Turbine Design® RCA

This is truly the highest quality RCA connector ever made. If you think about it, the connector is also a cable, and whatever attributes are important to cable design, also apply to connector design - and more. That's why Monster's Turbine is made from a single slug of material that is machined out to maintain its mass (other connectors are simply folded over sheet metal), and then each cut is made on an indexing cutter to maintain a precision fit and B maximize the mass of each "finger." There are four features important to the audibility of connectors: Contact Mass Contact Points Contact Area Contact Pressure The Turbine excels in all of these parameters, especially contact pressure, which is important with heavy cables. This means that bass, dynamic range, smoothness and coherency are audible in an excellent connector design.

Oxygen Free Copper (OFC)

As copper is extruded it goes from a liquid to a solid. there are two different types of machines that do this. One lets oxygen atoms in as it forms to a solid and the other does not. If there is no oxygen in the cable it can't corrode from the inside. Thus extending the life of your cable and not interfering with the audio signal.

Bandwidth Balanced®

This technology combines Time Correct windings with the use of selected multiple-gauged constructions to pass the music in correct amplitude and phase. Monster's balanced design interconnect cables use equal conductors for the positive and negative conductors with a passive "ground" shield. The positive signal must be identical to the negative signal, electrically and magnetically, otherwise there will be an imbalance, causing a resultant signal that is a distortion of the original waveform. That is why coaxial cables, commonly used in low cost interconnects (and some high priced ones also), cannot be correctly time compensated and will always be inaccurate.

The results of distortions in wire are audible because in the analog world, we directly hear the electrical signals transferred to vibrations in the air. These vibrations reach our ear drums, which send the signals to our brain, where we interpret them as music. Any distortions in this chain are correctly and accurately detected in our ability to hear variations in frequency and time, which relates to our perceptions of music, harmonic overtones, directionality, dimensionality and space. Monster's Bandwidth Balanced constructions overcome most of these distortions (no wire is perfect) in a way that no other cable can. It's obvious that regardless of the purity of the material used (we have evaluated all the various LCOFC, OCC, six 9's copper, etc.), one must still overcome amplitude and time domain distortions to achieve accurate sound reproduction.

One can hear the frequency extensions, phase characteristics and dimensionality of Monster's three-network Interlink Reference and M1000 Mk III vs. our less expensive two-network Interlink 400, or our network-less Interlink 300, or some other manufacturer's coaxial or balanced cable that has no amplitude or phase compensation at all. Be aware that the use of multiple gauged conductors themselves is no guarantee of sonic accuracy, and that correct winding constructions and accurate manufacturing are significant factors.

Magnetic Flux Tube®

This is the technology of running a dielectric down the middle of a connector bundle or a large insulated wire. The dielectric "breaks up" internal magnetic fields that are strongest at the center, thereby reducing the time related distortions of conventional cable. This design is even incorporated in our lowest priced XP speaker cable, which, when compared to other cables of the equivalent gauge and "look", far outperforms them in the areas of neutrality, smoothness and lack of high-end grittiness. Dynamic range is also more noticeable since the apparent noise level is reduced. We invite you to listen to Monster's speaker cables that employ this unique design technology.

THX Certified Home Theater Cables

All of Monster's THX-certified cables adhere to the rigid THX standards of electrical and mechanical specs to ensure proper system performance. Monster Cables® were the first cables ever to be THX® Certified. Engineers at Monster Cable and Lucasfilm® joined together to design a series of cables for home theater to achieve the highest quality movie soundtrack reproduction, ensure reliability and facilitate ease of installation. THX specification for cables was a combined effort by Monster and Lucasfilm based on Monster's years of experience with many professional and home theater installations, and Lucasfilm's experience with problems in equipment interfacing. Noel Lee, the Head Monster, says of the alliance with THX, "The association between THX and Monster Cable represents a joint cooperation to establish specifications for Home THX cables. The specifications establish not only cable performance but also criteria which corresponds to proper installation, performance reliability and good sound quality." Home Theater systems, with their many channels and components, represent a unique challenge to consumers and installers in maintaining the integrity of audio signals. Cumulative, audible effects of hum and other distortions, as well as miswired systems, are a result of the complexities inherent in multi-channel Home Theater systems. These are among the reasons behind the Home THX product categories of amplifiers, equalizers and cables.
