The NCF Clear Line-XLR’s construction incorporates premium materials, including rhodium-plated, pure copper conductors, and an outer body formed with NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. Advanced damping features such as audio-grade ceramic capacitors, pressure-sealed internal air chambers, and a two-stage ‘Alpha’ cryogenic and demagnetization process for metal parts contribute to its superior performance. With Furutech’s commitment to simplicity and excellence, the NCF Clear Line-XLR Line Optimizer emerges as a transformative addition to audio setups, promising an immersive and refined audio experience that captures the essence of the original recording.

Features

NCF Technology: At the heart of the NCF Clear Line-XLR is Furutech’s proprietary Nano Crystal² Formula (NCF) – a unique crystalline material that generates negative ions to eliminate static and converts thermal energy into far infrared. Combined with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder, NCF serves as the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material, exclusively featured in Furutech products.

Immediate Improvement: With a simple plug-and-play design, the NCF Clear Line-XLR instantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in increased detail, clarity, and enhanced reproduction of subtle nuances. Experience a more vivid and deep soundstage, tighter bass notes, and sweeter, cleaner midrange and treble.

Dual Mono Configuration: While a single unit provides noticeable enhancements, using two optimizers – for instance, one per channel in dual mono setups – delivers even greater improvements, allowing for a customized and advanced audio experience.
Construction Excellence: The NCF Clear Line-XLR features rhodium-plated, pure copper conductors with one-piece construction, injected with heat-resistant NCF liquid crystal polymer resin. The outer body is meticulously crafted with NCF liquid crystal polymer resin, incorporating a blend of nylon, fiberglass, nano-sized crystalline piezo ceramic particles, and carbon powder within a multi-layered NCF, non-magnetic stainless steel, and carbon fiber shell.

Advanced Damping: The device includes audio-grade ceramic capacitors treated to suppress resonance and eliminate noise induced at the equipment’s input or output terminals. The pressure-sealed internal air chamber and specially designed end cover with molded channels further enhance resonance damping.

Premium Materials: All metal parts undergo Furutech’s two-stage ‘Alpha’ cryogenic and demagnetization process, ensuring stress-free, stable, and highly conductive metal for superior audio and video performance.

Burn-In Time: To achieve optimal performance, Furutech recommends a suggested burn-in time of 24 hours.
