In this Inakustik Reference LS-2404 AIR Speaker Cable review, we're diving deep into what might just be one of the most revolutionary speaker cables in the high-end audio market. As an audiophile reviewer at The Audio Tailor, I've had the privilege of experiencing numerous premium cables, but this one stands out for its exceptional engineering and performance capabilities.
The Technical Marvel Behind the Music
The LS-2404 AIR isn't just another speaker cable; it's a masterpiece of engineering that builds upon the legendary legacy of its predecessors, the LS-2404 and NF-2404. What sets it apart is its innovative Air-Helix structure, which fundamentally transforms how the signal travels through the cable.
Key Features and Performance
Air-Helix Structure
The revolutionary air-helix design minimises vibrations and provides superior shielding against electromagnetic interference. This results in a pristine signal path that allows your music to breathe naturally.
Advanced Air Dielectric
By using air as the primary dielectric, Inakustik has achieved remarkably low capacitance values. This translates to minimal signal loss and exceptional transparency in sound reproduction.
Connector Technology
The directly crimped connectors, pressed at 1.5 T pressure and crafted from premium Tellurium-copper, ensure optimal signal transfer. Available in both BFA Banana and Spade terminations, these connections provide rock-solid reliability.
Sonic Performance
The LS-2404 AIR delivers a listening experience that's nothing short of extraordinary. The soundstage is expansive and three-dimensional, while the tonal balance remains natural and uncoloured. Bass response is tight and controlled, midrange is transparent, and high frequencies sparkle with clarity without ever becoming harsh.
