Abbey Road Monitor Interconnect Cable
The screen-free aspect of this starquad interconnect cable means it has very low capacitance. It gives one of the best listening experiences, as reported by prominent audiophiles, compared to other cables of several times more cost. This reflects the design focus toward achieving a phase coherent response.
The cable is available as boxed stereo pairs terminated with Neutrik RCA Phono plugs or Neutrik gold plate pin XLR connectors.
Abbey Road Reference Interconnect Cable
Abbey Road Reference Interconnect is the flagship interconnect cable. It features fine stranded, pure, oxygen free copper (OFC) conductors combined with fast olefinic/nitrogen primary dielectric and secondary, solid polyethylene skin. This cable has a fast and light response and benefits from ‘burning in' the dielectric. Because of its low dielectric, the cable is at home with valve and other sensitive high end equipment.
The screen-free design of the interconnect cable maintains capacitance to a minimum. The design principles of phase coherence, low capacitance and excellent speed of propagation give both clarity and an improved audio image. The final result is an exceptional listening experience.
The cable is available as boxed stereo pairs terminated with Eichmann Bullet RCA Phono plugs or Neutrik gold plate pin XLR connectors.
Abbey Road Reference Digital Interconnect Cable
Abbey Road AES digital cable is new, but already proven:- At the world renowned Olympic Studios, a competitors 6m AES cable was struggling with a 192Khz AES single. When the engineer replaced it with a 40m roll of Abbey Road cable, the producer found the results perfect. This illustrates the extraordinarily fast and detailed reproduction you get with Moving Air's cable.
“I was really impressed with this cable. The new digital cable blew every other digital cable out the water. I am currently using the Abbey Road ' Reference' speaker cable at Olympic Studios; it has excellent imagery and natural clarity across a wide range of production styles that gives a sense of truth to the sound. It is an amazingly accurate cable.”
The cable is available as a fully specified AES-ebu, balanced digital interconnect with Neutrik XLR terminations, or as unbalanced with Eichmann RCA phono bullet connectors.
Abbey Road Carbon Screened Power Chord
Moving Air has conquered the quest for fast, yet 100% screened power cable. Where braided screens are used, screen cover is usually around 80-90% due to gaps in the braid. Also, the metal increases cable capacitance significantly, which slows the cable down. Moving Air developed a heavily loaded carbon jacket that works in conjunction with a drain wire to screen the power chord. Not only does this mean 100% coverage, it also means capacitance is kept to a minimum, keeping it fast and able to service the transients and details in music faithfully We are really pleased with the performance of this novel design.
The new Abbey Road Power Chord complements the Abbey Road speaker and interconnect cables, contributing to excellent system imagery and natural clarity across a wide range of production styles to give a sense of truth to the sound.
Abbey Road Monitor Speaker Cable
1.5mm monitor two-core speaker cable featuring Abbey Road Cable's low capacitance, fast insulation construction. It features their patent high purity, ultra-fine stranded OFC copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) hybrid and dual layer dielectric system that makes the range of cable extremely fast and detailed. Designed with speed and phase linearity in mind, this speaker cable gives excellent imagery and a natural clarity across a wide range of production styles.
The cable is available as stereo pairs, terminated with high conductivity, gold plated 4mm plugs.
Abbey Road Monitor Bi-wire Speaker Cable
Abbey Road Monitor series cable is based on the same phase coherence and high-speed principles as the award winning ‘Abbey Road Reference' range. It is a high purity, ultra-fine stranded OFC copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) hybrid, with a special dual layer olefinic and nitrogen gas dielectric combination. The cable has been designed for optimal speed and phase linearity in and well beyond the audio spectrum.
The patent conductor and dual layer insulation system makes the range of cable extremely fast and the phase linearity gives excellent imagery and a natural clarity across a wide range of production styles.
The cable is available as stereo pairs, terminated with high conductivity, gold plated 4mm plugs.Bi-wires are terminated at one end with one connector per conductor, and at the other with a pair of conductors common in each connector.
Abbey Road Reference Speaker Cable
Abbey Road Reference cable is the flagship of the range. This cable is the one currently being used at EMI Abbey Road 's studios.
Designed with scientific principles and the guidance of some of the best engineers in the business, this patented high purity, ultra-stranded OFC copper (Cu)/silver (Ag) hybrid and olefinic/nitrogen dielectric combination is optimised for speed and phase linearity within and well beyond the audio spectrum. It gives excellent imagery and a natural clarity across a wide range of production styles.
The cable is available as stereo pairs, terminated with high conductivity, gold plated 4mm plugs.
Abbey Road Reference Bi-wire Speaker Cable
Abbey Road Reference' cable is the flagship in their range and is used in EMI Abbey Road 's studios.
The Bi-Wire sets are made using two parallel sets of Reference Speaker cable. In the exacting environments that these cables are listened to using two individual two-core cables preserves the fast detailed reproduction of the cable. All reference speaker and bi-wire cables are supplied with the outstanding Eichmann Bullet Plug connectors.
Abbey Road Reference cable controls loudspeakers accurately across the full audio spectrum and into the very high musical harmonics to give outstanding detail, transparency and clarity.
The cable is available as stereo pairs, terminated with high conductivity, gold plated 4mm plugs.Bi-wires are terminated at one end with one connector per conductor, and at the other with a pair of conductors common in each connector.
