Design Elements:

 

Perfect size and shape.  The varied dimensions of 3.5mm headphone jacks offer a unique challenge to the audio cable industry and anyone looking to build a high-performing cable.  There are few if any high-quality balanced 3.5mm plugs.   We have a streamlined 10mm barrel diameter that will fit very compact jack layouts, but a newly-expanded 8mm rear opening and 8mm front opening will fit the vast majority of cables.  We have also shortened the barrel slightly to make the plugs less obtrusive. 

 

Ideal installation conditions.  The solder contacts inside the plug are thoroughly insulated and properly spaced to allow effortless cable installation, without the risk of shorts or compromised insulation.  This design has been prototyped and tested over an extended period to ensure it goes the distance.  The barrel offers ample room inside and is treated to ensure its interior is nonconductive, and the plug avoids the use of magnetically charged materials wherever possible. 

 

The best metallurgy for each design.  A high-conductivity, high strength combination of gold and brass is employed for this connector.  Superior plating thickness and complete plating of all plug surfaces set this connector apart. 

 

Unique barrel aesthetics.  The Eidolic 3.5mm balanced plug is incredibly light and compact due to the choice of materials, which also confer a near-indestructible exterior; the revised dimensions reduce weight slightly.  The new black anodized aluminum shell is textured with a proprietary process that yields a tough, matte finish that sparkles in the light.  A distinctive crimson Eidolic logo is screened and cured onto the upper area of the barrel.  Even the most abrasive conditions will not harm the exterior of these connectors.
