Every element of the Black Viking Carbon HIFI Mains Power Cable is meticulously handcrafted to attain unparalleled perfection. The cable not only exhibits visual splendour but also boasts exceptional durability, supported by a lifetime warranty.
 
The cable and connectors C1011 7N OFC, developed by Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd., feature VHPCE (Virgin High Purity Copper Element) with a purity of 99.99%
 
HB Laboratories has unveiled a groundbreaking carbon connectors design that exceeds expectations and challenges traditional norms and constraints. Crafted with shells CNC-milled from solid aluminium, painstakingly hand-polished, and plated, these connectors exemplify precision. The conductors, milled from Japanese 7N OFC C1011 Copper raw material, exhibit exceptional artistry and attention to detail.
 
The hybrid exclusive design, incorporating a fusion of silver and copper within six cores, effectively mitigates any superfluous or deficient sound effects, culminating in rich bass, balanced mid-tones, and crisp, nuanced highs. This innovative construction diminishes impedance at lower frequencies and mitigates common-mode noise at distinct frequencies, guaranteeing a consistent and pristine power transmission pathway.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) remains a substantial obstacle in mains power distribution systems. To combat this issue, a combination of finely braided oxygen-free copper (OFC) and a thick aluminium shield serves as a robust defence against emitted emissions. An insulation layer between these materials prevents mutual conductivity, a factor that typically diminishes shielding efficacy. However, the outer shield, characterised by a significant surface area and parasitic distributed capacitance, can potentially result in coupling interference or compromised sound quality. Engineers have implemented a strategy where the inner shield is kept floating, while the outer primary shield is connected to the IEC shell (ungrounded). The input plug housing is connected to E pin to return unwanted noise to earth ground. 
 
A non-traditional design methodology sets this cable apart from others. The sound it produces is characterised by density, weight, and depth extension, offering three-dimensional auditory experience.
