Oyaide Focus 1
A
true work of art are the Focus 1 XLR connectors from Oyaide.
Oyaide enhance all their products to a very high standard of quality
by paying careful attention to each detail of structural characteristic,
texture and appearance.
Only when such details are integrated successfully, a product is completed
perfectly.
Oyaide, spare no effort in spending time for those creative works.
It took them a whole year to complete the "FOCUS 1" XLR
connector since they first thought about the planning design. The
design is inspired by an appearance of lens on a camera which represent
subtle and exquisite sound image of FOCUS 1. As a result of integration
of high-quality sound and efficient design, a masterpiece XLR plug,
FOCUS 1, was produced by uncompromising spirit and technical know-how.
Originality of design
The Focus 1 features One-touch push-pull function
which is the entirely-new locking system. You can lock them Just by
inserting FOCUS 1 into the inlet and unlock by pulling the tip ring.
Ball bearing system, manufactured by ultraprecision machining, is
employed for its locking mechanism.
These functions deliver smooth operation and a absolutely tight and
firm plug connection.
In addition, an innovative idea is used for the contact of FOCUS1.
The No.1 contact pin (earth) is 3mm longer than other pins, so that
it makes contact quickly for the purpose of protection from POP noises
at the moment of connection.
Furthermore, bladed cable clump is employed for cable fixture. By
applying this clumping system, it is possible to connect the chassis
ground and stabilize the cable simultaneously.
Usability
Due to its 12mm install cable O.D. (when cable
bushing is removed), it gives infinite possibility to do-it-yourselfers.
And its tapered insertion hole makes cable installation easier and
avoids from cable disconnection by bending.
Furthermore, a rubber ring which is installed at the junction of the
body and housing acts as vibration damper and loosening protector.
Material
The contact pins of FOCUS 1 are made from phosphor
bronze bar which is precisely shaped by CNC machining. After careful
machine barreling, silver (inner) and rhodium (outer) are directly
plated on the focus 1. Then, these pins are molded into highly rigid
30% glass filled PBT which insures high-speed vibration attenuation.
The body and housing, processed by CNC machining, are high-density
and have high shielding performance compared to an existing lost-wax
processed body. For its surface treatment, hard chrome plating is
coated like a body of camera.
Appearance design
The design of FOCUS 1 is inspired by an appearance
of lens on a camera which projects subtle and exquisite image.
For the identification of channel L and R, the SWAROVSKI rhinestones,
blue and red, are enchased on the surface of its body.
The beauty of its body design and a brilliance of SWAROVSKI enhance
the appeal of this product and produce a sense of expectancy.
