Accuphase ALC-100 10m Balanced XLR Audio Cable

Description

The Accuphase ALC-100 is a premium 10-meter balanced audio cable designed for high-end audio and professional applications, featuring robust 3-pin Cannon (XLR) connectors. Fully compliant with the BTS standard, the cable ensures the ground pin is connected to the shield, providing excellent grounding and superior noise rejection in balanced audio systems.

At its core, the ALC-100 utilizes Accuphase’s acclaimed Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Series cable technology, featuring a densely braided outer conductor made from oxygen-free copper. This design offers reliable shielding to the two twisted internal conductors composed of highly pure copper, effectively minimizing transfer losses and resisting electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference.

The center conductors consist of a sophisticated combination of highly pure oxygen-free copper wires and silver-plated soft copper wires with varying diameters, offering exceptional transfer characteristics and low resistance. This hybrid conductor structure ensures clean, distortion-free signal transmission, preserving every detail of the audio source.

The cable employs a triple-layer insulation system that includes high dielectric resistance polyethylene, foamed polyethylene, and a stabilising interstitial core. Implemented in a dual-core design, this insulation reduces DC resistance and transfer losses to negligible levels, enabling high-definition audio fidelity even over extended cable lengths.

Shielding is provided by 192 ultra-fine (0.1 mm) high-purity copper wires braided at high density, combined with an aluminum foil tape layer. This dual shielding method maintains low capacitance and delivers superior protection against external noise sources, ensuring the audio signal remains pure and well-balanced.

Designed for audiophiles and professionals who demand uncompromising sound quality, the Accuphase ALC-100 faithfully reproduces the full musical spectrum with clarity, depth, and natural tonal balance.
