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.
