ISM™ Onboard The 2™
Experience your recordings exactly as they were captured. The ISM™ Onboard The 2™ is designed for audiophiles who demand absolute neutrality and a window into the most subtle nuances of a performance. By integrating TARA Labs' proprietary grounding technology directly into the cable architecture, they’ve eliminated the noise floor to reveal a soundstage of breathtaking clarity.
The Sound of Silence
The hallmark of the ISM Onboard series is its ability to disappear. By utilizing the Isolated Shield Matrix® and Floating Ground Station® technologies within the integrated ISM Onboard Capsule™, this cable effectively isolates electromagnetic interference.
The result? A greater sense of focus and a vivid reconstruction of the recorded environment. You won’t just hear the music; you’ll feel the air of the room and the precise placement of every instrument.
- SA-OF8N® Copper Conductors: Utilizing 99.999999% pure copper—the “8-Nines” standard—these frequency-tuned, mono-crystal conductors ensure lossless signal transfer.
- Onboard Grounding: The built-in ISM Onboard Capsule™ manages RF and EMI noise without the need for external grounding boxes.
- Advanced Dielectrics: A combination of PTFE and Aero-PE® ensures minimal signal absorption and maximum phase stability.
- Natural Fiber Core: Provides mechanical damping to eliminate micro-vibrations that can smear high-frequency detail.
- Hand-Polished Excellence: Every conductor is hand-polished to remove surface imperfections before assembly.
