Using military quality teflon-jacketed and impedance-controlled coaxial
cable, Core Sound offers high reliability S/PDIF data transfer at
reasonable cost.
Connector choices include RCA phono plugs (gold plated), XLRs (from
Switchcraft) and 7-pin. To our knowledge, we are the only source other
than Sony for the 7-pin plugs used on Sony's TCD-D3, TCD-D7 and TCD-D8
portable DAT recorders.
Digital cables are priced at $1.00 per foot of coaxial cable, $14 for each
7-pin plug (specify input or output) and $6 to $10 for each RCA and XLR
plug.
Common stock configurations include an 18-inch cable with a 7-pin output
plug on one end an RCA on the other ($30, known as our "7-pin-to-coax
cable") and a 3-foot cable with a 7-pin output plug on one end and a
7-pin input plug on the other ($40, known as our "TCD-Cable")
