Dragon Cables
Black Dragon IEM Cable for JH Audio JH-3a (48" only)
$299.00 USDThis cable is designed exclusively for JH Audio dual-input IEMs for use with the JH Audio JH-3A amp. The Black Dragon is great for adding bottom-end weight to your IEMs for a more full-bodied sound. Copper conductors will warm the bass and midrange tones and smooth out the upper frequencies without sacrificing detail. You get a more musical sound with expanded soundstage depth. The Black Dragon is appropriate for most genres, but works especially well with Electronica, Dance, Pop, Rap, R&B, and other music where a big, bold presentation is desired. Get ready to be AMAZED! We are thrilled with the look, sound, and price of this cable.
"I have the cable and it is amazing. The detail is much better and I measured a 3.2db input sensitivity increase."
Jerry Harvey, JH Audio
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors with poor geometries, rubber jackets, and other issues that can limit the performance of your equipment.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon is warm and smooth with a musical presentation. Copper strands enhance the body, shape, and immediacy of the music. The detail and expansiveness of the Black Dragon make it a flexible fit where a broad range of musical genres are played. It can also improve bass frequencies on bass-light headphones.
The smooth, musical quality makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Black Dragon does not have a laid back, lush sound. It is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural sounding cable.

Cable Design
Like the Black Dragon IEM cable, the Black Dragon JH-3A IEM version is a coaxial design using a 99.99998% UP-OCC Stranded Copper 26AWG center conductor for the positive leg. With this custom setup, there are 4 cables instead of 2. The JH-3A breaks the signal path into a separate 3-way crossover pattern. Each frequency range has its own internal amplifier in the JH3A; therefore, 6 channels of conductors are required for this cable. The center conductor uses the same Kevlar reinforcing as our other Dragon cables. The center conductor is wrapped concentrically by a 99.99998% UP-OCC copper plated single crystallized UP-OCC pure copper stranded 26AWG gauge conductor with 7N purity 99.99998%.
The 3 left and 3 right signal cables run parallel to each other, resulting in a very low inductance. Both signal jackets are polyethylene and the cable is extremely flexible yet very resilient and resistant to flex failure. This cable only comes in a 48-inch length and with the stock 8 pin Mini XLR required of the JH-3A amplifier.
What is UP-OCC?
UP-OCC stands for Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Casting (OCC). This is not a material but a way of extruding silver and copper to prevent any impurities and fractures in the crystalline structure of the wire. The wire is drawn very slowly to cast as an almost perfect single crystal small diameter conductor. The resulting purity and the size of the cast wire makes a tremendous difference and there is less damage to the near-perfect cast state. We find this UP-OCC process produces a very clean and close to neutral sound in our copper- based and silver-based cables.Connecting Your IEM Cable
- Red: Right Channel
