HBC-MS-5000RR (RCA ⇔ RCA)
HBC-MS-5000 Series
This phono cable features a low resistance design, created to maximize the appeal of analog playback.
The HBC-MS-5000 series features a hybrid structure combining high-purity 6N copper and OFC (high-purity oxygen-free copper),
pursuing transparency in signal transmission, balance in sound quality, and reliability in long-term use.
Major features
1. Hybrid Conductor Design
High purity 6N copper and OFC are combined in a unique ratio
Transmits all the charm of music, from subtle nuances to dynamic expression.
After thorough prototyping and repeated listening tests, an optimized two-core shielded structure has been adopted.
2. Fine-tune the configuration
The conductor cross-sectional area is 0.57 sq, minimizing resistance while achieving clear high frequencies and rich mid-to-low frequencies.
We pursue exquisite sound quality by paying attention to every detail, from wire diameter and composition ratio to shielding structure.
3. Advanced sheath design
Uses polyethylene insulation, low-density polyethylene mid-sheath, UEW high-density braided shield, and PVC outer sheath.
Achieves high durability while reducing capacitance.
4. Highly reliable connectors
The plug is rhodium-plated to improve durability and conductivity.
The floating contacts are made by combining precision cutting, Teflon resin, and a hexagonal ring structure.
Achieves excellent insulation properties and high connection reliability.

*1. The shielded wire of the HBC-MS-5000RR (RCA-RCA) is connected to only one GND on one side.
The shield is connected to the GND on the "H" side (the side where the letters start) of the engraved "HBC-MS-5000" letters.
The optimal orientation may vary depending on the device, so try adjusting the connection orientation.
*2. The internal earth wire of the XLR terminal is floating.
An earth cable is included, so please connect the earth wire when using a step-up transformer or phono equalizer.
This ensures a stable connection and sound quality.(2: HOT (+) 3: COLD (-) 1: GND)
