Armour Link Interconnect
Harmonic Technology Armour Link III makes its debut in 2015 with a unique design concept and special conductor material – Single Crystal OCC Litz copper wire & Single Crystal OCC silver plated Litz copper wire.
HT Armour Link III consists of three conductors which have a polyethylene central air tubing and a spiral double-layer Single Crystal OCC Litz copper core (one of three conductors is a Single Crystal OCC silver plated Litz copper wire) with Microporous Teflon® insulation.
This conductor material and cable structure help reduce inductance, capacitance and skin effect.
You can hear the detailed balance of a warm sound and sharp detail, along with enhanced stability and less-distortion.
Pro-7 Reference Armour
Harmonic Technology’s Pro-7 Reference Armour speaker cable (available in single-wire or bi-wire) is our premium signature line of Harmonic Technology speaker cables.
It consist of a single crystal OCC litz copper wire plus a single crystal OCC silver plated litz copper wires with a symmetrical quad conductor design.
Both larger conductors have a double-layer of single crystal OCC litz wire with microporous Teflon® insulation.
The other two smaller conductors have a single crystal OCC silver plated litz copper wire with polyethylene central air tubing.
This unique cable design and superior conductor material make this speaker cable an acoustic achievement in precise detail and vivid holographic dimension to carry the best possible audio performance in your audio system.
Pro-9 Reference SE
Harmonic Technology’s Pro-9 Reference SE 2014’s version speaker cable, (available as a mono speaker wire, internal bi-wire or external bi-wire formats), is an improved version from previously released Pro-9 Plus speaker cables. We have completely re-designed the geometry designs as well as using the soft PE and High Tech *Teflon insulation. The only conductor material is Single Crystal Copper (OCC Copper). The Pro-9 Reference SE speaker cable has greatly improved the overall performance. We have also engaged design effort to improve the flexibility in particular for winding around tight corners.
Pro-9 Ref. External Biwire Version Speaker Cable A.K.A. (shotgun biwire)
In a variety of lengths and terminations, the Pro-9 Ref. speaker cable could accommodate any of your speaker cable requirements. This speaker cable ensures the best signal transfer and greatly reduces inductance and capacitance for extremely accurate sound. The Pro-9 Reference is the best speaker cable available for any kind speakers to connect with any amplifiers.
This version speaker cable will easily outperform any existing speaker cables on the market. This speaker cable allows the bass to be very tight, yet extremely dynamic. The mid-range is exceptionally rich, with tremendous detail and harmonic completeness that borders on realism. The highs are very smooth and detailed, without the artificial “zing” that you may experience with other speaker cables. Harmonic Technology has delivered a speaker cable that allows the soundstage to bloom as large as your room — a holographic depth and roundness you simply must experience.
We have developed two distinct types of the Pro-9 Reference bi-wire speaker cable—an internal and an external version—in order to accommodate your varying needs and configurations.
Note: For a special handling with extra cost, your dealers can order the “BI-AMPING-SET which is the PRO-9 Reference external biwire speaker cable can has separated woofer and tweeter cable” for you.
The Pro-9 Reference Internal Bi-Wire
(A.K.A. standard biwire speaker cable)
The Pro-9 Internal Bi-Wire is similar to our previous Pro-9 Plus speaker cable, but it contains the Woofer set and Tweeter set within one jacket but in the separated compartments. The sample shown in the image represents a configuration where two spades are provided at the amp end and four spades are provided at the speaker end. The Pro-9 Reference Internal Bi-Wire is ideal for customers who prefer only one single jacket for each side of the speaker.
Pro-9 Ref. Internal Biwire Speaker Cable
The Pro-9 Reference External Bi-Wire provides an unique design, where we have merged two separate sets—the Woofer set in the inner circle and the Tweeter set in the outer circle—at the amp end. This type of configuration is ideal for situations where your speaker has a larger than average distance between the “Woofer binding post” and the “Tweeter binding post”. The example below indicates a configuration where two spades are provided at the amp end as well as a spade on the Woofer binding post and a locking banana on the Tweeter binding post.
Mono Speaker Cable
(A.K.A. Full Strength; Full Range; non-biwire Speaker cable)
The Pro-9 Reference SE is also available as a Mono speaker cable. This cable is a newly-improved version with greater flexibility than our previous Pro-9 plus Mono Speaker cable.

Harmonic Technology Fantasy III AC-10 OCC Copper
Since the clarity of an audio or video signal can be greatly affected by the component’s power supply, it makes perfect engineering sense to provide your power supply with electricity which has been “conditioned" by Single Crystal purity. Harmonic Technology’s Fantasy AC-10 achieves the highest level of clarity by using only the finest high purity copper and by adapting more advanced Balanced Field Geometry cable design. Having a total gauge of 10, the Fantasy AC-10 has more Single Crystal copper than all other power cords on the market.
In addition, each individual conductor of the Fantasy AC-10 is insulated with formed polyethylene (PE) to reduce strand interactions. With more insulation than any other power cord available, the Fantasy AC-10 further eliminates and rejects RFI. Constructed using both a foil shield and a separate braided shield to “drain" away any unwanted electrical interference with the Fantasy AC-10, the component is now free of any electrical disturbance, including collision with crystalline barriers and impurities. The power supply of the component can now allow the audio or video signal to be processed without additional distortion.
The Fantasy AC-10 has more transparency, combined with less coloration and distortion from your electronic components, making it a magical upgrade to your system without changing any of your current components.

Audioplilia : Harmonic Technology Melody Link MK III Interconnect Cable
by Roy Harris, July 2014
I was recently contacted by Miranda Billing, a representative of Harmonic Technology. She was previously associated with another company, Legenburg, whose cables I had reviewed, years ago. She asked me if I was interested in reviewing the latest version of the Melody Link interconnect, the Mark III version. After briefly perusing the company’s website, reading a description of the Melody Link MK III, I noticed that at the time, that there was no review of the cable linked to the website.
The Melody Link MK III, contains both continuous cast silver and copper wire. The combination, according to the company’s design engineers, is to provide a balanced frequency response and avoid an emphasis upon bass frequencies, given the particular cable design, which I will discuss shortly.
I own and have reviewed a Neotech single crystal silver cable and have owned a continuous cast copper cable. My experience with such cables is that its sound properties include a balanced frequency response and high resolution.
Cable Design
The geometry is balanced symmetric. There are 8 PE tubes arranged in a circle, and an additional hollow PE tube passing through the center of the cable. Continuous cast silver conductors are placed in the middle of two PE tubes on one side of the cable, and two continuous cast copper conductors are placed in the middle of two PE tubes on the other side of the cable. Thus, the conductors are parallel to each other and do not touch each other at any time. One conductor is solid core, the second is multi-gauge, multi-stranded. The 4 conductors combine to a thickness of 19 gauge.
Internal Wires
Harmonic Technology is proud to introduce internal wires, the best sounding quality and special materials – OCC Single Crystal Silver and Copper, for personal or engineer’s project. Also, HT design team provide OCC Silver wire with gold molten, and another unique one is OCC Silver w/ Gold plated wires for hi-end audio market.

Audiophilia: Harmonic Technology Magic Audio HDMI 1.4A High Speed Cable
by Roy Harris, March 2011
This is the third in a series of reviews of HDMI cables. This cable differs fromthe Cardas and Audioquest in that its conductors are copper, without silver plating. In addition, like the Audioquest, there is an aarow at one end. Jim Wang, president of Harmonic Technology, informed me that directionality is important for lengths greater than 7 meters. Lengths less than 7 meters do not impact the sound regardless of orientation.
Since this is the third review of HDMI cable, I wanted to include an explanation as to the reason(s) for auditioning these cables. Essentially, it is in response to PS Audio’s assertion that its power wave transport and dac is optimized, sonically when using I2S via HDMI. According to Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio, PS Audio uses the HDMI connector for their differential I2S, having nothing to do with the HDMI spec. They are just using the connector. A technician at PS Audio has stated that the quality of the shielding and conductors affects noise, and that two HDMI cables may reveal differences in frequency response, but the latter has not been tested by him. I believe that if there were no difference in the performance of HDMI cables when using their digital hardware, eventually such information would be revealed to the user.
I applied the same break-in procedue as used for the Audioquest and Cardas cables, namely, 1 week (about 42 hours) from cable box to TV, followed by 24 hours of a signal between transport and DAC.
Cable Construction
Metal is all copper, 22 strands. Gauge is 24AWG. Geometry satisfies the 1.4 specification. Dielectic is polyethylene. Connectors are gold plated copper. Conductors are soldered to connectors using silver solder. Jim Wang suggested that silver plating exaggerates the impact of the skin effect.
