Key Features

• Silver-Plated, Solid-Core Conductors: The Purple Flare 3 Interconnects are constructed with solid-core, silver-plated oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. This design ensures superior conductivity and minimizes signal loss, allowing for accurate and detailed signal transfer. The silver plating enhances high-frequency performance, resulting in clearer and more refined audio reproduction, particularly for high-resolution audio sources.
• Low-Loss FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Insulation: Nordost uses extruded FEP insulation around each conductor, which provides excellent dielectric properties and minimizes signal loss. This low-loss insulation ensures that the audio signal is transmitted with precision, preserving the integrity, detail, and dynamics of your music, allowing for a more natural and realistic listening experience.
• Mechanically Tuned Lengths: Each Purple Flare 3 Analog Interconnect is cut to specific, mechanically tuned lengths, a process unique to Nordost that reduces internal microphonics and high-frequency impedance resonance. This results in optimal signal transfer and enhances overall audio performance, delivering a cleaner and more accurate sound.
• Precision Twisted Pair Design: The cable features a precision-twisted pair construction, which helps maintain consistent impedance and minimizes crosstalk between conductors. This design reduces signal interference and ensures a more accurate and clean transfer of audio signals, resulting in a more transparent and lifelike sound.
• High-Quality Connectors: The Purple Flare 3 Interconnects come with gold-plated RCA connectors, providing a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. These high-quality connectors ensure reliable signal transfer and maintain the integrity of your audio signal, delivering consistent performance across your audio setup.
