Ordinary Fiber Optic Cable Can Degrade Your Surround Sound
Even the most advanced home theaters aren’t immune to digital jitter. This time domain error in the digital signal during digital-to-analog conversion by your AV receiver can produce audible imperfections: phase distortion, higher noise floor and loss of audio clarity. Ordinary fiber optic cables can actually increase jitter. Their low-grade fiber limits the amount of signal transferred down the light path, causing data loss and inferior sound. Plus, their unpolished terminations often cause internal light reflections that induce even more jitter.
Monster Cable M Series 850 Digital Fiber Optic for Optimum Surround Sound
An InsuLight Jacket protects the optical signal from cable vibrations, while graded-index fiber ensures an ultra-wide bandwidth and maximum bitstream transfer. Plus, Monster hand polishes the fiber ends within a fraction of a lightwave for minimal internal reflections. It’s a costly, labor intensive process, but it dramatically reduces cable-induced jitter for more realistic, detailed digital music and movie surround sound.
Advanced Connector Design for Maximum Signal Transfer
Ordinary fiber optic connectors don’t always ensure perfect alignment between a cable’s fiber termination and an AV receiver’s optical lens. This creates a gap that can lead to lightwave contamination, light dissipation and signal loss. And that means smeared, inferior sound. M850 DFO features a flexible spring-loaded connector for precision optical alignment and optimum, low-loss data transfer. When it comes to your home entertainment system, you don’t cut corners. You use the highest performance components.
Connect an audio component to an A/V receiver or speakers using this fiber-optic cable that features graded index fiber with InsuLight cladding for improved signal transfer and a HexMesh jacket for enhanced durability and strain relief.
Monster Cable Products, Inc. was founded in 1979 by Noel Lee, who was then a laser-fusion design engineer at Lawrence-Livermore Laboratory, as well as an audiophile and professional drummer. Lee discovered that wires of different constructions produced varying degrees of audio performance when hooked up to loudspeakers. From this discovery, he developed a high performance speaker cable and named it Monster Cable, then literally created an industry. The invention of Monster Cable created an entirely new product category that revolutionized the audio market. Before there was Monster Cable, most stereo systems were wired with ordinary "zip-cord," the same cable used for electrical household and lamp wire. Their inferior construction and cheap materials restricts power, dynamic range and clarity in the lows, mids, and highs.
Lee chose the name "Monster" because it sounded strong and powerful. It became an immediate hit with consumers. In fact, the name Monster Cable is so synonymous with high quality and high performance, customers often assume that any cable they purchase in reputable stores would be Monster even though there are other cable brands.
Monster Cable is now the world's leading manufacturer of high performance cables that connect audio/video components for home, car and professional use as well as computers and computer games. Monster Cable is an indispensable component for music lovers, audiophiles, recording studios, sound professionals, musicians, custom-installers and home theatre enthusiasts. Monster's audio cables increase the clarity, dynamics and power of the audio signals that travel through them. Monster video cables deliver the sharpest, clearest picture possible with naturally vivid color from traditional and digital television, projectors, home theatre and satellite systems. Monster Game products lets enthusiasts enjoy the ultimate gaming experience by maximizing sound and video quality of a gaming system. Monster Power, a division of Monster Cable, delivers cleaner AC power to A/V components and computer products and high joule surge protection for maximum performance.
Monster's New Product Development division draws upon years of audio design and critical listening experience, to create the innovative, high performance cables and accessories that make Monster Cable the leader in the industry. Already holding over 200 US and international patents, Monster Cable is continually striving to discover and develop new, advanced technologies and designs to meet the needs of the ever-advancing consumer electronics industry. Monster now offers over 4000 products and is sold in over 80 countries worldwide.
