Description - ETI Research Australia XLR 2pcs/set tellurium cooper/silver 1 set

ETI Research kryo connector XLR

• Major components made from Tellurium Copper with Silver plating with no Nickel for superior conductivity and long-lasting tarnish-free durability.
• The Copper connector is lathed from one piece of Copper, with as much material removed as possible to allow for minimal resistance and capacitance, yet retaining the ability to transfer the current needed.
• Housings made from Brass for superior vibration damping and high EMI/RF noise rejection.
• Your choice of two housing sizes to suit a variety of audio cables.

For a long time XLR connectors with some type of Copper have been available but many of the male pins have too much mass, which causes excessive capacitance and alters the sound. Some of these XLR connectors had Copper male connectors while the female connectors were still Brass formed! This is because the hollow nature of the female pin was difficult to machine and a lot cheaper to make by using the original pins formed in Brass molds.

ETI Research was still not interested because this defeated the purpose of using Copper for greater sound quality. The next step to produce female connectors out of Copper was undertaken by rolling flat Copper to make the female connection. This resulted in more problems when it came to uniformity because the surface contact area for inserting the Male was not consistent and could make the connection unstable.

Associated with these problems was surface thickness. ETI Research has found the best sounding thickness for low-voltage connectors: Thicker causes negative influences in sound quality, as did going too thin. We feel the best connector has the least effect on sound and that is what ETI Research works to achieve. So we waited until we could manufacture what we felt was the best on the market.

The ETI Research Kryo XLR Connector has both male and female connectors CNC machined with optimum wall thickness  and made from Tellurium Copper for durability, which is important for long-term use. The result in the unsurpassed Kryo XLR Connector you see today.

The ETI Research Kryo XLR Connector refinements include:

Copper machined connectors, both male and female
Silver plated without any Nickel
Teflon dielectric
Brass housing for superior vibration damping and EMI/RF noise rejection.
Short housing to help the XLR cable not extend too much for better cable management
