Equinox Balanced K701
 
Audiophile Headphone Cable


the Equinox Balanced K701  with an all black finish (black sheathing from the amplifier connector then black cable from the split to the headphone connection) is  designed to dramatically improve the AKG K701's sonic performance. The Equinox balanced allows the user to connect the K701's to a balanced preamp or dedicated headphone amplifier for a true professional audiophile experience. Stefan AudioArt audiophile headphone cable provide comprehensive sonic improvement and the new Equinox takes the K701's to an unprecedented level of performance. The Equinox K701 cable is a continuation of our unique approach to the performance enhancement of high end headphones through the thorough analysis of structural and electrical signal path properties.

The Stock Cable Shortcomings: The AKG stock wiring design sends the right channel through the two plastic coated solid steel headband wires and then uses high gauge chassis wires to complete the path to the + and  - driver posts. This degrades the right (and left) channel signal path and forces the right channel signal to travel about 22" further. As for the AKG stock cable itself, the high gauge wire and the thick rubber/plastic dielectric decreases the bass response, flattens the sound-stage and veils the audio spectrum.

The Solution: The new Stefan AudioArt Equinox K701 headphone cable is wired directly to the left and right AKG headphone drivers, thus eliminating the headband pass through. This allows the right and left channel signal paths to travel equal distance and removes a significant portion of the pollution. Specifically, the headband pass through contributes to a reduction in sound-stage and loss of definition and detail.
 
Discover How Good the K701 Headphones Really Sound: The Equinox K701 cable formula uses a lower gauge wire and minimizes dielectric pollution. The new formula opens up the sound-stage, increases and adds weight and definition to the bass response and warms up the mid-range. The new formula also removes the veil from the entire frequency spectrum which is specifically noticeable in low frequency attack and the mid and upper treble range.

Construction: 4-conductor quad-braid field geometry cable consisting of linear induced  isolation constructed ultra pure copper enclosed with a Teflon/Oxygen dielectric finished in minimum absorption Techflex The Equinox headphone cable incorporates proprietary contact enhanced professional connectors with either male or female XLR configuration. The Equinox cable is assembled with a special handcrafted process which has been refined over many years to meet the state of the art audiophile standard.
