The EVO3 Ascension consists of silver-plated OCC copper conductors (Ohno continuous cast) cryogenically treated at extremely low temperatures, surrounded by an air dielectric with partial FEP contact, before an additional sleeve of extruded FEP encloses the construction. Each of these individual conductor bundles is wrapped in Mylar foil and an additional OFC shield, and then lightly twisted with air-filled FEP tubes. The EVO3 Ascension thus reduces the noise floor to an absolute minimum and provides the musical performance with a holographic image, more air and space, as well as incomparable fine dynamics.
FEATURES
CONSTRUCTION: The conductors run parallel and are lightly twisted. This established technique has proven effective in shielding against high-frequency and electromagnetic interference.
A) Conductors: 4.0 m² silver-plated Ohno continuous cast copper conductors offer a far higher degree of purity compared to conventional OFC. Each conductor is cryogenically treated down to -196 °C. The geometry and metallurgy used in this cable offer excellent performance with highly impressive electrical conductivity.
B) Dielectric: To maintain a dielectric constant close to that of a vacuum, IsoTek has created a virtual air dielectric with a dielectric constant of only 1.0548. This air barrier is achieved through minimal conductor contact and the use of an FEP bridge (Teflon). FEP is an excellent dielectric in its own right, with a low coefficient and is the first choice for safety in terms of both temperature and electrical insulation.
C) Insert: Clear FEP air tubes (Teflon) surround each conductor and ensure a low dielectric constant and the stability of the cable construction.
D) Wrapping: Each conductor assembly is wrapped in Mylar to provide individual conductor shielding as well as an additional barrier against radio interference.
E) Shielding: A grounded OFC shield ensures maximum RFI suppression and thus prevents common-mode interference that affects the current-carrying and neutral conductors.
F) Jacket: PVC is used as the outer jacket to ensure a high degree of flexibility and mechanical strength.
PLUGS: The Ascension cable is assembled with IsoTek's ultra-high-quality audiophile plugs made of silver-plated 99.98% copper.
