Contributor｜IM sungha

Technical Specs:

• Connectors: aeco XLR Series (AX4-1611G)
• Conductor: In-house Pure Silver (19 AWG per polarity)
• Insulation: Silk & PTFE (Teflon) with Strategic Air Gap
• Shielding: Braided Copper Shield

My Experience

We are a boutique manufacturer specializing in high-end cables for speakers, headphones, and earphones. To achieve superior cable architectures that are difficult to implement in mass-production facilities, we design our own conductors via OEM and manually craft the insulation and geometry in-house. Finding a connector system that matched this level of craftsmanship was a challenge—until we discovered aeco. It was the only brand that perfectly aligned with our vision for both structure and aesthetics.

My Setup & Workflow

This is a high-end headphone cable crafted from conductors designed and manufactured in-house. Featuring pure silver as the primary conductor, it utilizes a combination of silk and PTFE (Teflon) as insulators, with a strategic air gap maintained between the conductor and the insulation layer. Each polarity features a substantial 19 AWG gauge, protected by composite insulation and a braided copper shield.

Everything from the choice of conductor materials and plating methods to the exceptional dielectric properties of the internal insulators, and even the wide shell diameters that accommodate thick cables, has been deeply satisfying.

Sound Impressions

As our premier flagship model, it inherits the brilliant transparency of silver while delivering the bass impact, quality, and density often associated with premium copper cables. It is currently the most preferred choice among high-end headphone enthusiasts in Korea.

💬 Maker's Quote

Since launching aeco in Korea, we have actively promoted its structural merits alongside our own products. As a result, aeco has established a reputation among enthusiasts as the 'gold standard' for connectors. We now receive numerous inquiries from customers who wish to use aeco connectors even for their entry-level cables.
