SYNERGISTIC RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Foundation range cables are handmade at Synergistic Research’s California factory.

They incorporate Air String Geometrie technology based on 99.9999% pure silver.

Another Synergistic Research proprietary technology: UEF Matrix shielding. This shielding drastically reduces background noise.

UEF treatment has been developed for Blue fuses fuses and the Atmosphere range of cables. UEF technology is a mesh placed on the cable shielding, drastically reducing background noise for the benefit of musicality and detail.

With this in mind, 6 months of blind testing were required to identify the most effective mesh pattern, using a large panel of listeners.

By cross-referencing the data from these blind tests, Synergistic Research has succeeded in isolating a mesh pattern that crystallizes passions, restoring the very essence of the music.

Numerous improvements have followed on from this, resulting today in the world’s most effective shielding for outstanding musical reproduction.

The combination of all our patents, technologies and processes means we can offer a strikingly realistic cable, with no audible fatigue.

SR has also applied the High Voltage Process, originally developed for the Galileo SX range, recognized as one of the world’s finest cables.

In short, Synergistic Research has created one of the best headphone cables on the market, and we’re sure you’ll prefer it to any other cable in any price range.

Standard amp-side terminations: 4 Pin XLR or 3.5mm jack (+ 6.35mm screw adapter)
