Audio Reference III

The Furutech Audio Reference III is an interconnect cable available with RCA or XLR connectors. It uses double-shielded α (Alpha)-OCC conductors to reduce radiated noise, with Formula GC-303 antimagnetic EMI-absorbent modules surrounding each cable. The α (Alpha) conductor is made from fine PCOCC wire strands treated with Furutech’s α (Alpha) cryogenic and demagnetising process.

Air-foamed HDPE insulation reduces capacitance and damps vibration. Shield 1 is a 0.12 mm α (Alpha) conductor wire braid, while Shield 2 uses Formula GC-303 modules for noise isolation. This construction is intended to provide greater resolution, clarity and dynamic power, with a quiet soundstage in which music develops without artificial upper-frequency “presence region” glare. GC-303 supports deeper, tighter bass, helping to define the venue of the original recording. Natural, unforced detail reveals nuance and energy.
