Nobunaga Labs SUPREME Miotsukushi Kiwami
Unparalleled localization of instruments in space and deep, cohesive sound. All of this is the extreme flagship model Nobunaga Labs Miotsukushi Kiwami.
Nobunaga Labs SUPREME Miotsukushi Kiwami is a cable made of sixteen multi-strand conductors of 4N silver with gold plating that transmits a vast amount of information and high-resolution sound, full of reality.
Features:
- Braided structure - 16 conductors
- 35 strands per conductor
- Contacts plated with 24K gold
- 4.4mm NLP-PRO-TP4.4/5 plug
- MMCX connector NLP-MMCX-DIY
- Resistance: less than 0.5 Ohms
4N silver cable with gold addition for natural sound and high resolution
The cable is made of ultra-pure silver, providing fast sound transmission and ensuring delicate and expressive reproduction. The cable is coated with gold plating, resulting in high resolution in the high-frequency range. The balanced, natural, and dynamic sound is achieved through 16 conductors consisting of 35 strands per conductor. This design enhances the sense of localization and volume, as well as emphasizes changes in sound and natural reverberation. Additionally, the round conductor construction ensures flexibility and durability. The cable maintains stable signal transmission even when subjected to bending or sudden temperature changes.
The outer wrapping provides comfortable use
The wrapping possesses numerous excellent properties, such as flexibility, resistance to wear and tear, elasticity, and strength. The coating is very elastic and user-friendly, while also reducing friction noise for comfortable use.
Woven Configuration for Minimizing Sound Signal Degradation
A cable construction consisting of 16 intertwined conductors with a separate grounding cable is used to improve the separation of left and right channels and suppress cross-interferences. The cable ensures clear localization and spatial expression even during unbalanced and low-frequency reproduction with reduced distortions.
Elimination of Signal Loss during Transmission
The ideal construction without distortion of characteristics is achieved by aligning the cable weave and using a cold soldering method for the contacts, ensuring the stated cable characteristics. The perfect construction, which does not alter the transmission characteristics, is achieved by aligning the braid pitch of the cable without using branching soldering processes that cause electrical resistance. The original cable characteristics are fully preserved.
High-quality connector from Japan
Balanced connector of 4.4 mm coated with 24K gold for stable connection and efficient conductivity. Additionally, special treatment after coating prevents issues such as peeling and oxidation erosion over a long period of time. The housing is designed in an original matte black design by NOBUNAGA Labs, which emphasizes simplicity and, at the same time, luxury.
High-quality Japanese MMCX plugs and connectors
The plug is made of high-quality oxygen-free copper with a 24-carat gold coating, which provides a stable connection environment and efficient conductivity. In addition, a special process is applied after the galvanic coating process to prevent problems such as peeling of the coating and oxidative erosion over a long period of time. Part of the housing is designed in the original matte black design by Nobunaga Labs, emphasizing a simple yet luxurious design.
The contacts of the MMCX connector are coated with 24-carat gold to suppress contact resistance and demonstrate high electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the inner part of the housing is molded to minimize problems during attachment and detachment. Part of the housing is designed in the original design by Nobunaga Labs. Black and red lines are applied to the groove to ensure that cable connection markings do not fade even after prolonged use.
Not only the plug and connector housing, but also the Y-shaped splitter is treated with black anodized aluminum to accentuate the simple yet luxurious appearance. Additionally, a cable slider is used to securely fasten it, even when used during movement.
