Naim Super Lumina XLR Interconnect

Super Lumina interconnects are designed to minimise the effect of external and internal interference sources and preserve maximum signal fidelity.

The fundamental cable design consists of several individually-insulated multi-strand silver-plated copper conductors of varying diameters enclosed in a tin-plated copper shield. This is all enclosed in a soft outer jacket which facilitates easy installation whilst minimising microphonic interference. Each signal, return, ground and shield conductor is individually manufactured for its specific function.

The Naim Audio Air-PLUG

The Super Lumina interconnects feature an advanced version of Naim Audio’s patented Air-PLUG technology first introduced for the Hi-Line. All DIN and XLR connectors use the Air-PLUG connector which is designed as a decoupling device to minimise microphonic interference and preserve the integrity of the audio signal.

The new Super Lumina Air-PLUG features multiple individual aluminium rings that form the rear of the connector. These are screwed together to form an articulating section which inhibits the passage of unwanted energy, the choice of aluminium as a material enhances this process. The connector pins on DIN-terminated cables also float within their sockets, extending the decoupling effect right to the point where the signal enters the product.

Who are Naim

Naim Audio has a special place in British audio, thanks to its founder and inspirational leader Julian Vereker, a hugely talented mechanical and electronic engineer with a passion for, amongst many things, music. Founded in 1973, Naim has always had a firm philosophy of music first, measurements second - each Naim product is extensively auditioned as part of the product development process to make sure that it delivers clear, emotional music-making ability. Naim products are designed to bring the closest facsimile of a live music event into your home listening environment, to give you maximum pleasure from your music collection.

Many of the Naim products are evolutions of previous designs, incorporating sometimes quite small changes to the mechanical or electronic design - however, these incremental changes make a large overall improvement in the musical performance of each product.

Naim meticulously focuses on every element of the hifi system in order to ensure that the most immersive and musically dynamic sound response is achieved. Naim appreciates the importance of the audio chain itself and respects that interconnects and cables are an impacting factor of musical playback. Naim's range of high-performance cables ensures the integrity of the precious audio signal being transferred through them. 

The Super Lumina is the flagship interconnect designed, engineered and manufactured by Naim in Salisbury. The SuperLumina features their patented Air-PLUG technology, as found in the Hi-Line, in all configurations of XLR and DIN. The AirPLUG is designed as a decoupled device, which aids in minimising interference at a microphonic level. 

Each signal, return, ground and shield conductor has been manufactured specifically and individually for its dedicated function. Every Super Lumina cable is assembled by hand at Naim's headquarters in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
