(April 3, 2025) Advance Paris, a French audio manufacturer known for its blend of technical innovation and accessible high-end pricing, has officially unveiled a new range of cables under the LINK branding. The collection includes a broad lineup of analog and digital interconnects aimed at connecting nearly every part of a hi-fi system.
The LINK series spans speaker cables, RCA and XLR interconnects, subwoofer cables, and coaxial and optical digital cables. It will make its public debut at AXPONA 2025 in April and then head to High-End Munich in May. Advance Paris says these products focus on material quality and shielding to ensure reliable, unfettered signal transmission.
Across the lineup, LINK cables utilize 99.99% pure Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) copper. OCC is a monocrystalline copper known for its long crystal structure and high purity, making it well-suited for minimizing electrical resistance and maintaining signal integrity. Many cables in the lineup also feature braided nylon sheaths for durability and flexible handling, while metal connectors (including banana plugs, RCA, and Toslink) are said to provide secure contact with components
