Accuphase ALC-50 5m Balanced XLR Audio Cable

Description

The Accuphase ALC-50 is a meticulously crafted 5-meter balanced audio cable featuring 3-pin Cannon (XLR) connectors, designed for high-end audio systems and professional applications. Following the BTS standard, the cable connects the ground pin directly to the shield, ensuring excellent noise rejection and stable grounding in balanced audio setups.

Built on the foundation of Accuphases renowned Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Series cable technology, the ALC-50 incorporates a densely braided oxygen-free copper outer conductor that reliably shields the two twisted internal conductors made from highly pure copper. This advanced shielding minimizes transfer losses and offers exceptional resistance to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, maintaining signal clarity.

The center conductors consist of a hybrid combination of highly pure oxygen-free copper wires and silver-plated soft copper wires, designed to deliver superb transfer characteristics with low resistance. These conductors are carefully constructed using wires of varying diameters and a silver-plated layer to optimize conductivity and signal purity.

Surrounding the conductors is a sophisticated triple-layer insulation system, consisting of high dielectric resistance polyethylene, foamed polyethylene, and a stabilizing interstitial core. This dual-core layout minimizes DC resistance and transfer losses, ensuring high-definition, distortion-free audio transmission even over longer distances.

The cables shielding employs 192 ultra-fine (0.1 mm) high-purity copper wires tightly braided at high density, combined with an aluminum foil tape layer. This dual shielding method provides low capacitance and outstanding protection against external noise, preserving the natural, well-balanced sound that Accuphase cables are known for.

With the Accuphase ALC-50, listeners enjoy pristine, accurate audio reproduction that faithfully captures the full musical spectrum, making it the ideal choice for demanding audiophiles and professional audio environments.

The Accuphase ALC-50 is a 5-meter balanced XLR audio cable from Accuphase’s OFC Series, designed for high-fidelity analog signal transmission in audiophile and professional audio systems. This model is a special-order product, as lengths beyond 3.0 meters are not part of the standard lineup.
