Ferrit-Filter an den Steckverbindern oder spezielle Entstörkomponenten im Kabelquerschnitt reduzieren hochfrequente Störsignale zusätzlich. Hochwertige Schuko- oder IEC-Stecker mit vergoldeten oder versilberten Kontakten stellen eine saubere galvanische Verbindung sicher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMarken mit echtem Anspruch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardas Audio wendet seine bekannte Goldenen-Schnitt-Kabelgeometrie auch auf Netzkabel an – das Ergebnis sind Kabel, die Strom sauber übertragen und gleichzeitig als Entstörfilter wirken.
