The Naim Hi-Line is a high-performance signal cable developed in parallel with our flagship CD555 player, designed to surpass the already excellent standard cable in every respect. During the development of the Hi-Line, we addressed all aspects of cable technology, as we wanted to improve the signal cable as a whole rather than just focusing on conductors and insulation, as is usually the case.

This led to the creation of the Hi-Line signal cable. It features our patented, decoupling Air-PLUG. Available in DIN or RCA versions, this connector prevents the transmission of vibrations picked up by the cable via airborne sound, thereby preserving the musicality of your system.

Features
• patented Air-PLUG prevents the transmission of vibrations
• 2 x 2 multi-strand conductors with 80 individual wires, PTFE and Kapton insulation, helical shielding
• available in DIN/DIN, RCA/RCA, DIN/RCA, and RCA/DIN configurations

Technology
The decoupling construction of the Air-PLUG prevents the transmission of vibrations generated within the connected equipment or picked up by the cable via airborne sound, thus preserving signal integrity. The transition between the plug and the cable consists of interlocking rings that form a flexible, vibration-damping "grommet." The cable is flexibly connected to the plug. The metal content in the Air-PLUG has been kept low to prevent electromagnetic effects. The design of the cable itself minimizes eddy currents, and a specially developed clamping mechanism prevents the cable from being compressed, which would otherwise alter its impedance.

The Hi-Line signal cable has been developed with the utmost care and with a focus on optimal sound quality. It contains four multi-strand conductors, each with 80 individual wires. The conductors are insulated with PTFE, Kapton, and PTFE tape and twisted into pairs, which are then covered with a semi-conductive shield to prevent static charge. A copper braid screen is applied over this shield, followed by a layer of PTFE tape. Two such twisted pairs are then wrapped with multiple layers of PTFE tape and finished with a rubber outer jacket. The result is a dual-channel cable in which the signal conductor and signal ground are held at a precise distance from one another, preventing field effects.
