Auric Hook Up Wire

Audience makes two versions of Auric hook up wire; regular and OHNO (mono crystalline). The standard Auricap capacitor lead wire is Auric hook up wire. Audience sells this sensibly designed, down to earth, easy to work with, natural sounding hook up wire. Auric wire is made of soft high purity stranded copper; each strand individually polished for better electron flow. There are 19 strands in the 21 AWG and 30 strands in the 18 AWG. The insulation is high quality cross linked polyethylene. The cross linked polyethylene insulation resists shrinking when soldering and has excellent dielectric properties, close to Teflon without the drawbacks, and it sounds excellent. Auric hook up wire is cryogenically treated. For loudspeaker hook up apply a mild twist to the + and – to minimize radiation, noise pick up and reduce inductance.

Auric OHNO hook up wire is identical to the standard wire in every way, except that it is made of OHNO wire. The OHNO wire is far superior and is recommended, if budget permits, for signal and speaker hook up. Audience uses the OHNO 21 AWG wire exclusively throughout all audience components and loudspeakers and Aura-T capacitor leads (@ less than 1uF). The performance of Auric OHNO wire is very similar to that of Audience Au24 cables.

OHNO WIRE

*Wire is made from casting molten copper into long rods or bars that eventually are drawn through a tiny orifice that creates a copper wire. Copper crystals, generated during rapid cooling in the traditional casting process, act as an impediment to the natural flow of the signal. This is because the random orientation of these copper crystals forms an irregular mosaic pattern that impedes the flow of electrons.

What was needed was a single crystal copper casting process.

In 1986 the Continuous Casting (OCC) process was introduced to the world. High Pure single crystal Copper was developed by professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan. OCC is a single, long grain copper structure built by using a heated mold, that solves the rapid cooling process problems. The results are small rods of pure copper, from which the wire can be drawn and we get single copper grain of over 700 feet in length!

In 2000, The technique of SGSS continuous casting of single Crystal meta, a new process to make wire, got great success in our Factory named Single in China,. cooperated with China Famous Lanzhou University. It has a characteristic of making a long metal wire with single crystal. The single crystal copper round rod is only made from one grain, the grain boundary does not exist. The multiple crystal copper round rod is made from innumerable grains, The grain boundary exist between grain and grain. All of the upcast OFC (oxygen free copper) and SCR oxygen low copper are multiple crystal copper

High Pure Single Crystal copper is superior to OFC copper in the same construction cable. It's a much more expensive but it's worth the extra expense as we believe we have generated a far superior interconnect using SGSCC materials in the conductors.

Though making a study of boundary theory, It is known that the grain boundaries especially vertical conductor’s axis are equal to a series of condensers in series. When the audio and video wave of any frequently range pass through the grain boundaries, these grain boundary condensers must be charged and discharged, and the wave can be reflected and reflected at the same time. As a result, the shape of a wave is out of original shape and the energy of wave is attenuated. The change of shape and energy of the signal wave influence the quality of signal transmission. The signal is not true to the original, and the distortion is CCD (Cross Crystal Distortion).

The experiment proved the influence that the grain boundary of wire conductor does harm to audio signal transmission, though the electrical conductivity of non-crystalline mercury (Hg) is one tenth of copper, the quality of audio signal transportation is satisfactory. The theory of grain boundary doing harm to audio signal transportation is approved by people of the Hi-Fi world. They are of the same view that single crystal wire without grain boundary is most ideal wire, a lot of famous HI-Fi cables are made from single crystal copper. It is accepted that the single crystal copper is the most ideal conductor of Hi-Fi cable by more and more people of the Hi-Fi world.

Up to now, the SGSCC single crystal copper has been made into Hi-Fi signal cables. Speaker cables, microphone cables, guitar cables and plugs, and these cables are sold well all over the world. The sound effects of these Hi-Fi cables is remarkable. The background of tone quality is quiet, the timber is exquisite and sweet. The difference of sound effects between high frequency ban and low frequency band is clearly. The diaphaneity, bloom, ambience and space perception of the sound are excellent. These Hi-Fi cables have come to the world standards of best quality wire and thousands of Hi-Fi lovers are keen on them.
