MonsterÆ Introduces XLNÆ Pro, The Most Dynamic Audio Cable In The Universe With Delta Factorô Technology
Monster CableÆ Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, car audio, AC Power Solutions and computer cables and accessories, is introducing a true breakthrough in high-end audio interconnecting cables - XLNÆ Pro with Delta Factorô Technology. Some people prefer their music loud and others are concerned with hearing absolute silence during quiet passages. There are plenty of speakers and high powered amplifiers that can handle heart pounding, building shaking dB levels with no problem. However, keeping the noise out of quiet passages is not so easy. The problem is that the maximum level of an audio system is defined by the amplifiers and speakers, but the bottom end of the dynamic range usually resides within the limits of the noise floor of the listening environment. For a system with 100dB of dynamic range, the noise floor is 100dB lower than the loudest passages. This is why in noisy environments such as cars and home theaters, it is not uncommon for at least 30dB of noise to creep into the bottom range of the signal. With ordinary car audio interconnects with noise inductively couples into the cables and ends up in the audio as alternator whine or 60Hz hum. This noise is most noticeable during quiet passages. With ordinary cables, the system levels are set to minimize the interference, but at the cost of restricting the dynamic range and/or bandwidth. With the advent of the new DVD-Audio format and the emerging SACD (Sony-Philips Super Audio CD) medium, the dynamic range is specified at 120dB with an increased bandwidth of 100kHz. These are tremendous numbers to achieve in the lab, and nearly impossible in the listening environment. At these levels, shields on signal cables become antennas and capture more noise. Even the best coaxial, twisted pair, and balanced cables are of little consequence when measuring a signal that is 120dB below a few volts. Monster's XLNÆ Pro is the only cable in the world specifically designed to faithfully reproduce this increased range and extended bandwidth! Monster XLNÆ Pro is no ordinary audio interconnect. It features the patent-pending Delta Factor, a revolutionary technology developed by Autosound 2000 experts David Navone and Richard Clark, who also co-developed Monsterís groundbreaking XLNÆ Xtra Low NoiseÆ technology. Delta Factor technology optimizes the relationship between the conductors and the changing magnetic field so that the noise does not get into the signal. When compared to regular cables under laboratory conditions, Monsterís XLNÆ Pro delivers more than 100dB of noise rejection, the absolute best in the world. The results of wiring your system with XLNÆ Pro cable are smoother, clearer highs, greater dynamic range, lower distortion, increased useable bandwidth, and better overall sound reproduction - even at volumes that are at the thresholds of human hearing. When it comes to killer cable, XLNÆ Pro doesnít just stop there. Patented Time CorrectÆ wire networks ensure that music is reproduced in correct amplitude and phase for smoother, more natural sound. 24k gold contact TurbineÆ connectors maximize corrosion resistance and signal transfer. The braided nylon mesh DuraflexÆ jacket provides a lifetime of durability and long-lasting good looks. Monster XLNÆ Pro retails for $119.95/5 meter and Monster Studio Grade XLNÆ Pro retails for $159.95/5 meter. Monster Cable is located in Brisbane, California.
