What are the advantages of the FIIO Furukawa monocrystalline copper headphone cable?
A high-end headphone cable should be high-quality in all aspects. Compared to the typical headphone cable, the LC-RC 2024 ensured that this cable not only contains not only high-quality materials, but also has gone through careful design considerations regarding material processing, build quality, and ergonomics informed by our seventeen years of acoustic design experience – to fully unleash the potential of your headphones.
Genuine quality materials
The inner wires are genuine Japanese Furukawa products. These wires are renowned for their excellent acoustic performance and is a superb choice for high-end audio purposes.
Secondary refining
Removes impurities and thus further improves the punty of the monocrystalline copper, reduces distortions caused by grain boundaries in the wires
Wire drawing
More than 70 steps of wire forging and drawing are performed to ensure the wires meets the highest quality standards with resulting diameters of only 0.05/0.8mm.
One-way welding
Crystalline one-way welding follows the direction of the crystal grains to ensure less abstruction of signals by the crystals.
Silver-containing solder
The LC-RC 2024 uses a silver-containing lead-free solder to reduce signal loss as much as possible, for a fuller and more transparent sound.
LC-RC 2024 sound characteristics
Transparent mids - Helps to make mids smoother and denser for more transparent and clean vocals, which are a key part of music.
Robust bass - More and better quality bass, making music livelier.
Enhanced dynamics - Significantly enhanced dynamic range while maintaining the original soundstage, making large-scale productions such as symphonies more pleasant to listen to
Optimized overtones - Optimizes transient speeds, allowing you to more easily appreciate subtle overtones for a more 3D feel to your audio.
Overall clarity Thanks to the careful craftsmanship and the thoughtfully designed cable, signal is transmitted more efficiently and without loss, especially those of higher frequencies. The result is a clearer sound that lets the listener get closer to the music, no matter if listening to female vocals or orchestral music.
Genuine Furukawa wires, Imported from Japan
Behind excellent sounding products are high-quality materials. The inner wires of the LC-RC 2024 cable are sourced from Furukawa Denki Industrial Co., Ltd in Japan, with official certification. You can be assured of the cable’s pleasant sound thanks to its genuine quality materials.
Secondary-refined monocrystalline copper
The copper wires in the LC-RC 2024 undergo extensive treatment in order to ensure excellent signal transmission performance through the wires. After undergoing the treatment pores, impurities and grain boundaries in the copper are minimized – allowing signals to travel more unimpeded through the wires, giving the LC-RC 2024 excellent audio performance.
4 strands totaling 480 wires
For earphone cables, a greater number of wires means a larger cross-sectional area, which in turn leads to lower resistance and better conductivity. The FIIO LC-RC 2024 not only uses 1000.05mm diameter Furukawa single-crystal copper wire for each major strand but also employs 20 wires of silver-plated monocrystalline copper wire at the center of each major strand. There are a total of 480 wires across the 4 major strands, with the cross-sectional area totaling 22AWG. Cables are rarely made with such a large amount of high-end materials, making the FIIO LC-RC 2024 an excellent choice as an upgrade to your existing earphones.
