Furutech Evolution Audio II(XLR) Balanced Interconnect 1.2m Pair (XLR>XLR)

Furutech Evolution II XLR Interconnects Deliver Reference-Grade Signal Purity

Furutech Evolution II XLR Interconnects are high-fidelity balanced audio cables engineered for audiophiles seeking exacting performance and immersive realism. These 1.2 metre Evolution II Balanced Interconnects (XLR>XLR) embody Furutech’s Pure Transmission design ethos, with cryogenically treated OCC conductors, resonance-dampening materials, and precision-machined connectors that elevate signal integrity across high-end audio systems.

Evolution II Interconnects Preserve Signal Integrity Through α (Alpha) OCC Conductors

Furutech Evolution II Balanced XLR cables are built around α (Alpha) OCC conductors, which consist of ultra-fine mono-crystal strands subjected to Furutech’s proprietary cryogenic freezing and demagnetising process. This molecular-level treatment enhances conductivity by aligning crystal boundaries and reducing residual magnetism that can cause distortion. The result is exceptionally low resistance, transparent signal flow, and outstanding micro-detail retrieval.

Each conductor is formed from 80 strands of 0.18 mm α (Alpha)-treated OCC wire, creating a 1.86 mm diameter signal path with robust current handling and ultra-low signal degradation. Twisted-core geometry with internal cotton yarn minimises electromagnetic interference, while polypropylene insulation further suppresses capacitance and vibrational energy—ensuring effortless transmission of analogue signals with exacting accuracy.

Furutech XLR Interconnects Eliminate Noise with Full Shielding and Anti-Resonant Construction

Furutech Evolution II XLR>XLR cables integrate a full-coverage braided shield made from 0.12 mm α (Alpha) conductor wire, enveloping the signal path to block EMI/RFI contamination. This shield is nested within a non-woven fabric barrier layer, flexible PVC sheath, and a tightly braided nylon jacket that adds durability while suppressing mechanical resonance and microphonics.

To combat structural vibration—a known enemy of sonic clarity—the cable incorporates anti-resonant carbon-infused RoHS-compliant PVC insulation, designed to dampen high-frequency mechanical noise. This meticulous shielding architecture ensures a pitch-black background and ultra-quiet noise floor where the subtlest dynamic shifts and low-level harmonic textures are preserved.

Precision XLR Connectors Maximise Contact Integrity and Minimise Signal Reflection

Evolution II Balanced Interconnects terminate with Furutech FP-701M(G) and FP-702F(G) XLR connectors, which feature gold-plated, non-magnetic α (Alpha) copper alloy pins for pristine contact and signal continuity. These precision-machined terminations are housed in durable, non-magnetic brass shells with PBT dielectrics, reducing eddy currents and inductive noise at connection points.

The result is a connector interface that supports consistent impedance matching, lowers insertion loss, and resists long-term oxidation—factors critical in preserving tonal balance and channel separation over extended use.

Evolution Series II Cables Enhance Dynamic Range, Imaging, and Tonal Accuracy

Furutech Evolution II Series Interconnects offer a perceptible upgrade in transparency, dimensionality, and dynamic expression. Designed for balanced XLR applications in high-performance preamps, DACs, and monoblock amplifiers, these cables render vocals and instruments with tactile realism and authority, free from phase smear or upper-mid glare.

Users report a profound improvement in soundstage depth, harmonic richness, and low-frequency articulation, especially in systems where resolution and noise rejection are paramount. Their 120-ohm characteristic impedance and approx. 42 pF/m capacitance make them suitable for professional-grade and audiophile-grade setups alike.

Furutech Evolution II XLR Cables Bring Studio-Grade Engineering into Audiophile Systems

Furutech Evolution II 1.2M Balanced XLR Cables represent the intersection of cutting-edge material science and audio refinement. Every aspect—from the conductor metallurgy to the vibration-damping insulation and gold-plated connectors—serves the singular goal of uncompromised signal fidelity.

With an architecture focused on noise isolation, mechanical damping, and conductor purity, these cables serve as a definitive upgrade for discerning listeners aiming to unlock the full potential of high-end analogue audio components in balanced systems.
