Furutech FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) Deliver Precision Audio Transmission
Furutech FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) 4 Pin Balanced XLR Connectors are high-performance, audiophile-grade terminations engineered to deliver uncompromised signal integrity in demanding balanced audio systems. These premium connectors are specifically designed for enthusiasts, professional technicians, and manufacturers seeking exceptional build quality and optimised conductivity in balanced interconnects, such as those used in high-end headphones, DACs, preamps, and studio gear.
FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) Feature Rhodium-Plated Alpha Copper for Signal Purity
Furutech FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) XLR connectors are precision-machined using rhodium-plated α (Alpha) copper alloy contacts, ensuring exceptionally low resistance and enhanced durability. Rhodium plating provides a stable, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains reliable signal transfer over time, ideal for applications where sonic neutrality and mechanical longevity are paramount. The proprietary α (Alpha) process, which combines cryogenic treatment and demagnetisation, significantly improves conductivity and minimises magnetic interference, ensuring signal fidelity remains intact even under dynamic load.
PBT Fibreglass Insulation Enhances Electrical Isolation
Each Furutech FP-705M & FP-706F connector incorporates a carefully selected PBT and fibreglass composite insulator, designed to withstand high soldering temperatures while providing superior dielectric properties. This material blend reduces parasitic capacitance and mechanical resonance within the connector body, preserving the original signal waveform during transmission. The combination of this insulating medium with the high-quality conductor alloy contributes to a clean, articulate sound profile—especially noticeable in the midrange articulation and high-frequency extension when used in balanced headphone cables or line-level interconnects.
Rugged Zinc Alloy Housings Offer Shielded Durability
Furutech’s FP Series 4-pin XLR connectors are encased in non-magnetic zinc and copper alloy housings with a black painted finish that resists EMI and RFI intrusion. This shielding is essential in professional audio environments where signal chain integrity must be maintained amidst multiple sources of electromagnetic interference. The precisely toleranced end-shell threads and shell alignment contribute to a solid mechanical connection, reducing long-term wear and ensuring minimal microphonics during handling or cable movement.
Solder-Type Terminals Ensure Secure Custom Termination
The FP-705M(R) male and FP-706F(R) female connectors are designed for soldered connections, offering a secure and lasting joint that eliminates the signal degradation common in inferior mechanical contact systems. The solder lugs accommodate a wide range of cable geometries and are specified to support cable diameters up to 9mm, making these connectors ideal for both compact audiophile-grade builds and thicker professional cabling systems.
Compact Dimensions Support Space-Saving Applications
Furutech’s FP-705M and FP-706F 4-pin connectors maintain a space-saving form factor, with diameters under 20mm and lengths just over 63mm, making them a perfect match for tight builds or portable balanced headphone systems. Whether integrated into a custom interconnect for high-end planar magnetic headphones or used in studio-grade balanced patch cables, these connectors strike a fine balance between robust construction and installation flexibility.
FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) Provide High-Fidelity Balanced Connectivity
The Furutech FP Series XLR connectors, including the FP-705M(R) male and FP-706F(R) female 4-pin variants, are designed for balanced signal transfer in audiophile, broadcast, and recording studio applications. Their low impedance design, premium metallurgy, and shielded structure allow them to be used in noise-sensitive setups without compromising performance. These connectors are widely adopted in high-end headphone cables, such as Audeze, Focal Utopia, and HiFiMAN balanced rigs, where low resistance and precise pin alignment are essential for safe and accurate signal delivery.
Furutech FP-705M(R) & FP-706F(R) connectors are a trusted choice for those seeking a professional-grade solution that merges acoustic transparency with mechanical resilience.
