Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Harmonic Technology´s LAM Cyber Series Interconnects finns idag tillgängliga för tre typer av installationer: # Cyber P2A för signalkällor eller försteg till slutsteg. # Cyber Wave för signalkällor till försteg. # Cyber Light för digitalt interface. Vi börjar med digitalkabeln... "Då vi kan kontrollera överföringskaraktäristiken med våra Light Analog Modules försäkrar vi att Cyber Light digitalkablar exakt håller impedanserna 75 eller 110 ohm. Genom att bryta jordförbindelsen undviker man dessutom en massa problem jämfört med ordinarie elektrisk uppkoppling." Fritt översatt från ett uttalande av Jim Wang på Harmonic Technology. Cyber Light digital cable. Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Den "förlängda" RCA-kontakten består av en Light Analog Module som direkt och omedelbart omvandlar de elektriska impulserna till ljus och därmed undviker onödig digitalomvandling. Ljussignalen färdas därefter i en "audio-grade" fiberoptikkabel vilket medger längder på upp till 200 m utan signalpåverkan. Vid ändhållplatsen hittar man givetvis ytterligare en LAM som återställer signalen i ursprungligt skick. Allt enligt Harmonic Technology. Quote
Neodynium Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Intressant.. =) bra bilder också!! Bådar bra det här ju. /Patrick Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Går vi så över till "slutstegskabeln" Cyber P2A, hittar vi samma anordning och här omvandlas den analoga signalen omedelbart till ljusimpulser. "Harmonics unika LAM-omvandlare och fiberoptikkablar ger en signal som färdas med ljusets hastighet. Resultatet blir ett fritt och oansträngt ljud med naturliga harmonier och inspelningens tonala balans i behållning." Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 De vidhängande kabelsnuttarna med kontakter är till för strömförsörjningen av LAM-konvertrarna. En mindre nätadapter alternativt ett specialframtaget batteripack används för ändamålet. Quote
plundin™ Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Fråga? Behöver dom drivspänning för att funka eller är processen passiv? Man undrar ju vad svansen efter varje kontakt har för funktion..? /ptr Quote
Matrixen Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Ett oväntat, men innovativt grepp från HT! Någon balanserad variant tillgänglig? Quote
Matrixen Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 110 ohm stod det visst, men det kanske bara var digitalvarianten? Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 "LAM signalkablar är fullständigt fria från distorsionsframkallande påverkan av radiovågor (RFI) och elektromagnetiska fält (EMI) eller övriga störningar framkallade av mobiltelefoner, hushålls- och kontorsutrustning samt komponenter i det egna ljudsystemet." Känner på mig att Ben Piazza på Shakti Innovations observerar detta på avstånd. Inga Shaktibefrämjande kablar direkt... Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Dom behöver spänning... Den lilla kontaktsvansen skall kopplas till 12V batteri eller nätadapter. "And our miniaturized LAMs are actually located right in the RCA connectors." Detta tyder på att de bara finns i RCA-utförande och det finns heller ingen information om XLR-kontakter, men helt säker kan man inte vara. Quote
Neodynium Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Jim Aud har haft ljuskablar (som du också kopplar in ström) länge... De har kanske tittat på hans kablar? Har du hunnit testa dem Timbre? Quote
Timbre™ Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 Nä, det finns inget test planerat utan jag kikar närmare under helgen. Quote
plundin™ Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Funkade inte Purist Audiokablarna så att det bara låg med en ljuslinga, medan ledaren fortfarande var av metall (Koppar/silver?) -- såhär skiver PAD/Jim Aud om sina RLS kablar på deras hemsida : ""The Radiant Light Cable System, newly introduced by Purist Audio Design in 1998, is the only system of its kind in the world. It takes the already superb Dominus cable and adds a special form of radiant-optical fiber. These optical fibers are illuminated by a specially designed light source and radiate light around the conductors. The light changes the properties of the insulation surrounding the conductors, thus minimizing distortion in music reception. The result can best be described as a dramatic lowering of the cable’s noise floor. Micro dynamics that previously lay buried in low-level background noise are revealed. The nuance of musical emotion is laid bare as never before. The stunning improvement achieved through the Radiant Light system affords the reality of a musical experience unlike any enjoyed until now."" dessa nya HT kablar måste ju ha en mer avanserad konstruktion med en ljuspulsgivare i ena änden av kabeln och en mottagare i andra.. För oss som rumstrerat runt i en CD eller DAT med optiska ut och ingångar vet ju att själva dom delar som genererar och tar imot ljuspulseninte är särskillt stora -- det som förbryllar mej är att det inte behövs en mer omfattande elektronik att övervaka hur pulsen ser ut -- men efterssom dom kallar den "analog" så måste dom ha nått analogt sätt att konvertera den elektrsika pulsen till ljus... Spännande, förbryllande, nästan så man får vända sig om och kolla att det inte är första april.... -- det är mycket med det där elektrska man måste få förklarat för sig.. /ptr Quote

plundin™ Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Toppnyhet idag Stereophile site.. Info från Harmonic Techs press release om Cyberkablarna.. Jim Wang and Harmonic Technology are excited to bring you a series of truly ground-breaking analog cable products for audio and home theater featuring CyberLight Analog Interconnect with exclusive, patent-pending LAM (Light Analog Module) Photon Transducer technology that brings you Sound At The Speed Of Light! This innovative cable family is based on miniaturized LAM Photon Transducer electronics in the cable’s RCA or XLR connector that convert analog signals to light and sends it down an audio-grade fiber optic cable where it’s converted back to analog. Electrons to photons and back again! The LAM Photon Transducer, so small it fits right into the cable’s connector, is powered by either a “wall-wart” AC remote power supply (“power adapter”), or an optional Cyber Power Pack UPS-type Battery/Charger that delivers a smooth, stable 12V DC to the LAMs for absolute best performance. Take My TosLink. Please. To understand how Harmonic Technology CyberLight cables work, it’s helpful to consider another popular lighttransmission cable, TosLink. Getting signal through it starts with an A-to-D conversion, followed by a conversion to light using simple low-power LEDs to transmit the signal through a fiber optic cable of dubious quality. Once captured at the receiving end, the signal endures yet another light-to-digital conversion, then a digital-to-analog conversion. After all that, you get what’s left. Harmonic Technology’s LAM CyberLight interconnects take the line-level analog signal and converts it immediately to a strong light signal with laser diode Harmonic Light Analog Modules Photon Transducer—avoiding unnecessary digitization—and transmits it through an audio-grade fiber optic link, where a Light Analog Module receives and converts the signal to analog again. “Very clean, very low noise floor, and no loss of quality from too many digital conversions,” explains Jim Wang, president of Harmonic Technology. “And our miniaturized, patentpending LAMs---the Light Analog Modules---are so small they fit right in the cable’s connectors!” Batteries Make the Heart Grow Fonder The LAM-equipped Harmonic CyberLight cables take their power from a “tailback” connector emerging from one end of each cable’s connector. The tailbacks from each cable are gathered into a two-into-one power splitter that can be daisy-chained back to the power source, either the wall-wart (remote power adaptor) or Cyber Power Pack Battery/Charger unit. The battery is a computer-grade UPS-type, and holds its music power charge for a good 40 hours before a fill up is required. Absolute best performance is achieved on the Cyber Power Pack’s battery with the charger disconnected, although you can listen to music while it’s charging too. Wave or P2A… Will the Sun Rise Tomorrow If You Switch? Impendence matching is critically important for best performance and sound quality. The beauty of the variable LAM (Light Analog Module) Photon Transducer Converters is they can be individually trimmed with great precision. Some source components have a greater-than-standard 2 volt output, so the CyberLight Wave (source-to-preamp) Photon Transducer is tuned to accept a high-level input without saturating. As a result of this wideband push-through, there may be a touch more system noise. The CyberLight P2A (preamp-to-amp), on the other hand, features an input that’s more tightly controlled and optimized for driving an amplifier. Whatever goes down the P2A’s audio-grade fiber optics is amplified, so system noise is not welcome. That’s why the CyberLight P2A is the better cable for phono preamp-to-line preamp connections, as well as direct source-to-amplifierconnections. Both Wave and P2A LAM Photon Transducer Converters are trimmed for low output impedance for best performance into their respective loads. Although there’s no harm if CyberLight Wave and P2A are switched, you can see they're best optimized, refined and open using them as intended. “Remember, CyberLight LAM Photon Transducer interconnects are free from typical metal-conductor interactions between LCR (inductance, capacitance and resistance,)” enthuses Jim Wang, With CyberLight interconnects, there’s zero capacitance, zero inductance, zero skin effect, zero phase shift, and zero signal loss up to 200m, plus we control the resistance/impedance with our LAM Photon Transducers. No longer will passive control preamplifiers suffer degraded sound quality because of metal-conductor RC time constants that alter frequency response based on the volume control setting. CyberLight Breaks New Ground Another huge advantage of Harmonic Technology CyberLight cable is that it breaks the electrical connection between components, and in so doing, breaks inter-chassis ground. This alone yields a significantly cleaner signal that’s unaffected by the noise humming along on your system’s ground plane. Think of all the grounds lines “talking” to each other in a typical audio system, most of them making contact through the negative/outside barrel of RCA connectors. These ground currents---typically never at the same electrical potential---try to equalize each other, and flow back and forth creating undesirable hum and noise components. CyberLight LAM Photon Transducer Converters do reference ground depending on the power supply used. The wall-wart remote power adaptor is connected to ground for safe operation. The Cyber Power Pack references ground when plugged into the wall and charging, but emits pure DC---no ground at all---when running on battery. In spite of the ground connection for the plug-in power supplies, there exists no ground between components; fiber optic, of course, cannot conduct an electrical current. “The signal path is always isolated from ground, and whatever extremely small noise may be introduced at the output by the power supply ground can be eliminated using our Cyber Power Pack!” Jim declares. These particular qualities make Harmonic CyberLight cables completely immune to RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) when using the Cyber Power Pack, and only slightly less so with the wall-wart remote power adapters or charging Power pack that still don’t conduct ground between components. Fast But Flexible and Tidy CyberLight cable is also very flexible, making installation easy. The power connectors for the LAM Photon Transducers are located at the preamp end of each cable for convenient power supply hookup. Unobtrusive and easy to set up, Harmonic Technology CyberLight cables run a full 200m with no signal degradation whatsoever, making it a natural choice for music distribution systems. Finally, the bandwidth of Harmonic Technology CyberLight is an astounding 5Hz to a full 30MHz, allowing high-frequency harmonics to more fully describe the sound. Sound at the Speed of Light Harmonic Technology’s CyberLight cables with integrated Light Analog Module Photon Transducers provide superior performance over all conventional digital cables, TosLink, S/PDIF or AES/EBU! After a short break-in, you’ll be seduced by the quiet background, generous, lusciously harmonic, airy, stable and transparent three-dimensional soundstage, beautifully attractive midrange, and superb extension top and bottom, coupled with stunningly quick micro- and macro-dynamics. We at Harmonic Technology are truly excited to bring you our new CyberLight cables with which to explore and enjoy your audio system and music. So far, the CyberLight cables include: • CyberLight P2A (source or preamp-to-amplifier) 1.5m/pr $1,199 • CyberLight Wave (source to preamp): 1.5m/pr $1,199 • CyberLight Digital Datalink 1m $749 • Cyber Power Pack Battery/Charger (optional): $499 CyberLight cables longer than standard lengths above: • $50.00/meter increment for the first 5 meters • $100/meter increment above 6 meters All CyberLight cables extend from 1m to 200m without signal degradation! /ptr Quote
