NOBUNAGA Labs Introduces VISION16 Series Headphone Cable
NOBUNAGA Labs has officially launched the VISION16 Series, a high-end headphone cable designed to elevate audio expression to new heights. This innovative product employs 4N pure silver with palladium plating in a 16-core configuration, ensuring an impressive sound quality that captures the nuances of music like never before.
Exceptional Sound Quality
The VISION16 headphone cable incorporates a unique structure made up of 16 cores of pure silver, highlighted with palladium plating, to achieve a wide frequency range and stunning resolution. This construction allows the sound's texture and detail to flourish, bringing out subtle nuances and an intricate airiness in music. The result is a vivid representation of sound that features clear localization and a wealth of information, creating a spacious soundstage that is both immersive and rich in depth.
Moreover, the reliable structure designed to maintain flexibility ensures that the cable's integrity remains intact, even when subjected to bending or temperature fluctuations. This means consistent signal transmission that meets the expectations of audiophiles.
User-Friendly Design
To enhance usability, the outer layer of the cable is crafted from high-quality PVC, known for its flexibility and durability. Despite the multi-core structure, it remains remarkably supple and easy to handle, reducing touch noise and ensuring a pleasant user experience.
The VISION16 Series supports balanced connections, utilizing independent amplifiers for the left and right channels to minimize crosstalk. This design enhances localization and spatial representation, optimizing the audio performance.
Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
One of the standout features of the VISION16 is its exceptional transmission characteristics. The cable avoids solder joint processing, which would usually introduce resistance. Instead, the handwoven construction maintains an equal pitch for the wires, providing an ideal passage for audio signals without alterations in performance.
NOBUNAGA Labs has also prioritized quality with its Japanese-made plugs. The 4.4mm 5-pole plug features gold plating on all contact points for superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Special treatments during the plating process reduce the likelihood of degradation, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Additionally, the slim shell plug design aids compatibility with various headphone models and establishes stable connectivity, thanks to the 24K gold plating and efficient signal conduction.
Built for Durability
The internal plug casings of the headphone connectors are molded to minimize issues associated with cable attachment and detachment. The flexible resin used alleviates stress on the cable when bent, providing improved durability.
Every aspect of the VISION16, from the plug casings to the Y-branch and cable sliders, is coated with a black anodized aluminum finish for a refined yet understated elegance. The design ensures secure attachment even during use, making it a perfect choice for on-the-go audiophiles.
