McIntosh CA1M Audio Cable

The directional arrow indicates the intended signal flow from the source component to the receiving component. Following this orientation ensures that the cable's shielding is properly grounded to minimize noise and interference.

Yes, while these cables are engineered to complement McIntosh systems, they are compatible with any audio equipment that utilizes standard unbalanced RCA connections.

The combination of copper foil and a 95% coverage copper braid creates a robust barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This helps maintain a clean, quiet signal path, which is especially important in systems with multiple power cables and components.

Oxygen-free copper is used to minimize impurities within the metal, which helps maintain high electrical conductivity. This ensures that your audio signal is transmitted with minimal loss and high clarity.

With an outside diameter of 8.5 mm and a protective nylon webbing, the cable is sturdy but maintains a reasonable degree of flexibility. However, due to the multi-layer shielding and robust construction, it is best to avoid extremely sharp bends to maintain the integrity of the internal geometry.
