This is our finest stereo interconnect cable to date and improves on the much loved MKI version of the cable.

Our Class 1 standard interconnect is a multistranded high grade LC-OFC (Linear Crystal - Oxygen Free Copper) cable and is ideal for many hifi systems. The two multi stranded cores are wrapped in low-κ dielectric Polyethylene. The cable has Insert Audio's cotton fibre strands around the Polyethylene with a copper coax stranded weave screen in a flexible PVC outer jacket.

We find that this cable can be used in all audio systems that require stereo interconnects and offers excellent value for money. The IC100 MKII has been designed specifically for use as an audio interconnect unlike some coaxial cables with a single solid core surrounded by insulation and using the screen as the return. The IC100 has a dedicated return with the same quality conductors as the send and has the screen attached at one end.

Review of IC100 Mk 11, first published by  in the UK.

The Insert Audio IC100 Mk 11 may look plain - 24 carat gold plated insulators apart - but it performs above its mundane appearance. The Teflon jacketed oxygen-free copper cable has a tight forceful midrange punch, only losing control at extremes of volume and pace. Bass is good, if not overly deep, the rhythms of The Jungle Brothers "Because I Got It Like That" being articulate, if not totally full-bodied. Equally, though upper frequency details are fine, they're not as pin-sharp as they could be."

"This is a good, affordable interconnect, that helps produce an exciting, raw and enjoyable sound."

Review of IC100 Mk 11, first published by  in the UK.

Sound Quality.
"The major criticism of IC100 was its tendency to dryness. This is unfortunate, since in almost every other area it attracted many positive comments. In particular, its bass is full and extended, but still somehow rather dry and lacking in communication, as if the harmonics are attenuated. Voices are clear and well distinguished, but there's still the sense of lost resonance, like a singer with a slight sore throat who can't quite focus the note. Imaging is good on the whole, if not outstanding, while the loud passages are handled with panache, if occasionally a little roughness."

The Lab report.
"It is not clear what distinguishes the mk11 from the mk1, (so why didn't he ask, for the sake of a phone call??) but the former appears to be (in reality it is!!) a very flexible, symmetrical interconnect. A twisted pair geometry is established using Polyethylene insulated, LC-OFC (Linear Crystal Oxygen Free Copper) stranded conductors for signal and return. This holds its resistance to a moderate 126 mOhm though the 25 MOhm leakage and low Q-factor suggest its dielectric properties are not up to the standard of say the similarly specified QED. Capacitance is safe enough at 128 pF while the heavy coaxial braid (grounded at the cables source end) should prove effective against electromagnetic interference (EMI). A safe but unspectacular cable." PM (Paul Miller).

Inductance - 6% lower than group average
Capacitance - 18% higher than group average
Resistance - 13% higher than group average
Dielectric quality - 80% lower than group average
Effect on signal bandwidth - 25% lower than group average

Conclusion:	"Mostly good sound is let down by pervasive dryness."
