Oyaide Across 900 V2
Balanced XLR modulation cable from Oyaide, the balanced version of the Across 750, in PCCC-A copper with rhodium connectors.
Description
The Across 900 V2 is a balanced XLR modulation cable from Oyaide, a Japanese brand recognised in the hi-fi world for the build quality of its audiophile cables. It is the balanced version of the Across 750, a cable awarded a Diapason d'or by the Revue Diapason.
This cable is made from PCCC-A copper developed by Furukawa, a conductive material chosen for its signal transmission qualities. The XLR connectors are made of rhodium, a metal valued for the quality and durability of the electrical contact it provides over time.
The design of this cable aims for neutral signal transmission, without added colouration, so as to let the inherent characteristics of the other components in the audio chain it is connected to come through.
This type of balanced XLR connection is intended for hi-fi systems equipped with balanced connectivity, preamplifiers, amplifiers or sources with XLR inputs and outputs, for enthusiasts seeking a neutral and carefully designed link between the components of their system.
What to check before buying used
The quality of the contact depends directly on the condition of the XLR pins: check for the absence of oxidation, play or signs of impact at the connectors and their locking mechanism. Also examine the sheath and shielding along the entire length, particularly near the ends, to detect any pronounced kink, nick or early sign of rupture that could cause background noise or dropouts. A listening test on both channels, gently flexing the cable, helps identify an intermittent faulty contact that is not visible to the eye.
