LUNA CABLES GRIS Series Neo Vintage Copper Conductor SPDIF Digital Cable

Product Concept

Luna Cables GRIS Digital expands the material philosophy of the GRIS series into S/PDIF digital transmission. While adopting the same LCNV (Luna Cable Neo Vintage) copper conductor as analog cables, it is designed as a 2-core configuration to meet the requirements of digital transmission.

The role of a digital cable is not only to accurately transmit bit information but also to minimize jitter (timing fluctuations). In the GRIS Digital, Luna Cables adheres to the natural material philosophy with a cotton jacket and adopts a design that suppresses external noise and unwanted vibrations through a combination with a tin-plated copper braid shield. Connectors can be chosen from three types when ordering: RCA-RCA, BNC-BNC, or RCA-BNC.

Luna Cables: Handmade cables from Montreal

Luna Cables is a handmade audio cable brand based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. All products are produced in small quantities in the workshop and each one is finished by hand. The meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to materials, not found in mass-produced products, support the musicality of Luna Cables.

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

LCNV is an in-house copper conductor produced using Luna Cable's unique blend and proprietary manufacturing method. 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 modern 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.dielectricThis term refers to the electrical properties of the covering material on a conductor. The lower the dielectric constant of the material, the less unwanted 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 fine noise caused by external vibrations, enhancing the focus of the sound while enabling smooth and rich musical expression without a sense of pressure.

■ All connections are finished by hand soldering, uncompromising craftsmanship

All the cables from Luna Cables have each connection soldered by hand (All connections hand soldered). The precise contact quality achieved, which cannot be obtained through mass production by machines, directly contributes to signal transparency and long-term reliability. This meticulous process without cutting corners is one of the reasons Luna Cables can stand shoulder to shoulder with top audio brands.

■ Cotton Jacket: Unified Natural Materials from Inside to Outside

A flexible and easy-to-handle cotton jacket is used for the outer layer. It has moderate flexibility and sound absorption that synthetic resin tubes lack, suppressing unnecessary tension and vibration transmission during installation. Luna's philosophy of thoroughly unifying materials with natural substances from the inside to the outside is also reflected here.

Main Features

• Two LCNV 24AWG Conductors:Uses the same 24AWG Neo Vintage copper conductors as the GRIS interconnect, in a two-conductor configuration compatible with the 75Ω coaxial structure required by the S/PDIF standard, enabling stable digital signal transmission.
• Tin-Plated Copper Mesh Shield:The tin-plated copper braided shield blocks external noise and high-frequency interference. It prevents waveform distortion of digital signals and enables clean transmission.
• Cotton Jacket:The flexible and easy-to-handle cotton exterior reduces stress during installation and suppresses vibration transmission between devices.
• RCA-RCA / BNC-BNC / RCA-BNC Connectors (Selectable):You can specify at the time of order the combination of both ends from three types: RCA-RCA, BNC-BNC, or RCA-BNC. Even if the terminal standards of the CD transport and DAC differ, RCA-BNC can accommodate. All contact points are hand-soldered by craftsmen.

Digital cables are often overlooked as just needing to "carry the signal," but the intrusion of jitter and noise certainly affects the music reproduced by the DAC. GRIS Digital is a cable made with the same seriousness as analog, applying Luna's material philosophy to the digital domain without any compromise.
