Low Transient Phase Distortion through Innovative Design.
APOLLO gives a very clear diction of a singer’s voice and separates musical instruments
superbly through a dramatic reduction of ‘Transient Phase Distortion’.
‘Transient Phase Distortion’ is reduced by using thicker insulation than is usual in
interconnect cables, increasing the distance between conductors. This reduces the
magnetic field seen in each conductor wire as a result of the magnetic field created by the
current in the other conductor wire. The benefit in listening is a clearer and more open
sound quality.
Anti RFI / EMI Technology to Further Reduce Distortion.
APOLLO is covered in a tightly braided screen to protect the inner cores from picking up
radio frequency interference (RFI). Further screening is provided by the conductive ‘low
microphony’ layers and by twisting the cores. The screen is connected at only end only to
prevent ‘loop aerials’ between equipment picking up noise. An untwisted cable has a large
surface area that can more easily pick up RFI/EMI signals generated from Radio, Wifi,
Mobile Phones and even central heating systems.
Complementary filtering techniques are additionally applied to ensure that any
interference that does penetrate the cable’s very effective defences is effectively
neutralised preventing audible distortion interfering with the music.
All these treatments are designed to reduce the amount of audible distortion in the cable,
allowing cleaner, clearer sounds to be enjoyed from your equipment.
Advanced Manufacturing Techniques to Reduce Noise and Distortion.
APOLLO uses silver plated copper cores for signal flows. These are connected in opposite
directions. Our listening tests have shown when connected this way the noise floor
between the musical notes lowers. This gives ‘blacker’ silences in the interval between
musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in
music.
Vibration Stabiliser to Reduce Distortion
APOLLO is fitted with a Graham Nalty legacy Range VS-1 Vibration Stabiliser on each
cable. The vibration stabiliser has been specially designed to reduce audible cable
distortion in cables by limiting the effects of vibrations travelling through the conductor
wires which can cause audible distortion to your music. The benefits of a tighter sound of
the VS-1 are enjoyed in all types of music, but in particular plucked strings such as double
basses and harps are reproduced in a much sharper presentation.
PTFE Insulation for Low Dielectric Absorption and Clearer Sound
APOLLO power cables use high quality PTFE insulation for both internal wiring and the
outer jacket for low dielectric absorption loss. PTFE is very effective as when a voltage is
applied to a cable the insulation receives a small electrical charge. As the voltage reduces,
the charge is released back into the conductor and in musical terms this can cause time
smearing of the sound which partially distorts leading edges and decays in music. The low
dielectric absorption in PTFE reduces this effect for the benefit of better sound quality.
