high-performance 1-meter balanced audio cable equipped with 3-pin Cannon (XLR) type connectors, designed specifically for compatibility with professional and high-end audio equipment. In compliance with BTS standards, the cable’s design connects the ground pin directly to the shield, ensuring optimal grounding and reduced noise in professional audio environments.

At the core of the ALC-10 is Accuphase’s Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Series cable technology, known for its exceptional signal integrity and durability. The internal structure features two twisted conductors made from a combination of highly pure oxygen-free copper wires and silver-plated soft copper wires. These materials are selected for their low resistance and excellent transfer characteristics, delivering a clean, accurate signal with minimal distortion.

Encasing the conductors is a triple-layer insulation system, comprising high dielectric polyethylene, foamed polyethylene, and a stabilising interstitial core. This layered design minimizes transfer losses and DC resistance, allowing for precise, high-definition audio transmission.

To protect the signal from external interference, the ALC-10 employs an advanced dual-shielding system. This includes 192 ultra-fine (0.1 mm) high-purity copper wires braided at high density, combined with an aluminum foil tape layer. This configuration provides low capacitance and robust protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency noise, ensuring stable performance even in electrically noisy environments.

The result is a cable that maintains the full sonic character of connected components, allowing listeners to experience natural, well-balanced sound with rich detail across the entire musical spectrum. Whether used in a professional studio or high-fidelity home system, the Accuphase ALC-10 delivers the precision and reliability expected from the Accuphase name.
