Transparent OPUS Balanced Interconnect

Transparent OPUS Balanced Interconnect (OBL) reveals the full potential of your ultimate source components and preamplifier with dual, fully differential balanced networks for each channel. Most OPUS owners have spent years searching for and investing in their dream system to get closer to the music. OBL is the coupling solution to help dream systems fulfill their promise of exciting listening experiences, "you are there" every time you press "play" and play your favorite source material.

OPUS Balanced Interconnect is a significant performance upgrade compared to XL Balanced Interconnect. OBL delivers well-defined bass energy to the bottom of the lower octave and provides a quieter interface for low-level audio signals than XL Balanced Interconnect.

OBL network components are also specifically chosen and better matched to the electrical characteristics of the cable and its length, and the network itself is more accurately calibrated to the electrical output characteristics of your source components or preamplifier. This extra level of precision is time-consuming in the meticulous OBL production process, but the results in your system are worth it: from feeling and hearing the full power of the orchestra to every nuance of tonal shading and harmonic resolution within the original performance space.

Vibration and resonance control and isolation also reach new heights with OPUS. OBL has 2 module enclosures per channel to further isolate the dual fully differential balanced networks. The additional isolation reduces noise and more effectively dampens any possibility for resonances to affect performance. The components that make up each network are encapsulated in electrically neutral epoxy and then surrounded by a carbon fiber network enclosure specially shaped to reduce reflections of standing waves. Carbon fiber is non-magnetic, lightweight, and rigid. The thinner, stronger network enclosure provides a larger cavity for damping epoxy loading, and the non-magnetic properties of carbon fiber allow for the free and complete expansion of electromagnetic fields, revealing more accurate micro-dynamics and harmonic musical information in your system.

OBL needs to be calibrated and configured for your specific source components or preamplifier. Contact Transparent or a Transparent dealer to share the details of your system components and setup.

Warranty registration not only extends the Transparent warranty to 5 years but also provides the original owner with free OBL recalibrations in the event that a component change requires network adjustments.

About Transparent Audio

Since 1993, Transparent has been delivering cables and power filters that transmit the lifeblood, rhythm, and emotion of music in many music systems.

Transparent focuses entirely on the development of audio cables and power cables because they connect the components of an audio system and have a significant impact on performance.

At Transparent, live music is the reference, and cables should make an audio system sound as if it is live.

Transparent was the first company to offer an upgrade program that allows "old" cables to be upgraded to the latest technology. The OPUS ultra high-end line even provides for the exact calibration of the cables to the output ports of the source equipment, such as the power amplifier.
