Hero RCA/XLR Interconnect Cable

Playing Pink Floyd’s Louder Than Words, “there is a smoothness to the sound, which does not dilute in any way the edginess of the singing while the slightly raspy vocals of the singers are spot on” — Hi-Fi Choice

Made up of four 19AWG conductors insulated with virgin FEP dielectric. The HERO’s four wire quadratic braid provides wide bandwidth and noise reduction without the use of shielding. The four-wire braided geometry also produces ideal results when used in a balanced system with XLR connections for additional immunity to noise and signal degradation. A balance between low capacitance and low to moderate series induction make HERO an ideal solution for low-level signals i.e interconnects.

Kimber’s Hero-Cu interconnects use four conductors made from very high purity, VariStrand™ copper. The four-wire braid results in an improved soundstage. Music is more open, the midrange more natural, bass is deeper and cleaner, and the treble sweeter.

Hero-Cu is a great value interconnect at home in modest or high-end systems. Used between your CD player and amplifier, or between a preamp and power amp, Hero Cu is available with custom UltraPlate™ RCA type connectors or for an improved connection you can opt for the superb WBT-0102 copper locking RCA plugs. The balanced version of Hero-Cu features “studio grade” XLR connectors with silver plated contacts.
