Pecision Inteface Technology Phono Inteconnect Cables INTRODUCTION Signals fom catidges ae highly sensitive to hum, noise and vaious foms of intefeence. The connecting cable between the catidge and pe-amplifie must ensue that the tiny output signal of the catidge is optimally tansfeed to the pe-amplifie and at the same time that unwanted distubances, RFI, etc. ae ejected Afte most thoough analysis of the specific equiements and the limitations of cuent phono cable designs, FM ACOUSTICS has developed the wold s ultimate phono inteconnect cables. Pecision Inteface Technology - o shot: "P.I.T."- phono cables ae optimized fo each individual application and allow pistine tansfe of signals fom toneams to unbalanced, pseudo-balanced as well as tue balanced phono pe-amplifies. The fact that the epoduction of existing systems can be impoved massively by just exchanging the phono cables is athe enticing. With a Pecision Inteface Technology Phono Inteconnect clea impovements ae guaanteed. With the offe fo a fee tial thee is no isk whatsoeve. DIFFERENT SYSTEMS REQUIRE DIFFERENT INTERCONNECTION Pecision Inteface Technology phono inteconnect cables ae unique. Thei unmatched neutality is the esult of an in-depth undestanding of low-level signal tansmission and low level amplification. Because of the vaiety of toneam configuations, connectos and phono pe-amplifies, diffeent systems equie diffeent solutions. In the P.I.T. ange application specific phono inteconnects ae available that will optimize any application. These diffeent cable vesions povide the coect solution fo each of the vaious catidge to phono pe-amplifie inteconnections. FEATURES Pecision Inteface Technology Phono Inteconnect cables make exclusive use of FORCESHIELD, a popietay new tiple shielding technology that guaantees zeo inductance. The tiple bifila HF shield ejects RF and othe intefeences. Futhemoe it's ulta high flexibility avoids any mechanical stain to the tuntable / toneam combination, a vey impotant aspect especially with subchassis type tuntables! 1
P.I.T. PHONO INTERCONNECTS achieve a signal-to-noise atio and intefeence ejection of 132dB (which is 20dB to 50dB bette(!) than the othe high-quality inteconnect cables) guaantee optimal shielding fom 0Hz to above 100MHz eliminate intefeence signals by 100% pope conduction to gound povide unpaalleled shield coveage of 99.9% even when cables ae bent (a situation whee othe cables loose effective shielding). featue ulta-accuate balancing (magnitudes bette than othe so-called "balanced" cables). ae totally tanspaent and guaantee that the chaacteistics of the catidge pass uncoloued povide extemely high ejection of magnetically and electically induced coupling achieve lowest cosstalk guaantee vey low esidual system noise floo esulting in bette dynamic contast and impoved signal to noise atio allow absolutely phase accuate signal tansfe peseve time coheence eliminate time smea and pevent skin effect thoughout the audio bandwidth povide a signal-tansfe speed 1000 times faste than needed fo pefect audio epoduction ae caefully optimized with consideation fo all vaiables, including diffeent catidge types and diffeent types of pe-amplifie input stages employ a pefectly floating shield avoid mechanical stain on toneam/tuntable connectos. P.I.T. cables have much highe flexibility and allow the tonam/tuntable to float feely without the often expeienced mechanical stain on the tuntable suspension ae available in many dedicated vesions with staight o angled 5 Pin DIN toneam connectos, pecision RCA-Phono and XLR connectos cay a lifetime waanty 2
CABLE TYPES & CONNECTORS In all P.I.T. cables, pecision connectos ae used. The RCA/Phono connectos incopoate a unique exponentially enhanced contact aea that takes into account the toleances of the usual RCA/Phono eceptables. Sping loaded, self cleaning contacts assue pope connection. Connecting noises, thumps o impulses that could cause hum and ham the equipment ae thus avoided. The pecision machined contacts secue the gound befoe the signal pin makes contact. Efficient stain elief techniques ae used. Manufactuing and soldeing techniques of the highest standad ae employed. Pecision Inteface Technology inteconnects ae painstakingly handcafted in Switzeland and come with a lifetime waanty. SELECTING THE CORRECT PHONO CABLE Type CA 25141 - CA 25143 Phono M XLR M (MC+MM) Ulta flexible, tue balanced phono cable. It allows tue balanced connection of MM and MC catidges to the inputs of tue balanced phono peamplifies (the FM 222). It must be ealized that all phono catidges ae pincipally balanced. With the usual Phono-Peamplifie inteconnection cables these ae, howeve, tansfomed into an unbalanced configuation.
