Introducing the Furutech NCF Clear Line-XLR Line Optimizer, the latest addition to Furutech’s Clear Line range designed to elevate the performance of your audio or video system. Building on the success of the NCF Clear Line AC optimizer, these compact and user-friendly signal line optimizers are crafted to enhance the quality of your system's signal lines with remarkable simplicity.
Furutech NCF Clear Line-XLR Line Optimizer
Furutech's NCF Clear Line-XLR Line Optimizer, an evolution of the acclaimed Clear Line AC Optimizer, introduces a groundbreaking solution for audio enthusiasts seeking to enhance their system's signal lines. This compact device effortlessly integrates into any spare XLR output or input terminal, providing a user-friendly means to elevate the quality of amplifiers, DACs, CD/DVD/SACD players, and more. Its simplicity of use belies its profound impact – a significant improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio delivers heightened detail, clarity, and an enriched soundstage marked by vividness and greater contrast. With Furutech's exclusive Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) technology at its core, the NCF Clear Line-XLR showcases the brand's commitment to innovation, bringing the benefits of NCF's unique crystalline material, capable of eliminating static and converting thermal energy into far infrared, to the forefront of home audio.
The NCF Clear Line-XLR's construction incorporates premium materials, including rhodium-plated, pure copper conductors, and an outer body formed with NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. Advanced damping features such as audio-grade ceramic capacitors, pressure-sealed internal air chambers, and a two-stage 'Alpha' cryogenic and demagnetization process for metal parts contribute to its superior performance. With Furutech's commitment to simplicity and excellence, the NCF Clear Line-XLR Line Optimizer emerges as a transformative addition to audio setups, promising an immersive and refined audio experience that captures the essence of the original recording.
Features
- NCF Technology: At the heart of the NCF Clear Line-XLR is Furutech's proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) – a unique crystalline material that generates negative ions to eliminate static and converts thermal energy into far infrared. Combined with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder, NCF serves as the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material, exclusively featured in Furutech products.
- Immediate Improvement: With a simple plug-and-play design, the NCF Clear Line-XLR instantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in increased detail, clarity, and enhanced reproduction of subtle nuances. Experience a more vivid and deep soundstage, tighter bass notes, and sweeter, cleaner midrange and treble.
- Dual Mono Configuration: While a single unit provides noticeable enhancements, using two optimizers – for instance, one per channel in dual mono setups – delivers even greater improvements, allowing for a customized and advanced audio experience.
- Construction Excellence: The NCF Clear Line-XLR features rhodium-plated, pure copper conductors with one-piece construction, injected with heat-resistant NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. The outer body is meticulously crafted with NCF liquid crystal polymer resin, incorporating a blend of nylon, fiberglass, nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, and carbon powder within a multi-layered NCF, non-magnetic stainless steel, and carbon fiber shell.
- Advanced Damping: The device includes audio-grade ceramic capacitors treated to suppress resonance and eliminate noise induced at the equipment’s input or output terminals. The pressure-sealed internal air chamber and specially designed end cover with molded channels further enhance resonance damping.
- Premium Materials: All metal parts undergo Furutech's two-stage ‘Alpha’ cryogenic and demagnetization process, ensuring stress-free, stable, and highly conductive metal for superior audio and video performance.
- Burn-In Time: To achieve optimal performance, Furutech recommends a suggested burn-in time of 24 hours.
