Van Den Hul The FIRST Metal Screen RCA

About the Van Den Hul The FIRST Metal Screen RCA

The FIRST ® Metal Screen is an extension of our “The FIRST ®” series of coaxial Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) connections, designed for the highest quality audio and SPDIF digital signal transport. 

The FIRST ® Metal Screen is a special version of our The FIRST ® with the same basic construction, but as the name suggests, a densely woven high-quality metal (*) screen has been added that covers the Linear Structured Carbon ® shield.

As such, The FIRST ® Metal Screen can be considered the coaxial (unbalanced) version of our The SECOND ® balanced Linear Structured Carbon ® interconnect that is also metal shielded. *: High purity dense Silver coated high purity Matched Crystal OFC.

The major difference between the members of our “The FIRST ®” series is the resistance of their shield series; Our The FIRST®, The FIRST® Ultimate and The FIRST® Metal Screen show progressively lower shield resistance. (Respectively: ~14, ~4.8 and 0.0049 Ohm/m.).

While both of the first mentioned 100% metal-free versions are hum and noise free in more than 95% of all line level connection applications, the FIRST ® metallic shield with its lowest shielding resistance is specifically designed for those situations where excessive ground currents through the cable shield are present (e.g. in some tube equipment), in complex grounding situations and/or where additional shielding against strong external electrical interference is required (e.g. in areas heavily polluted by electrical noise).
