This is the philosophy behind our original DMHC (Discrete Multi-conductor Helical-parallel Construction). Stereo cable conductors tend to have two cores, hot and cold; but Zonotone DMHC is a multicore conductor. The minimum number of cores is 4, but there are also 5-core × 2 (10 cores total) and 10-core × 2 (20 cores total) products.

As a result, we were able to achieve a brand new hybrid multicore conductor using complex combinations of various wire diameters, materials, and diameter variations. The basic DMHC structure consists of independent multicore conductors arranged cylindrically around a central core, with the plus and minus conductors isolated from each other by means of an insulative dummy material. For speaker cable use, this structure was further advanced to DMHC-Duo/DMHC-Quadri.

We believe this structure to be the best possible structure for reduced inductance and capacitance, for reducing phase distortion, high-frequency or intermodulation distortion, and crosstalk, for improving bandwidth balance and other properties, for suppressing resonance, electromagnetic induction, and vibration, and for preventing energy loss, among the numerous other extremely large benefits.

The secret is its original golden ratio. Based on data gathered over a long time from huge numbers of prototypes and repeated listening, Zonotone conductors are created with an original golden ratio unrivalled in the industry. Far from relying solely on quantitative and coefficient findings from physical and scientific analyses, priority is given to musicality as judged by the ear.

All Zonotone cables are made in Japan. This is also part of the secret to reliability.
A new sound experience made possible by unadulterated transmission. Zonotone cables are “purity and power” with no signal loss. That is why they provide purely transmitted sound.
