KLE Innovations Pure22 Harmony RCA Plug

The new KLE Innovations Pure22 Harmony RCA Plugs. The 22 is used to indicate 2022, the year of the official release.

KLEI have upgraded/improved the current KLEI Pure Harmony RCA Plug and we believe that the KLEI Pure Harmony22 RCA Plug will now perform near (or even at or even higher than) the performance level of the KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA Plug (now discontinued).

The look of the KLEI Pure22 Harmony RCA Plug will be similar but overall, it does have a new look/appearance. It does replace the original KLEI Pure Harmony RCA Plug and we believe that it’s an even higher performing replacement.

The KLEI Pure Harmony22 RCA Plug has a Light Red/Pink KLE logo, as you can see in the image to the right.

Specifications:

  • Proprietary mathematical modelling is utilised to produce the Pure Harmony’s ground to signal pin relationship, parameters, and determines the proprietary metallurgical processes that are used. Extrapolated: >101% IACS, even >104% IACS
  • Excellent for digital. 100% compatible with SPDIF standards
  • Glass-filled thermoplastic polymer body and collar
  • Tolerates high-temperature soldering required for high silver content solder
  • Single point grounding
  • Cable OD sizes from 4mm to 9.5mm.  A small cable grommet and 2 screws supplied to retain and secure the cable
  • Higher conductivity.  Calculations indicate a progression in IACS percentage, in the series. Greater than that of Classic, Copper, or Silver Harmony RCA plugs

Recommendations: depending on the audio system…

  • Burn-in Time: >200hrs and even >300hrs
  • Cable OD: 4.0mm to 9.5mm

Cable entry diameter:
You can see from the "dis-assembled view" picture (see link below) that the plug comes with a detachable rubber grommet. This grommet sits at the cable entry end and has a hole of diameter 4mm. This can be removed giving a overall cable entry of 9.5mm.

In Summary, KLEI’s Harmony RCA Plugs represent a further innovation and a totally refined approach to RCA connection.  Its innovations and refinements include:

  • The conductive pins incorporate highly conductive materials, such as copper and silver
  • KL’s proprietary mathematical modelling optimises mass, thickness, and composition of the conductive pins, resulting in enhanced electron flow
  • The conductive pins are arranged to maintain a consistent maximum distance from each other which further improves capacitive and inductive reactance effects and minimizes cross-talk EMF effects that occur in all other RCA plugs. This allows for significantly higher characteristic impedance, than conventional RCA plugs, and makes the Harmony RCA plug an ideal connector for digital Interconnects requiring RCA connectivity in either 50, 75, or 110 Ohm impedances and low jitter
  • The conductive pins are now much stronger and allow for small and large conductor wires to be soldered to them
  • Further rejection of the idea of using a formed metal collar to encircle the centre pin and serve as the reference to ground, which eliminates co-axial inductive reactances
  • Single point star grounding, instead, to eliminate eddy current distortions, capacitive and inductive reactance, and micro-arcing
  • The ground pin includes thread teeth to star ground a conductive Housing
  • Addition of an anti-short shield
  • The head assembly jaw structure has been redesigned and improved to allow an easy snap-like connection to an RCA socket, but still ensuring an ultimate connection
  • The housing assembly uses 2 screws to secure the cable sheath to the Harmony RCA plug housing
  • An extremely high-temperature melting point polymer, with excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics, has been used
