DESCRIPTION

Nextgen - The next generation of WBT connectors

It was the turn for the well-proven Sandwich WBT Spades to undergo their very special 'nextgen' upgrade. The signal conductors (of the Cu versions) have always been made of pure copper and their construction was already based on the principle of minimum mass. What is new is that the basic fork body now represents an almost metal-free construction to become a 100% nextgen connector. You are sure to enjoy a much more detailed and spacious sound performance from your Hi-Fi set!

The key to the superb quality of this fork lies in the patented Sandwich* design of its contact fork: elastomer vibration dampers eliminate airborne noise and mechanical vibrations, as well as magnetostriction. This ensures almost total suppression of contact microphonics and the absence of disturbing secondary noise. At the same time, the fracture resistance of the connection is improved. The sandwich design of the contact forks (sandwich spades) with elastomer embedded in a steel shell generates high and uniform contact pressure, minimising transition resistance. Four perforated contact points at the bottom of the fork ensure precision contact. The quality of signal transmission is significantly improved, particularly with high currents or low voltages. The surface of the copper conductor is protected against oxidation by a nickel-free 24-carat gold plating to sustain low transition resistance levels over the long term.

The fork is connected to the cable by crimping. The two fine-threaded Torx screws ensure a reliable connection with high tensile strength.

The plug elements are fully insulated and meet CE and IEC safety requirements.
