    An Optimal Analog Interconnect with Noise-Dissipating Carbon Polymer

    Kimber Kable Carbon with XLR termination is a premium analog audio interconnect featuring eight 19.5 AWG conductors. Carbon is an optimal analog interconnect for source components, preamplifiers, and amplifiers.

    Carbon's electrostatically dissipative carbon polymer reduces mechanically induced electrical noise and improves the uniformity of the voltage gradient within the insulating dielectric. As a result, carbon provides a natural sound profile without being excessively bright or overly dark. In other words, Carbon sounds exactly right.

    As used in Kimber Kable's Axios series, Carbon boasts a seamless braided transition to right and left XLR connectors. This eliminates the need for soldered joints and facilitates signal transmission.

    High-Quality XLR Connectors

    This version of Kimber Kable Carbon interconnects features high-quality Kimber XLR connectors. Use it when you prefer a balanced connection with compatible audio gear.

    The Kimber Kable Carbon Series

    The introduction of the Kimber Kable Carbon interconnect coincides with Kimber Kable's fortieth anniversary and promises to be the first of several Carbon Series products.

    The Carbon series takes its name from the electrostatically dissipative carbon polymer used between the Teflon dielectric and VariStrand 19.5 AWG conductors. Retained is the classic Kimber Kable braiding.

    According to Ray Kimber (as quoted in Stereophile and StereoNET), the new Carbon cable series "won't be inexpensive, but will outperform the current products in the line that are at the same price. We've improved the quality of the strands. Solid core works better theoretically but stranded is more practical, so we are pressuring a conductive polymer over the top of the strands before we insulate. So, it behaves like a solid core. It's quieter, and handling noise goes down. It's kind of a big jump for us."
