Understanding Materials
When it comes to crafting custom, made-to-order audio cables, the selection of high-quality materials is of utmost importance. The materials chosen for each component of the cable have a direct and significant impact on several key factors:
- Performance: The electrical properties of the materials used in the conductors, insulation, and shielding greatly influence the cable's ability to transfer the audio signal accurately and efficiently. High-quality materials with superior conductivity, low resistance, and excellent dielectric properties ensure that the signal remains intact and free from distortion, resulting in a clearer, more detailed sound.
- Durability: The longevity and reliability of an audio cable is largely determined by the materials used in its construction. Robust, well-insulated conductors and durable jacketing materials protect the cable from physical damage, such as abrasion, bending, and cracking, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of regular use and maintain its performance over time.
- Sound Quality: The ultimate goal of any audiophile-grade cable is to deliver the highest possible sound quality, allowing the listener to experience the music as the artist intended. The selection of materials plays a crucial role in achieving this goal, as each component contributes to the overall sound signature of the cable. From the conductor material's impact on frequency response and clarity to the insulation's effect on signal isolation and noise reduction, every material choice influences the final sound quality.
Components of our Audio Cable: A Dragon Audio Cable consists of several key components, each playing a crucial role in signal transmission and noise reduction. These components include:
- Conductors: This is the core of the cable which is responsible for carrying the audio signal. Our conductors are made using the highest quality UP-OCC silver or copper conductors that can be manufactured. UP-OCC (Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Casting) metals are void of impurities and are optimized for signal transfer and sound quality.
- Insulation: The material surrounding the conductors, provides electrical isolation and reduces signal loss. Common insulation materials include Teflon (PTFE), polyethylene (PE), and PVC. For instance, in our Silver Dragon Headphone Cables, each conductor is encapsulated in a Teflon casing. The conductors are then surrounded by cotton and a thin layer of aluminum foil. It is then protected by a 100% coverage silver plated copper secondary shield and placed in a polyethylene jacket for further protection.
- Shielding: A layer of conductive material that encases the insulated conductors, protecting them from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Shielding materials can include braided copper, aluminum foil, or a combination of both. Sometimes we double shield our cables for added protection if the application calls for it, like our Silver Dragon Premium Headphone Cable and Blue Dragon Power Cable.
- Connectors: The termination points of the cable, allow it to interface with audio components. High-quality connectors, such as gold-plated or rhodium-plated RCA, XLR, or 1/4" plugs, ensure a secure and reliable connection. At Moon Audio we have one of the largest collections of connectors around. You want it? We got it.
Materials Used in Cable Construction
- Highest-Purity Copper: One of the most popular conductor materials, high-purity copper offers excellent electrical conductivity. We only use the purest copper in our Dragon Audio Cables, with UP-OCC copper conductors. UP-OCC metals are void of impurities and provide a warmer sound signature compared to silver.
- Highest-Purity Silver: Known for its superior conductivity, silver is also used in our premium Dragon Audio Cables. Silver conductors are prized for their ability to deliver a detailed, transparent, and extended high-frequency response. We only use UP-OCC Silver in our award-winning Dragon Audio Cables.
- Insulation and Jacketing Materials: The choice of insulation and jacketing materials can significantly impact a cable's performance. Teflon is a popular insulation material due to its low dielectric constant, which minimizes signal loss and preserves clarity.
