LUNA CABLES ORANGE Series Neo Vintage Copper Conductor SPDIF Digital Cable

Product Concept

Luna Cables ORANGE Digital is a coaxial digital cable that elevates the digital transmission concept established in the GRIS series to a larger conductor gauge. It uses two thickened 22AWG tin-plated LCNV (Luna Cable Neo Vintage) copper conductors, up from the 24AWG of GRIS, aiming to achieve both the waveform accuracy required for S/PDIF transmission and the musical density characteristic of the ORANGE series.

In digital cables, improving the conductor diameter contributes to a decrease in the DC resistance of the signal path and an improvement in electromagnetic stability. Luna Cables also uses waxed cotton in ORANGE Digital.dielectricWe adhered to the philosophy of natural materials with a cotton jacket and adopted a design that suppresses external noise and unwanted vibrations through a combination with a tin-plated copper blade shield. The connector can be selected from three types—RCA-RCA, BNC-BNC, or RCA-BNC—when placing your order.

Luna Cables: Cables Born from the Hands of Artisans in Montreal

Luna Cables is a handmade audio cable brand based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. All products are produced in small quantities in a workshop, with each cable finished by the hands of skilled craftsmen. The meticulous attention to detail and commitment to materials, which cannot be found in mass-produced items, support the musicality of Luna Cables.

■ LCNV Conductor (Luna Cable Neo Vintage): A unique conductor created by vintage processing machines

LCNV is an in-house copper conductor produced using Luna Cable's unique blend and proprietary manufacturing methods. Instead of using state-of-the-art CNC machines, we intentionally employ vintage wire processing machines, resulting in a conductor with a unique crystalline structure and flexibility that modern precision machinery cannot reproduce. This approach of leveraging the 'goodness of old things' in contemporary high-fidelity audio is at the core of the Luna sound.

■ Waxed Cottondielectric: Vibration damping and musicality provided by natural materials

LCNV also incorporates waxed cottondielectricIt is coated as such.dielectricThis refers to the electrical properties of the covering material that surrounds the conductor, and the lower the dielectric constant of the material, the less unnecessary interference there is with the signal waveform. Cotton impregnated with wax has a lower dielectric constant compared to plastic-based materials, minimizing interference with the signal while also providing high vibration damping. It absorbs delicate noise caused by external vibrations, achieving smooth and rich musical expression without a sense of compression, while enhancing the focus of the sound.

■ All contact points are hand-soldered, uncompromising craftsmanship

All Luna Cables are hand-soldered at each connection point (All connections hand soldered). The meticulous contact quality, which cannot be achieved through machine mass production, directly contributes to signal transparency and long-term reliability. This labor-intensive process is one of the reasons why Luna Cables stands shoulder to shoulder with top audio brands.

■ Cotton Jacket: Consistency of natural materials from the inside out

The exterior uses a flexible and manageable cotton jacket. It has a moderate flexibility and sound-absorbing property that synthetic resin tubes do not, suppressing unnecessary tension and vibration propagation during installation. Luna's philosophy of consistently using natural materials from the inside to the outside is reflected here as well.

Main Features

• Tin-plated LCNV 22AWG (7 × 30AWG) conductors × 2:Using two 22AWG LCNV copper conductors, which are thicker than the 24AWG used in GRIS. The structure consists of seven strands of 30AWG thin tinned copper wire twisted together, making it more flexible and easier to handle compared to a single wire. Additionally, the twisted wire structure is advantageous for countering the skin effect (the phenomenon where high-frequency signals concentrate on the surface of the conductor), contributing to stable digital signal transmission. Along with reduced DC resistance, it brings the unique musical density of the ORANGE series to the digital pathway.
• Waxed Cottondielectricfor Jitter Suppression:The low-dielectric waxed cotton covers the conductor, minimizing electrical interference with the signal waveform. It maintains the timing accuracy essential for S/PDIF transmission.
• Tinned Copper Braid Shield:Effectively blocks external electromagnetic and high-frequency noise, protecting delicate digital signal paths.
• RCA-RCA / BNC-BNC / RCA-BNC Connectors (Selectable):You can specify the combination at the time of order from three options: RCA-RCA, BNC-BNC, or RCA-BNC. RCA-BNC can be used when the terminal standards of the CD transport and DAC differ. All contact points are hand-soldered by craftsmen.
