Audio-Technica HDC114A/1.2 Audiophile Headphone Cable

Balanced 4.4mm Replacement Cable for Audiophile Headphones

The Audio-Technica HDC114A/1.2 is a high-performance 1.2-meter headphone cable designed to maximize audio fidelity and connection integrity for select headphones using A2DC connectors. Featuring a 4.4mm gold-plated balanced plug and a low-noise conductor layout, this cable supports wide dynamic range and channel separation critical for high-resolution playback. Whether used for critical listening, high-end music streaming, or pairing with balanced headphone amplifiers, this cable delivers stable signal transmission and clear, detailed sound.

Built for Balanced Audio Signal and Low Interference

This audiophile-grade cable is engineered for balanced connections using a 4.4mm 5-pole plug, commonly used in high-end portable and desktop headphone amplifiers. Balanced wiring reduces cross-talk and electrical interference between channels, allowing for improved separation, lower noise floor, and more immersive stereo imaging. It's an ideal upgrade for listeners who want to extract every bit of performance from their hi-fi setup or DAC.

Precision Conductors Enhance Signal Transparency and Dynamics

The internal conductor arrangement is specifically tuned to support accurate signal reproduction when paired with compatible Audio-Technica headphones. Its custom conductor composition maintains clarity across the frequency spectrum, supporting fast transients, extended highs, and clean low-frequency response. Whether you're streaming studio masters or listening to lossless files, the HDC114A/1.2 ensures the signal remains uncompromised from source to driver.

A2DC Connectors Provide Secure and Consistent Fit

Designed for use with Audio-Technica headphones equipped with A2DC jacks, this cable connects securely and resists loosening during use. A2DC (Audio Designed Detachable Coaxial) connectors are known for their low-resistance signal path and reinforced design, giving the listener confidence in long-term connection stability and minimizing degradation caused by repeated use.

Compact Right-Angle Plug Fits Professional and Portable Setups

The gold-plated 4.4mm L-type balanced plug is ideal for portable digital audio players, balanced output DACs, and headphone amplifiers. Its right-angle design keeps cable routing neat and reduces mechanical strain on the port, making it a practical option for both stationary and on-the-go listening environments.

Perfect Cable Upgrade for High-Resolution Headphone Listening

For users of high-resolution audio gear, the HDC114A/1.2 offers the construction quality and signal integrity required for audiophile listening. With its short 1.2m length, it's ideal for desktop setups, personal audio rigs, and portable high-fidelity systems where excess cable slack is unnecessary. This is a cable purpose-built for critical music appreciation with reduced coloration and accurate channel balance.

Compatible with Audio-Technica Headphones Using A2DC Jacks

The HDC114A/1.2 is compatible with Audio-Technica headphone models that use the A2DC connection system. It pairs well with high-end over-ear models from Audio-Technica’s audiophile lineup and is suited for those looking to enhance detail, balance, and noise rejection in their headphone signal chain.
