LS-4004 AIR SW SILVER | Demo-Ware

Die AIR-Technologie ist ein Meilenstein in unserer mehr als 40-jährigen Firmengeschichte und sorgt weltweit für Aufsehen in der HiFi-Branche. Dabei klingt der Ansatz relativ banal: Die physikalisch bedingten Verluste müssen minimiert werden, um das ursprüngliche Musiksignal möglichst unverändert und neutral zu übertragen. Und mit der AIR-Technologie kommt man einer verlustfreien Übertragung so nahe wie nie zuvor. Sie führt zu einer deutlich besseren Tonwiedergabe, die nicht nur subjektiv hörbar, sondern auch objektiv messbar ist. Die Isolation bzw. das Dielektrikum der AIR-Kabel ist dank der Luftisolation nahezu perfekt und beeinflusst den Klang kaum noch. Aufbau, Dimension und Anordnung der Leiter sind optimiert und reizen das physikalisch Machbare voll aus. Um auf dieser Basis audiophiler Perfektion erneut ein klangliches Highlight zu setzen, rückten wir nun das Leitermaterial der Kabel in den Fokus. Kupfer in der entsprechenden Reinheit ist bereits ein sehr guter Leiter. Perfekt wäre ein Supraleiter, der dem Strom keinen ohmschen Widerstand entgegensetzt. Die supraleitenden Eigenschaften des Materials setzen jedoch tiefe Temperaturen von mindestens minus siebzig Grad voraus. Das derzeit am besten leitende Material unter realistischen Bedingungen ist Silber. Es weist mit 61,35 S/m (Siemens pro Meter) eine rund sechs Prozent bessere Leitfähigkeit als Kupfer auf. Allerdings ist das Edelmetall etwa um den Faktor 100 teurer.

A hi-fi system basically reproduces nothing other than modulated household current. This means that it should reach the device as constantly as possible. This is where the mains cable (power cable) plays a crucial role. The big challenge for mains connection cables is extreme current peaks. They are caused by the connected appliances themselves by converting alternating current into direct current. These extreme current peaks cause a whole range of undesirable effects. The Reference AC-2404 AIR mains connection cable is specially designed for connecting high-quality high-end audio systems and is based on the legendary Air technology. In conjunction with this technology, i.e. the “omission” of insulation material, which would “soak up” part of the energy like a sponge, the Referenz AC-2404 AIR is able to transport very large amounts of energy in a very short time. Many design details of the Reference AC-2404 AIR counteract the undesirable effects and make it what it is: an outstanding energy pipeline for the highest audiophile demands. For all our love of audiophile sound, safety plays a special role in this cable category. For this reason, every Referenz AC-2404 AIR cable is tested extremely carefully. In addition to the intensive functional test, each cable also undergoes an insulation and high-voltage test. The results are recorded and each cable is given its own individual serial number.
