Introducing Ground Zero Reference Interconnect
Meanwhile, the Ground Zero “Reference Line” became not only famous around the world, with its components of different amplifiers and speakers, the line represent the outmost experience for Sound Quality enthusiasts. When earlier in 2012, the Reference Speaker cable was launched, the only missing part until today was the signal connection for the amplifier means the interconnect signal cable. By May 2014, Ground Zero is now bringing this cable to the market, simply called “Ground Zero Reference Interconnect”.
The cable will be available in three different lengths, all of them packed in an attractive black matt carton box which lets its new owner know that this cable will be something very special. Even the length scheme is outstanding (1.57 m / 61.81″ , 3.14 m / 123.62″ and 5.49 m / 216.14″), as it is optimised using “π” as its calculation factor.
In order to guarantee a perfect and long durable connection, the high tech RCA-Plugs are plated with Rhodium. In addition, the connector shell is made of real carbon fibres, which allow an excellent visual appearance and electrical shielding.
But not enough! The cable itself consists of 100% pure OCC copper, which is married to the connector with high quality silver soldering. The multi layer shielding makes furthermore sure, that all Reference Interconnects are perfectly protected against any kind of disturbances or interferences from outside.
Definition of Rhodium
As a member of the exclusive platinum group, Rhodium is one of the most costly and rare materials used for making highest quality plug´s plating. It´s extremely hard and doesn´t corrode even under toughest conditions as in car audio use. Beside the reliability, Rhodium plated connectors provide fast, powerful controlled bass, an open and transparent mid- to upper- frequencies performance, which gives you a smooth, nuanced wideband tonal balance.
Definition of OCC
In 1986 the continuous casting (OCC) process was introduced to the world. Professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan developed high pure crystalline copper casting. OCC is a single, long grain copper crystalline structure built by using a heated mould and relevant moulding speed, that solved the annealing process problems and created a better uniform crystalline structure.
