Transparent ULTRA Headphone Cable

The Transparent ULTRA Headphone Cable is part of the high-performance cable range from Transparent Audio of Maine, USA — available in New Zealand from The Sound Store, Rosedale, Auckland.

Like all Transparent Audio Cables, the new ULTRA Headphone Cable has a network to reduce noise, control the effects of resonance on a music signal, and optimize audio performance for the specific length of cable. The networks on ULTRA Headphone Cables are the result of hours of testing and listening and are exclusively developed for headphone signal characteristics.

Transparent designed the headphone cable as dual-isolated channels that have been optimized for electrical and mechanical performance to reduce noise. The cable design is highly flexible with a soft, quiet, comfortable, tightly woven fabric sleeve.

The ULTRA Headphone Cable joins to the headphone leads with a 2-piece coupler. Each headphone cable set comes with 1 detachable headphone lead with the connector option of choice. Additional leads with a variety of connector options are readily available through Transparent dealers; thereby making it unnecessary to buy different cables for different headphones. All single, dual, and balanced headphone amplifier terminations are also available, and changeable amplifier ends are a custom option to accommodate a collection of multiple amplifiers.

The addition of Transparent Network Technology means that the ULTRA Headphone Cable transmits more of the tonal and dynamic power of the music and far more of the subtle you-are-there spatial information than one can experience with typical headphone cables.
