The Classic XS MkII IC is a startling design that incorporates the enlarged 0.75 mm² BRC conductors and the advanced CAFPE®/SASDB® insulation/binding combination. The major evolutionary leap was achieved through implementation of the X-Shield® - our patented Multi-Element Shielding System. Higher definition is a consequence of efficient noise reduction. X-Shield® ensures EMI suppression across a wide frequency range - from ELF to SHF, drastically reduces the negative influence of multiple external interferences on the actual audio signal path and further boosts the overall mechanical and damping capabilities. The jacket executed of a Russian-made low-loss SPVC provides excellent mechanical strength and efficient absorption of acoustic noise and vibrational loads. With a more extended and linear frequency response the Classic XS MkII IC became our most technically refined, perfectly balanced and sonically neutral interconnect for the asking price. It performs amazingly dynamic and at the same time delicate, with all the instruments precisely textured. Images are solid and present, life-sized and appropriately contained in a coherent deeply extended and perfectly layered soundstage.
