The Cyprium interconnect features true 75Ω impedance from tip to tip. Its solderless joining method guarantees no impedance bumps where cable meets connectors. Disimilar metals result in an impedance of approximately 25Ω and exhibit extremely poor return loss performance. Moreover, dissimilar metals can lead to the corrosion and degradation of connectors. Noble Soundlab’s use of solderless, premium connectors translates into long life and pure, undiluted 75Ω signal transmission. In fact, our joining method is so exact, oxygen is fully excluded from entering the joint altogether.

Dual layers of braided copper shielding guarding the pure copper center conductor render interference all but nonexistent. A variety of shield types are used in the industry: a spiral shield wound around the dielectric; a braided shield woven from tiny wires; foil used alone; a braid and foil combination; or multiple braid and/or foil layers. As varied as the methods, so are the materials used; but when flexibility is required, the finest shield for reduction of interference has been proven to be copper braid. The density and signal transfer properties of copper absorb and disperse interference so well, signals travels unimpeded. Noble uses not one, but two layers of copper braid, and this lets our pure copper conductors work at transfering signal without contamination.
