Product for the most exacting requirements in terms of signal transmission, mechanical stability and design Superb mechanical properties, solid design and two separate clamping nuts ensure high contact pressure and hence consistently low transition resistance levels – the precondition for absolutely minimum effects on sound quality. The elegant design of the pole terminal is further enhanced by the multi layer gold-plated surface that reliably prevents corrosion.

The elegant design of the pole terminal is further enhanced by the multi layer gold-plated surface that reliably prevents corrosion.

Thanks to the separation of signal transmission and mechanical stability, it is now possible to use optimum materials for the first time. Signals are transmitted using high-purity copper, one of the best electrical conductors. Copper has severe mechanical limitations, however, and its use is only permitted by an ingenious combination with high-performance plastics. The copper surface is naturally gold-plated to prevent corrosion. Moreover, the soul of the new binding post WBT-0710 Cu mC is of one-piece design, removing all unnecessary transition resistance. The signal conductor is embedded in a matrix of fibre glass and mineral reinforced plastic and equipped with an anti-magnetic stainless steel strut for perfect strain relief. An additional elastomer damping ring keeps oscillations away from the contact level and successfully suppresses any kind of contact microphonics.

Virtues of WBT plugs and terminals:

1. undistorted and low-loss transmission of current and
2. the plug body and the mechanics are solid, reliable und secure (isolated).

The conventional “classic” connectors are almost always made of brass or brass sheet. They certainly fulfill their tasks, however not precisely enough.

− The massive connector body works unavoidably as a mass storage, i.e. it creates a kind of “capacitor effect” and − the greater and heavier the terminal, the greater the eddy current.
