NOBUNAGA LABS / NLASHK

NOBUNAGA Labs Shokaku is a tin-plated OFC cable that uses proprietary technology to achieve dynamic, dense mid-low range and excellent separation capabilities.

■OFC tin-plated wire for a dense, rich sound ・Using 133 ultra-fine, high-purity oxygen-free copper strands of 0.06 mm per core reduces conductor resistance and improves electrical conductivity. Realizes a natural, dynamic mid-low range. In addition, tin plating gives the sound a rich sound and thickness, achieving a vivid, extended high range and a dense sound with a heavy, excellent response. By making the conductor perfectly round, the flexibility and durability of the conductor itself are dramatically improved. It plays a role in stable signal transmission even when exposed to bending or sudden temperature changes. ■Uses proprietary Symmetric Braid Matrix technology ・The symmetric braid matrix, which makes the twist direction of the positive and negative sides of the conductor symmetrical and smooths the flow of electrical signals to the utmost, suppresses the increase in electrical resistance between conductors and enables the transmission of a wide range of sound from low to high frequencies. ■Braided structure that minimizes degradation of audio signals ・A 4-core braided structure with a separated ground section is adopted to improve left and right separation and suppress crosstalk. Even with an unbalanced connection, it enables clear positioning and spatial expression, and low-frequency reproduction with reduced distortion. ■Eliminates transmission loss to the maximum extent ・In order to equalize the braiding pitch of the cable without the soldering process (joint processing) at the branching part that causes electrical resistance, each cable is braided by hand to achieve an ideal design that does not change the transmission characteristics. The cable's original characteristics are fully demonstrated. ■High-quality plug made in Japan ・The plug part is made of high-quality Japanese-made 24K gold-plated material, providing a stable connection environment and efficient conductivity. In addition, after flash plating, a special treatment is applied to prevent problems such as plating peeling and oxidation erosion for a long period of time. The shell part adopts NOBUNAGA Labs' original matte black design, which emphasizes a simple yet luxurious feel. ■Carefully selected MMCX connector ・The connector part is 24K gold-plated to reduce contact resistance and provide high electrical conductivity. In addition, the inside of the shell is molded to minimize problems when attaching and detaching. The shell part adopts NOBUNAGA Labs' original slit design. Black and red lines are printed in the grooves so that they will not fade even after long-term use. (Black on the left side, red on the right side) ■WBT lead-free silver solder - Uses WBT lead-free silver solder for high resolution. It has a high response and is crisp, accurately depicts the contours of the sound, and realistically expresses even the most subtle sounds. ■Solid-looking branching parts - The Y branching part and cable slider are anodized with black aluminum, emphasizing a simple yet luxurious feel. A cable slider is used to ensure secure attachment even when used on the move. ■Long-term proprietary cryo-treatment - A proprietary cryo-treatment at -156°C/72 hours is performed to remove distortion in the molecular arrangement, suppressing electrical resistance and reducing noise and distortion, enabling clear, three-dimensional spatial expression and information-rich sound with an excellent S/N ratio. ■Cable: OFC 4-core, tin-plated ■Cable length: 120cm ■Ear hook: No wire ■Cable slider: With slider ■Plug: 3.5mm 3-pole straight plug ■Earphone side plug: MMCX connector (NLP-MMCX-DIY) ■Impedance: 0.09Ω or less ■Cryo treatment: -156℃/72 hours ■Solder: WBT lead-free silver solder ■Warranty: 3 months ・Campfire Audio: ANDROMEDA 2020, SOLARIS 2020, DORADO 2020, VEGA 2020, IO ・final: A8000, B1, B2, B3 ・SHURE: SE846, AONIC 5, AONIC 4, AONIC 3 *A list of other products that have been confirmed to work is updated regularly on the WiseTech website.
