Furutech FT-785M(R) High Performance Male 3-Pin XLR Socket (each) Ensures Pure Signal Integrity
Furutech FT-785M(R) High Performance Male 3-Pin XLR Socket (each) is a premium-grade solder-type connector designed for high-resolution audio, studio equipment, and precision OEM applications. Developed under Furutech’s renowned Pure Transmission engineering philosophy, this single socket delivers ultra-clean, low-impedance signal transfer while eliminating resonance and microphonic distortion through advanced materials and proprietary damping technology. Every element, from the contact plating to the resonance control system, reflects meticulous craftsmanship and acoustic transparency demanded by high-end system designers and discerning DIY audio builders.
FT-785M(R) Uses α (Alpha) Pure Copper and Rhodium Plating for Optimal Conductivity
FT-785M(R) male sockets are fitted with α (Alpha) pure copper conductors, subjected to a two-step cryogenic and demagnetisation process to minimise distortion and maximise conductivity. These conductors are rhodium-plated, offering superior contact performance with high resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and mechanical wear. The solder termination design provides a robust, long-lasting electrical connection, giving builders precise control over installation and signal integrity. This combination of materials ensures clear, dynamic, and noise-free transmission across balanced audio paths.
Furutech FT-785M(R) Reduces Resonance with LCP Resin and Piezo Ceramic Compound
FT-785M(R) XLR connectors incorporate multiple layers of vibration and resonance control. At the core, the pin holder and inner insulation are made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) resin, a material selected for its heat resistance and low dielectric absorption. Encasing the conductor assembly is a matte black nylon/fibreglass housing, reinforced with Furutech’s proprietary Piezo Ceramic Damping Material, which is uniquely infused with nonmagnetic SUS stainless steel plates. This advanced material formulation, applied using a patent-pending process, effectively dampens mechanical resonance and suppresses interference that can cloud midrange clarity and spatial detail.
FT-785M(R) Single XLR Socket Suits Space-Efficient Designs with Rugged Construction
This single 3-pin male XLR socket is purpose-built for space-conscious audio designs, allowing compact installation without sacrificing performance or durability. The outer shell provides structural rigidity while withstanding thermal and mechanical stress common in high-performance setups. Whether you're integrating it into a balanced output stage, high-end DAC, or custom-built preamp, the FT-785M(R) fits cleanly into dense layouts while offering the sonic benefits of vibration-controlled design.
FT-785M(R) Is the Ideal Choice for Audiophile Builds, Pro Audio Gear, and OEM Applications
Engineers, audiophiles, and manufacturers rely on Furutech FT-785M(R) 3-pin male XLR sockets to achieve reference-grade performance. As a single-unit component, it excels in bespoke installations requiring one-off replacements, upgrades, or precision DIY work. Its solder-type contacts make it suitable for custom audio designs and repairs where long-term signal stability and acoustic neutrality are critical. By combining cryogenically-treated copper, rhodium plating, LCP resin, and proprietary damping technology, Furutech delivers a connector that preserves the integrity of your audio signal from source to output.
