PROPHECY CRYOSILVER REFERENCE DUALCONDUIT IEEE 1394 FIREWIRE

The cable features cryogenically treated 5N UltraPure solid silver conductors, air dielectric, transparent pure PTFE Teflon isolators, discrete shielding for each pole within the array, and Ceramic MicroSphere™ conduits with separate power and signal cabling.

FireWire cables feature a groundbreaking new design – DualConduit™ – for separate power and signal cables.

This cable actually has two specially designed cables. One cable conduit handles only delicate digital music signals. No damage to computer power is allowed through this cable’s legs. It’s designed for ultra-high-end digital audio cables. The other cable conduit handles only DC power and ground. It’s designed for ultra-high-end audio power – digital music signals do not pass through this cable’s legs.

It is well known that when signal and power cables are installed parallel to each other or close together, the radiated magnetic field and any radiated noise from the power cables can affect the signal cables and degrade the quality of fine music signals. However, virtually every FireWire cable on the market integrates the signal and power cables into a single cable – and we can clearly see how this architecture degrades sound quality.

Some high-end FireWire cables feature separately shielded signal and power lines. However, while this is an improvement, the two lines remain parallel and closely adjacent within the same cable, constantly causing noise reflections within the shield, which severely degrades sound quality. The power line in FireWire transmits a significant amount of “noise” that comes from the power bus of the source device (computer). This “corrosive force” severely degrades the quality of the digital music signal being transmitted, and therefore, greatly reduces audio quality. While our previous designs provided separate shielding for each conductor pole—superior to most cables on the market (and included in this latest design)—it addressed this issue and was far superior to typical FireWire cables. Our DualConduit™ design provides ultimate isolation between the signal and power lines. Our latest FireWire design features two separate wires, each consisting of a shielded structure, achieving 100% shielding through a heavy-duty, solid, silver-plated copper stranded wire shield. This is the only FireWire cable that successfully prevents noise interaction between the power and signal lines.
