The Second ®True transmission technology * Hybrid design * Halogeen free

After the enormous success of our coaxial interlink The First ®, it was the correct time also to produce a balanced version of this cable with Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) conductors. The logical result was to name this balanced version: The Second ®.

The Second ® its two centre conductors are made of identical groups of LSC, each containing 12,000 individually insulated carbon fibres. Besides the undisturbed and very good signal transmission per fibre, the individual insulation also contributes to the high sound quality: no wild electron crossings between individual conductors are subject to all kinds of boundary problems. The electrons move in one direction without side movements. The insulation of both centre conductors is made of polyethene foam in the colours white and brown. The specially treated artificial filler fibres protect The Second ® against penetration of humidity; this keeps the capacitance stable and low.

The shield is made of 4 layers: two different groups of helically wound dense silver-coated OFC strands and 2 LSC saturated layers. This is the best possible shielding available; completely closed against any external signal penetration and with many advantages in the total construction itself. The jacket is made of a nice light brown coloured Hulliflex ®, the best external insulation material we can think about.

The Second ® is available in ready-made lengths with our C – 7.3 RCA type connectors for single-ended applications and with Neutrik XLR connectors for balanced applications. There is practically no limitation to the applicable length of The Second ®. We have produced  The Second ® with a length of 25 meters as a microphone cable for professional recording applications. Equally, The Second ® renders an outstanding resolution and neutrality when used as an electrical instrument cable.
