What's in the Box?
Warranty
The Bronze Dragon IEM Cable will improve the presentation of your bright or thin-sounding IEMs delivering a sound that's warm, musical, and inviting. UP-OCC stranded copper conductors warm, expand, and strengthen the bottom end of instruments like bass guitars and cellos, as well as deep vocals. The warmth and fullness of the Bronze Dragon create the muscle needed to round out a flat signature. Bright or thin-sounding IEMs will have more body, providing a bigger presentation of the music. The bass will have more weight to it without being bloated and lush sounding.
If you want a fuller and more impactful listening experience from your IEMs, upgrade to the musical-sounding Bronze Dragon IEM Cable.
Compatible with the Anole VX, 8SS, 8SH, and other 2-pin QDC IEMs.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.
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.

Bronze Dragon Sound Signature
The Bronze Dragon is dynamic, detailed, and musical. It leans on the warm side of neutral, but is anything but dry-sounding. The Bronze Dragon makes a bold statement with a clear presentation and authority.
The smooth, musical quality of the Bronze Dragon makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Bronze Dragon does not have a laid-back, lush sound and is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural-sounding cable. As a flexible-sounding cable, it can match the sonic characteristics of your sound system.
Bronze Dragon Cable Design
The Bronze Dragon IEM Cable is built with the finest materials and craftsmanship to unveil your music. Eight conductors of 99.99998% UP-OCC stranded copper are incorporated in each cable as it is the purest wire that can be currently produced and is void of all impurities. Used in just the right ways and proportions, copper conductors in the Bronze Dragon IEM Cable help warm, expand, and strengthen sound. Designed for 2-pin IEMs, the Bronze Dragon features a 45-degree angle on the lead. This effectively wraps the cable up and around your ear for more comfort and better sound.
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.

Premolded Amplifier Connections
We offer three standard audio cable connector options, a 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm balanced, and 4.4mm balanced. These connectors are available premolded, built with durability to last.
- 3.5mm straight or right angle 3 pole stereo single-ended connection for use with most common portable devices
- 2.5mm balanced 4 pole gold straight mini plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern players, RAL players & ALO amps. The entire body is molded to prevent the face of the connector to short to the chassis ground. This will eliminate issues of ground shorts.
- 4.4mm balanced 5-pole gold straight plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern, Sony, and iBasso Digital Audio Players.
Both of the 3.5mm connectors have extended necks to vanquish most portable devices that have a deep connector socket hole. Premolded connections are available for immediate shipment, but we also offer custom termination options!
Custom Amplifier Connections
In addition to our premolded options, we also carry a wide array of premium amplifier connectors.
Feel free to reach out if you don't see the connector you need listed. We might just have it!
Connecting Your Dragon IEM Cable
- R: Right Channel
- L: Left Channel
- Cable should always curve up from the connector
With the curve of the cable pointing upward, slide the connector with an "R" marking straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the "L" marking and the left IEM.
