To
achieve
the
best
possible
results from
the
individual
components
of
a
HiFi
system,
you
need
optimum connections. lt's not
so much the
cable
you
use which is
decisive
but
the
connectors,
since
it is
at the
contact
points
between cable
and system that most transmission
loss
occurs.
For
this
reason,
WBT has
developed
plugs
and
sockets
for
audio
systems
tar
superior to the
standard types
available. WBT
quality
connectors are made from
a special
OFC copper
alloy and

addrtionally ensures constant

WBT
RCA
plugs
and sockets are
matched
for
a unified
surge
impedance
of
16
ohms
which
qualified
them to form
adapted
connections when the
system
cable
WBT-2016 is
used.
Even more important
than the material
used are the
mechanical
pro-
perties
of a
connector. The
decisive factor is
a
high
and
reliable
contact
pressure,
created for
example
by clamping
or spring
mechanisms:
A
precisely
manufactured
connector
alone can fulfill these require-
ments. A
connector
made
of solid
material
(tolerance
<
51100 mm)
additionally
guarantees
extremely low
and
reliably reproducible
contact
resistances.
The
contact
quality
of conventional RCA
pin-plug
connectors
is
un-
deniably
poor.
The reason
for
this
is
a
lack
of standardisation. WBT
trial
measurements have
shown,
for
example, that the
diameter of the
out-
side contacts of RCA
sockets varies f rom 7.95
to
8.55
mm ! An ideal
pin-plug
connector can
therefore
never
be a
perfect
fit
but must
be
adaptable,_This

due to the
(patented)
collet chucking
device, which works in
the
same
way
as the
chuck of a
power
drill, WBT
coaxial
plugs
can
be
adjusted
to fit
phono
sockets
of all
kinds. The
lamellas
of the outer
plug
contact can be
narrowed
down to
fit
any socket by
turning
the
plug
sleeve.
This not
only ensures
uniformly
high
contact
pressure
but
also clamps the
plug
firmly
to the
socket.
-
The
spring
path
of
the fourfold
slotted inside
contact
is
such that
the necessary
contact
pressure
is reliably
created even
in
the
widest
of sockets.
-
Intelligent contact
arrangement: when WBT
plugs
are used
in
conjunction
with WBT
coaxial
sockets, this ensures that the
outside
conductors are activated
before the inside
conductors, thus
preven-
ting unwanted
voltage
peaks.
