HBC-MS-5000LDR (L type DIN 5pin → RCA)

Angled L-type DIN phono cable for precise tonearm cable routing.

The HBC-MS-5000LDR provides an elegant solution for high-end turntable systems requiring a right-angle connection at the tonearm base. By maintaining the identical internal geometry and conductor materials as the flagship 5000DR, this cable ensures that convenience never comes at the expense of sonic performance. The cable utilises a sophisticated hybrid of 6N copper and oxygen-free copper, shielded by a dense polyurethane litz wire layer. This ensures that even with the change in connector orientation, the cable remains resilient against mechanical vibration and external electromagnetic interference, maintaining a pristine signal path. In terms of presentation, the LDR model retains the signature balance of its straight-connector sibling. Listeners can expect a natural, high-density sound characterised by exceptional focus and a remarkably low noise floor. It serves as an essential, high-quality conduit for those whose equipment layout demands the specific utility of an L-type interface.

Key Features

01

L-type DIN connector

Features a right-angle DIN connection to facilitate neat cable routing in compact turntable installations.

02

Hybrid conductor geometry

Blends 6N copper and OFC materials for a balanced, high-density sonic profile.

03

Rhodium-plated terminals

Precision-machined RCA connectors are rhodium-plated to ensure a stable, corrosion-resistant interface.

04

Advanced shielding

Constructed with a dense polyurethane litz wire shield to isolate the signal from environmental noise.

Manufacturing Process

The HBC-MS-5000LDR is crafted to the exacting standards of Ikeda Sound Labs, with each unit undergoing rigorous quality control. The aluminium alloy connector housings are precision-machined to provide a secure fit, ensuring that the L-type DIN interface maintains the same mechanical stability as a straight configuration.
