Van Den Hul The Second Analogue Interconnect Cable

The Second® Balanced Interconnect Cable for Pure Audio Precision

The Second® Balanced Interconnect Cable is engineered for high-fidelity audio transmission, offering an unparalleled listening experience across various audio setups. Following the success of The First® coaxial interlink, The Second® provides a balanced version with state-of-the-art Linear Structured Carbon® (LSC) technology. Developed for demanding audiophiles and audio professionals, this premium cable boasts exceptional clarity and is versatile enough for both single-ended and balanced applications. Its robust, high-quality build makes it ideal for use in professional recording studios, as an instrument cable, or as a long-distance signal transport in home audio systems.

Advanced Dual Linear Structured Carbon® Conductors

The Second® sets a new standard in audio quality with dual LSC conductors, each constructed from 12,000 individually insulated, ultra-fine carbon fibres. These carbon fibres are independently insulated to eliminate electron crossover, ensuring a linear flow of electrons that enhances signal clarity and eliminates interference. By preserving a clean and direct path for electron movement, this unique conductor design minimises distortion, delivering detailed and precise sound reproduction that captures every nuance in the audio signal.

Unmatched Quadruple Shielding for Signal Integrity

Designed with high-grade materials and an intricate construction, The Second® features quadruple shielding that offers exceptional protection from external noise and interference. Two helically wound silver-coated oxygen-free copper (OFC) strands and two layers of LSC provide maximum shielding, keeping the audio signal isolated from external electrical disturbances. This advanced shielding ensures The Second® delivers untainted, high-resolution sound, even in challenging environments, making it a trusted choice for professional and high-end audio systems.

Hulliflex® Jacket for Durability and Flexibility

Encased in a premium light brown Hulliflex® jacket, The Second® is built to endure. Hulliflex® is known for its strength and resilience, providing lasting protection against environmental wear, mechanical stress, and humidity. This material ensures longevity and stable performance, preserving the cable’s capacitance and preventing moisture from affecting the signal. The flexible yet rugged exterior allows for easy handling and installation in diverse settings, from home theatre systems to professional audio setups.

Versatile Applications Across Audio Setups

The Second® is compatible with both RCA and Neutrik XLR connectors, offering flexibility across single-ended and balanced audio setups. Its design enables use as a high-performance interconnect cable for home audio, a long-distance signal transport cable, or a reliable microphone cable in recording studios. Thanks to its consistent performance over extended lengths, The Second® is trusted by professionals for applications requiring precision and reliability across a range of audio equipment.
