Breathtaking sound through air insulation – On their way to perfect insulation, German cable manufacturer in-akustik has realized many innovative designs—for example, the DUO PE insulation or the PETS (PE tube support). Now, another groundbreaking invention has arrived: the Referenz NF-2404. A product that again raises the bar and approximates the ideal of pure air insulation as closely as never before.
When it comes to high-end applications, air is still the best insulator currently available as it achieves low capacities and low losses. With NF cables (fitted with RCA or XLR plugs), these factors are critical for creating an exceptional connection. But consistent design is equally important: The precisely defined distance between the conductors and the shield must be maintained at all times.
Flexibility is another key challenge – the cable must allow for conveniently running it behind your hi-fi equipment or rack. Just like all loudspeaker and audio cables from the Referenz series, the NF- 2404 is entirely made in Germany. The clips are meticulously assembled by hand at the on-site factory and then threaded into the Super Speed waveguide.
AIR HELIX DESIGN
Air remains the best insulator for cables. It allows low capacitance and low losses. With the air helix structure of the reference NF-2404, we are closer to pure air insulation than ever before. Just as important as the insulation is a homogeneous structure. This means that the conductors and the shielding must maintain precisely defined distances to one another. To meet these requirements, we have developed a special clip. Strung together in the interior of the cable, several of such clips form the supporting frame that holds the two symmetrically arranged conductors in a helix-shape in the air while keeping the shielding at the exact distance.
SUPER SPEED CONDUCTOR
Obviously, the conductors themselves play a key role, too. For the NF-2404, they are made of 32 high-purity copper wires braided around a PE core. A very thin lacquer coating on the wires prevents the formation of eddy currents inside this Super Speed waveguide. A conductor that can also pass on extremely dynamic signal sequences very quickly and precisely.
GAP RCA II RCA PLUG
This newly developed high end plug enables a symmetrical connection to be made up to the terminals of the equipment. Thanks to its two-piece earth ring, this RCA plug has three contacts, exactly like an XLR plug. The screening and negative conductors are only brought together again when at the terminals of the equipment.
HANDMADE BY IN-AKUSTIK
We have long set the bar very high in regard to quality, because cables and connections are extremely sensitive. Physical phenomena that arise during the transmission of signals can only be controlled with technical finesse and the best materials. For this reason all cables are manufactured in a German cable mill and finished by us in Ballrechten-Dottingen in elaborate manual work.
Thank you for considering Yorkshire AV for your next investment in your AV or HiFi setup.
We are an approved retailer for all brands sold on our website, which means full manufacturers warranty and support as well as detailed product knowledge within our small business.
We use an inventory tracking system which states if item(s) are in stock and if not, what are the likely lead times.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned.
(1) Examples of non-returnable items:
- Gift cards HiFi Racks
- Second hand units / clearance products
- Headphones (due to listener hygiene)
- Custom cables
- Special order items (items that we order in for you/were not in stock at the time of order)

- Orders placed over a weekend and are in stock will be dispatched on Monday.
Orders for items not in stock
Given the vast amount of variations of each product (e.g. AudioQuest cables) or Pro-Ject Audio Turntables - we keep the most common options in stock (i.e. gloss black finish, or 1.5m RCA cables) whereas longer cables or cables with terminations that are less frequently ordered will be ordered as required.
Generally speaking - we receive orders within 2-3 days for UK suppliers and 3-4 days for European suppliers (i.e. AudioQuest, DALI).
We want you to be 100% satisfied which is why we'll give you an email/call if item(s) aren't in stock and give you the option of changing the order, cancelling or if you're happy to wait a few days, we'll get it out as soon as possible.
If an item states 'Available to Order' - this means the item is not in stock but we are able to order in. Lead times average 2 days but in some circumstances, delivery times may be longer and is outside of our control. Please contact us to get an estimate on delivery times if orders are urgent.
Warranty
By default, our brands follow their standard manufacturers warranty terms and length.
For extended Warranty (should this be offered with your product), please ensure you complete the Extended Warranty registration form that was emailed to you.
Warranty claims within the warranty period are underpinned by the manufacturer. With any extended warranty claims - Yorkshire AV act as your agent to the authorised repair centre.
Shipping charges are excluded from any warranty claim. Original packaging and receipts must be provided else the claim will be rejected.
For any questions or issues - please contact us directly.
