LUNA CABLES ORANGE Series Neo Vintage Copper Conductor XLR Cable

Product Concept

The Luna Cables ORANGE XLR expands the material concept of the ORANGE series into balanced connections. The 22AWG LCNV (Luna Cable Neo Vintage) copper conductor, upgraded from GRIS's 24AWG, combines with the noise-rejection capability of differential transmission, achieving both a sense of silence and musical richness at a high level.

The connectors use Switchcraft XLR connectors with gold plating. The robust mechanism of Switchcraft, with a long track record in broadcast and professional audio use, ensures reliable differential transmission required for balanced connections over the long term. Waxed cottondielectric- Tin-plated copper mesh shield and cotton jacket inherit the natural material composition shared with the GRIS series.

Luna Cables: Handmade cables 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 and are finished by artisans individually. The meticulous craftsmanship and focus on materials support the musicality unique to Luna Cables, something mass-produced products cannot offer.

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

LCNV is an in-house copper conductor produced using Luna Cable's unique formulation and manufacturing method. By intentionally using a vintage wire processing machine instead of a cutting-edge CNC processing machine, we are able to create a conductor with a unique crystal structure and flexibility that cannot be reproduced with modern precision machinery. This approach of bringing the goodness of old things to life in modern hi-fi is the core of the Luna sound.

■ Waxed cottondielectric: Vibration control and musicality provided by natural materials

LCNV also has waxed cottondielectricIt is covered as.dielectricis a term that refers to the electrical properties of the coating material that covers a conductor; the lower the dielectric constant of the material, the less unnecessary interference with the signal waveform. Wax-impregnated cotton has a lower dielectric constant than plastic-based materials, minimizing signal interference while providing high vibration damping. It absorbs minute noises caused by external vibrations, creating a smooth and rich musical expression that does not feel oppressive while increasing the focus of the sound.

■ Uncompromising craftsmanship, with all contacts finished by hand soldering

All connections on all Luna Cables cables are hand soldered. The precise contact quality that cannot be obtained through mass production using machines is directly linked to signal transparency and long-term reliability. This painstaking process is one of the reasons why Luna Cables is on par with top audio brands.

■ Cotton jacket: Made of natural materials from inside to outside

The exterior is made of a cotton jacket that is flexible and easy to handle. It has appropriate flexibility and sound absorption properties not found in synthetic resin tubes, and suppresses unnecessary tension and vibration propagation during installation. Luna's philosophy of using natural materials from inside to outside is evident here.

Main features

• LCNV 22AWG conductor (1 piece/polarity):22AWG Neo Vintage copper conductors, which are thicker than GRIS's 24AWG, are placed on Pin 2 (hot), Pin 3 (cold), and Pin 1 (ground). Low DC resistance further brings out the noise removal ability of differential transmission, improving the density and texture of music.
• Tinned copper mesh shield:Tin-plated copper blade shield blocks external noise. Combined with CMRR (common mode noise rejection) using differential transmission, an excellent sense of silence is achieved.
• Switchcraft XLR connector (gold plated), all contacts hand soldered:Gold-plated Switchcraft XLR connectors, which have a reputation for use in broadcasting and professional audio applications, are used. Robust mechanism and precise mating accuracy ensure long-term reliable differential transmission. All contacts are hand soldered by craftsmen.
