Ailsa OCC XLR
Wide-bandwidth OCC Copper interconnect.

The Ailsa Duo OCC XLR is a wide-bandwidth solid-core interconnect featuring our new 'Duo' independent dual-drain screen topology, a further refinement of our proven 'dd' dual-drain system.
Designed to maximise the performance of high-performance audio systems using the increasingly popular XLR connectors, the Ailsa Duo XLR features completely separate, independently screened solid-core OCC copper conductors for 'hot (+) and 'cold‘ (-) connections, enhancing rejection of unwanted signal-degrading ‘noise.’ Solid-core conductors offer significant improvement over multi-strand, with lower distortion and greater consistency in performance.
Termination is with our aluminium alloy ‘dark Chrome’ XLR connectors with silver-plated OCC copper pins. Pins are of the same grade OCC copper as the conductors, which, in tandem with our solder-free cold-weld connection method, ensures excellent signal continuity.
Combined with a precision-twisted assembly – further increasing rejection of RF and EM interference – the Duo XLR offers clear, easily demonstrable performance gains with more than a hint of the coherence and tonal accuracy of our 'High End' Mavros and Arran products.
This latest generation ‘rebooted’ Ailsa reveals a neutral, detailed but engaging presentation without artifice or exaggeration, offering fresh insight into music both new and familiar.
No other cable looks like it, or performs like it.
