PSC+ CONDUCTOR:
Solid conductors prevent strand interaction,
a major source of cable distortion. Extremely
high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) minimizes distortion caused by grain
boundaries which exist within any metal
conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared
to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers.
TEFLON AIR-TUBES: Air is the
best insulation because it does not absorb and later release energy. The Teflon
Air-Tubes used in Panther have almost nothing but air around the PSC+
conductors.
DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (patent
pending): Greatly improved performance is made possible by a constant
12 volt charge on all Panther’s insulation. As 12 volts is far above the
voltage of an audio signal, the result is
considerably more transparency and dynamics than possible even from a cable in
continuous use, with equipment that is never
turned off. Because DBS battery packs are attached when Panther cables are
assembled, Panther does not require an additional run-in period. Because there
is no "load" on the single standard
hardware-store battery, it will last for years. A test button and LED allow for
occasional verification of battery
performance.
TRIPLE BALANCED: The 3
conductors in "Triple Balanced" Panther cable insure that whether
prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive
and negative signals have equally low distortion conducting paths. The 100%
coverage shield is never used as an inferior audio conductor.
WELDED PLUGS: 8,000 amps is
used to weld FPC Copper RCA plugs to Panther, creating a perfect connection
alloy where the cable and plug meet. A thick direct-silver plating provides the
best possible connection.
