Silver Dragon IEM V1 Headphone Cable

The Silver Dragon IEM headphone cable V1 will open up your IEMs and let them breathe easier. Silver conductors provide a more resolute and detailed open sound. Transients appear to be more cohesive and controlled. The bass is tighter and more controlled.

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.

Silver Dragon Sound Signature

The Silver Dragon is the original cable. Silver strands clarify instrument separation, increase soundstage, and find previously lost high and mid-frequency sounds. Transients appear more cohesive and the bass tighter for a more controlled sound. The detail and clarity of the Silver Dragon make it a perfect match for classical music and other genres with many nuanced instruments.

Cable Design

The Silver Dragon IEM headphone cable is the baby brother of the original award-winning Silver Dragon headphone cable V3 for full-size headphones. We have designed this IEM headphone cable for use with Custom In-Ear monitors or IEMs where light weight and flexibility are a must.

2-Pin Connections

This cable now includes 2 types of 2-pin connection. The first is for Custom & Universal IEMs that include memory wire for 2 pin connection option. This is typically used for IEMs like JH Audio, Noble Audio, Empire Ears and many others that utilize a cable that wraps around the ear.

The second option was specifically designed for the new Audeze IEMs. Such as Audeze iSine10, iSine20 & LCD-i4 with a 2 pin connection that offers a locking channel and no memory wire for a direct drop down cable from the IEMs.

Silver Dragon IEM Cable V1 uses a coaxial design, constructed with UP-OCC 99.99998% pure silver center conductor. It is then wrapped concentrically by a 15-18% ratio silver plated conductor, using the same varying size stranding and Kevlar reinforcement in both conductors that is used in other Dragon Cables. The left and right signal cables run parallel to each other, resulting in a very low inductance. Both signal paths are wrapped in a final polyethylene jacket, creating a cable that is extremely flexible yet resilient and resistant to flex failure.

A variety of connection options are available for your downstream connection such as the mini plug, RCA, XLR and many others. We custom build these cables in-house to your connection specifications. The cable can be used in either a single-ended or a balanced design. The wire is soldered to a connector using high-quality Cardas silver solder. No flimsy or stiff cables are made here at Moon Audio so throw out that cheap stock cable and bring your Custom IEMs here to Moon Audio.

Connecting the Silver Dragon IEM Cable

• Red: Right Channel
• Blue: Left Channel
• Dots should always point up

With the red dot facing upward, slide the connector straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the blue dot and the left IEM.

Hack Your Headphones

Dragon Cables are an easy do-it-yourself upgrade to your favorite headphones with detachable cables. With a wide array of connection options, a plug-and-play cable is just a few clicks away.

"If making deep connections with your music is important...products like the Silver Dragon cables can act as a conduit to that grand connection. I'm never giving mine up..."
