The exemplary fit and finish, advanced engineering, and precision geometry employed in their ICs evidences this. Claims like this are, of course, ludicrous and laughable.Īudience is a company that designs their cables on sound electrical principles not nonsense. Each interconnect is further subjected to 60 hours of electrical burn-in on an Audio Dharma cable cooker.įar too many cable OEMs make moronic claims that their “miracle” wires are dipped in a magical elixir of reconstituted Himalayan albatross tears and liquefied cosmic unicorn farts. Their EVHT process blasts every pair with 800,000 volts of electricity.
All of Audience’s ICs are directional and cryo-treated. The XLR IC is twice this girth at a ½” in diameter and features a differential balanced design. Audience’s Studio ONE interconnects use high quality fine-stranded OFC copper (Cu) conductors that are wound in opposite directions.Īt about ¼” in diameter, the Studio ONE RCA interconnect is svelte. Cords that are thicker and stiffer than a Keanu Reeves monologue do nothing for me. If you want anaconda-sized girth and frozen fire hose weight in ICs, look elsewhere.įrom an installation standpoint, I’ve always preferred thinner and more flexible cables. By audiophile standards, Audience’s interconnects are slender. Any audiophile who’s auditioned Eichmann’s bullet plugs knows that, when engineered correctly, less can be more. In cabling as in life, it’s not necessarily the size of the ship, but the motion of the ocean that creates the magic. For a deeper technical dive, please visit Audience’s website for a white paper on eddy currents. In theory, this lower mass and lower impedance reduces eddy currents. To lower impedance and strengthen the signal flow, Audience’s interconnects are thin in diameter. Similarly, the diameter of an electrical conductor and the mass of its connecting plugs can significantly affect how electrons flow through it. The diameter of a garden hose and an adjustable nozzle can dramatically impact the flow of the water through said hose. Changes to the Studio ONE ICs include: 1), an improved XLPE ultra high quality cross-linked polyethylene dielectric and 2), Audience’s new proprietary Extreme High Voltage Process (EVHP) burn-in treatment. The new Studio ONE interconnects employ the same geometry as their discontinued Au24 SE wires. Studio ONE is where musicians go to create magic, to dig deep and bring forth their dreams.” “At the best recording studios in the world, Studio ONE is the biggest and best sounding room in the building. Their new loom of Studio ONE cables sits in the middle of their range of wires. When the opportunity to review pairs of Audience’s new Studio ONE single-ended RCA and balanced XLR interconnects came to fruition, I was happier than a financially destitute person living out of their car holding a winning Powerball lottery ticket.īased out of San Marcos California, Audience AV has been crafting audiophile cables, loudspeakers, and A/C power conditioners since 1979. Hooking up a high-end stereo system with low-quality cabling always results in flat, 2-dimensional, lifeless sound. If the flow of electrons is polluted by A/C line hash, eddy currents, RFI, and/or EMI, then the sound quality of the music will be compromised. The sound quality (or lack thereof) of any recorded music reproduction system is entirely dependent on the quality of the electrical signal flowing through it.
