Sound of silver, warmer than any sound, you will see the full representation of music into
sharp breath.
In the audio notes, carefully, we have adopted to reproduce the music evolved more
sophisticated silver. More than 20 years of know-how is a range of silver refining,
manufacturing method, until the structure. In addition to the pursuit of material, by special
technology KSL, and then expressing the excellent music. Cable AN-Vz AN-SPz silver
wire was great reputation around the world from the audio fan is, by KSL technology has
evolved further as KSL-LP KSL-SPz. Space to reproduce the rich aroma of wine is
dense, such as improved fundamentally and direction of the wire with the habit,
mature. Rich bass sound gives a sense of stability to the music, a sense of low midrange

This is the only oxygen free copper speaker cable in the Kondo line, and this is also the
only copper cable using KSL technology developed to remove the sound roughness
which arises generally from the lower grade digital sound in the system like home theatre,
for example.
The heavily decoded signals from home theatre surround sound decoder and receivers
usually comes with very unpleasant edginess and ear scratching sharpness, our KSL-SPc
can greatly improve and transform this into a smooth and musical sound.
Of course, it will be a great cable as well for audio only applications, especially where the
source is primarily digital.
