Why the Bullet Plug® connector is better
than the RCA plug you presently use.
The perfect RCA connector for Audio and
Home Theater cables.
The Bullet Plug® connector is a totally new approach to
RCA/phono connection where every aspect of electron
flow has been considered.
The result is an RCA compatible connector that can
improve the performance of any analogue, digital or
video cable – often dramatically.
Please note the Bullet Plug® is minimalist in design and
appearance. If you’re looking for connector jewellery
this plug may not be for you. However if your objective
is ultimate performance, read on…
The quality of RCA plugs is easily overlooked in the
context of an audio or home theater system. Yet RCA
plugs can have a disproportionate and detrimental effect
on the final performance.
This is easy to understand when you consider two
points:
1. The delicate nature of the tiny, millivolt signals
flowing in your interconnect, digital and video cables.
2. The number of times these delicate signals travel
through low- conductive brass RCA plugs before
reaching the amplifier.
The Bullet Plug® has been specifically designed to
preserve the delicate millivolt signals and provide a
cleaner, more efficient transfer of electrons.
This translates to significant improvements in sound and
vision.
What you should know about RCA plugs:
The cables you now use are made from high-conductive,
annealed copper or silver wires - terminated with lowconductive, gold-plated brass RCA plugs.
Annealed copper has a conductivity rating of at least
100% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard).
Brass has a conductivity rating of 28% IACS.
Because of this low conductivity, we believe brass RCA
plugs act as a bottleneck to electron flow. Brass plugs
may also cause phase errors and smearing through mass
and skin effect.
Another problem is the return/ground collar - which can
impair electron flow through:
• “Eddy current” distortion – as electrons proceed to
and from the RCA socket into the collar through
multiple contact points.
• “Capacitive” distortion – where gaps exist
between the socket and collar.
• “Micro-arcing” distortion – an electrical short that
can occur where gaps exist between the socket and collar.
Additionally, RCA plugs are coaxial designs (metal
return/ground surrounding signal pin) that have an
impedance effect. This impedance can have a varied
and adverse impact on performance.
The solution:
The new Bullet Plug® connector solves the problems of
standard and audiophile grade RCA plugs by providing a
faster, cleaner signal of high purity and detail.
To achieve this we have designed the Bullet Plug® as a
miniature cable – with high-conductive, gold-plated
tellurium copper (CuTe) pins providing a rapid transfer of
electrons to/from RCA sockets.
In our patent-pending design, the return pin of the Bullet
Plug® makes single point contact with the side wall of
an RCA socket - concentrating electrons to one point
thereby reducing distortion. This is a similar approach to
“star earthing” used in amplifiers.
The perfect RCA connector for 75-Ohm
Digital and Video cables.
Standard RCA plugs may interfere with the true
75-Ohm impedance of your digital and video cables due
to impedance variation.
The Bullet Plug® has negligible impedance and takes on
the true 75-Ohm impedance (or any other impedance
value) of the cable itself.
Imagine baring the ends of your 75-Ohm cable and
holding the bared wires up against the RCA socket.
You would achieve a true 75-Ohm connection.
This is what happens when you use the Bullet Plug®
connector.
The perfect RCA connector for
Car Audio cables.
A mobile environment places enormous stress on the
most advanced RCA plugs.
Many (including audiophile grade locking varieties) become
loose through vibration – causing capacitive type distortion
and hum, and eventually complete loss of signal.
Others grip the RCA socket with such ferocity that they
damage the socket. This can lead to oxidation, which
will compromise the signal.
The Bullet Plug® is made from an engineering grade
polymer that adjusts to the RCA socket for a firm, secure
fit – yet is easy to disconnect. Once adjusted to the
socket, the Bullet Plug® remains in place despite the
most severe vibration.
Furthermore the Bullet Plug® can provide the cleanest,
most detailed sound of any RCA connector available.
Single return contact concentrates electrons
to one point - reducing RCA plug “eddy current”
distortion. The single contact point is a similar
approach to “star earthing” in amplifiers.
