Kinki Studio Analog XLR
The EARTH-series balanced XLR interconnect, OEM by Exact Express. Silver-plated monocrystal OCC conductors in a truly balanced geometry, finished with 24K gold-plated connectors — a transparent, vanishingly quiet link between source and amplifier.
A truly balanced path
Silver-plated monocrystal OCC conductors in a balanced geometry reject common-mode noise, keeping distortion vanishingly low from source to amplifier.
A DuPont PTFE Teflon dielectric and polished conductor surface preserve signal purity — every nuance arrives intact.
24K gold, cryo-treated
24K gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and hold signal integrity for the long term.
A −196°C three-stage cryogenic treatment and Absorbing Ring technology deliver a darker background and a clearer, more accurate soundstage.
EARTH technologies
Absorbing Ring technology
A quieter, darker background — soundstage width and depth rendered clearer and more accurate.
Silver-plated OCC cores
Monocrystal copper, silver-plated to 2.2× the thickness of an ordinary silver-plated cable.
Gold-plated copper plugs
Gold-plated monocrystal copper contacts — 1.5× thicker than an ordinary insert.
DuPont PTFE dielectric
Teflon insulation: high insulation coefficient, wear-resistant, transparent and stable.
−196°C three-stage cryo
Deep-freeze treatment refines grain structure and lifts conductivity, reducing electron scattering.
Polished conductor surface
A smoother surface removes machining micro-cracks, lowering conduction distortion.
