Van den Hul The Arctic

摘要

Prolific cable producer van den Hul has built a reputation for its 'hybrid' interconnect and speaker wires that comprise a novel mix of both carbon and metal conductors. By contrast Arctic, which is described as 'more affordable' is also more conventional in design with its figure-of-eight geometry and 147×0.16mm multistranded conductors. These are 'large crystal OFC strands, silver plated and insulated with vdH's halogen-free Hulliflex dielectric. The paired conductors are moulded with both square and circular profiles to assist in maintaining polarity although, if you buy Arctic pre-terminated with vdH's neat screw-on 4mm plugs, the red and blue heatshrink tubing provides a handier guide.
