HIGH-END CABLE HANDMADE IN JAPAN
KR'Z NANO DIAMOND CABLE developed by Japanese researcher and carefully handmade by craftsman
ABOUT
KR’Z-ND CABLE is a next-generation handmade shield cable exclusively for electric guitars/basses and other instruments. We have succeeded in coating the surface of the core wire with nanodiamonds (ND) measuring 3 to 5 nm, thanks to our unique processing technology.
This nanodiamond coating smoothens the surface of the core wire, suppresses the generation of static electricity, and stabilizes signal transmission. Furthermore, it improves thermal conductivity and insulation, as well as enhances the internal impedance, thus demonstrating excellent transmission characteristics. These features lead to high-quality sound performance, including the stabilization of signal transmission, reinforcement of low frequencies, improved sound localization, enhanced separation and resolution of sound, and improved sound reverberation.
Our product has received high praise from professional musicians. All those who have tried it commented positively, saying things like "the sound comes out well, the range is wide, the sound edge is clear, the sound pressure is high, the sound comes forward, and there's a distant ringing." Also, during recording, they appreciated that "the input level of the interface is high and the range is wide, so the presence of the guitar or bass can be emphasized with minimal post-processing."
Currently, in our research lab, we have succeeded in applying this special coating, but we can only coat a certain length of the core wire, hence the production is handmade only. If there are any companies interested in mass production, please feel free to contact us.
What is nano-diamond?
Nano-diamond is a nanocarbon material that has a crystalline structure of diamond particles with a particle size of less than 100 nm (1 nm = 1/1,000,000 mm), despite its appearance as a simple gray powder. Our company uses 3-5 nm nano-diamonds produced by the detonation method, which are synthesized by the explosion of explosives. Studies have shown that nano-diamonds are crystalline nanodiamond semiconductor particles with spontaneous charges, and have the characteristic of active behavior (electrical resonance) to excite changes in electrical power, voltage, or current as an electrical signal. By using this property to form an electrode surface layer, the electrode surface layer can function as a hole transfer layer to accelerate the movement of electrons at the boundary between the electrode and the dielectric, reducing internal impedance and improving dielectric constant. Additionally, nano-diamonds have high thermal conductivity, insulation, and refractive index, and have many unknown functions that have yet to be explored, making them a next-generation material with the potential to create new functional values through further research.テキストを入力してください

Why coating copper wires with nanodiamond improves transmission efficiency:
1.Smoothing of the surface The surface of copper wire has irregularities that can cause current to become unstable as it flows through. However, nanodiamonds are extremely hard and have a smooth surface, so coating the copper wire with nanodiamonds can smooth the surface of the wire. This results in a smoother flow of current and an improvement in transmission efficiency.
2.Suppression of static electricity generation Copper wire can generate static electricity when current flows through it. Static electricity can interfere with transmission signals, negatively affecting transmission efficiency. Nanodiamonds have oxygen-functionalized surfaces that can attach to the surface of copper wire, effectively suppressing the generation of static electricity.
3.Stabilization of signal transmission Nanodiamonds have a high level of dispersion, allowing them to be uniformly coated on the surface of copper wire. This uniform coating stabilizes the transmission signal, resulting in an improvement in transmission efficiency.
4.Improvement of thermal conductivity Nanodiamonds have high thermal conductivity, and coating copper wire with nanodiamonds may improve the thermal conductivity of the wire. Copper wire generates a significant amount of heat during transmission, and coating it with nanodiamonds can facilitate heat dissipation, reducing the heat generated by the cable.
5.Improvement of insulation properties Nanodiamonds have high insulation properties, and coating copper wire with nanodiamonds may improve its insulation. Improved insulation reduces the susceptibility to external noise and interference, resulting in an improvement in sound quality.
6.Improvement of internal impedance Nanodiamonds have high electrical resonance properties, and coating copper wire with nanodiamonds may improve its internal impedance. A lower internal impedance improves the transmission efficiency of signals and can result in an improvement in sound quality.
Acoustic effects of coating copper wire with nanodiamonds:
1.Stabilization of signal transmission Smoothing the surface of copper wire may stabilize the transmission of signals, reducing reflections and attenuation of the signal. This can result in an improvement in sound quality.
2.Enhancement of low frequency response Smoothing the surface of copper wire may improve the transmission of low frequency signals, resulting in an enhancement of the low frequency response.
3.Improvement of sound localization Stabilizing the transmission of signals may improve sound localization. A reduction in reflections and attenuation of the signal can result in a clearer transmission of sound waveforms, improving the ability to localize sounds.
4.Improvement of sound separation Smoothing the surface of copper wire may improve sound separation, making it easier to differentiate between multiple instruments or sound sources.
5.Improvement of sound resolution Smoothing the surface of copper wire may improve sound resolution, allowing for more detailed listening of nuances and sound textures.
6.Improvement of sound reverberation Smoothing the surface of copper wire may improve sound reverberation, allowing for a more immersive sound experience.
