OYAIDE SGSL Y Lug for Audio Speakers (Set of 4)

Made of domestically produced non-magnetic brass (RoHS compliant) that does not contain lead or iron, the tip is rolled from a round bar with a diameter of 15 mm. Oyaide Denki's "SPSL" Y rug was punched and bent using a special mold, and was created using an overwhelming amount of material. "SGSL", which is made of pure silver and thick 24K gold plating, is now added to the lineup.

Achieves durable Y lugs while combining the benefits of gold-plated plugs and silver-plated plugs that never existed before.

In order to find a new plating combination suitable for this speaker terminal connection plug, development began two years ago with the cooperation of a plating factory. Based on thick 24K gold plating, we have produced more than 10 types of prototypes by changing the combination of plating materials and the thickness of each plating. After repeated comparative listening tests, we selected sterling silver + thick 24K gold plating, which yielded the best results in terms of sound quality and durability, and we took advantage of the long-term stability that gold plating provides and the good phase characteristics of the mid-range range. While taking full advantage of this, we have exquisitely tuned and upgraded it by applying silver plating to the base to extend the high range.

The Oyaide style can be seen even in its shape, with its simple and well-honed design and carefully selected details. The tip insertion part has a two-tiered shape of 6mm and 8mm to fit a wide range of speaker terminals. In order to securely clamp the cable conductor, a high-rigidity stainless steel set screw with a diameter of 5 mm is used for the cable insertion diameter (4 mm). This maximizes the contact area without letting the strands of the cable conductor escape, ensuring a perfect connection.

The main body is carefully buffed one by one by hand and given a mirror surface finish. The perfectly polished body is plated twice with pure silver and thick 24K gold plating, and together with the blue screw, it gives the SGSL a high-quality and elegant look.

【Features】
Material/Structure/Processing
The base material is RoHS-compliant domestic brass that does not contain lead or iron. The tip is rolled from a round bar with a diameter of 15 mm, and then punched and bent using a special mold. The tip insertion part has a two-tiered shape of 6mm and 8mm to fit a wide range of speaker terminals.
The maximum applicable cable diameter is set to 5.5sq, and the 4mm diameter cable joint is counterbored using CNC machining to complete the base shape of "SGSL". Furthermore, in order to remove the stress and strain caused by machining, it is heat-treated over time in a low-temperature furnace.
The heat-treated body is mechanically barrel-polished, and then buffed one by one by a polishing craftsman. There is no other example of this two-step polishing process being applied to audio equipment.
“SGSL” is also made with Oyaide-like consideration when joining cables, and the cable insertion part, which is designed to accommodate a maximum cable diameter of 4 mm (5.5 sq), is tapered to make it easier to insert the stranded wire into the main body. did.
The connection method uses a dual screw clamp method. Two screws ensure reliable contact and fixation between the cable and the main body. Furthermore, we pay special attention to the screw part used to secure the cable. A high-rigidity stainless steel set screw with a diameter of 5 mm is used for the cable penetration part with a diameter of 4 mm. This eliminates the gap between the main body and the screw part, ensuring maximum contact area.
plating
The mirror-finished main body is plated with pure silver and then finished with thick 24K gold plating.
In general, gold plating has smooth characteristics from low to mid-high range, but the extension in the high range may feel a little lacking. "SGSL" takes advantage of the long-term stability provided by gold plating and the good phase characteristics of the neutral mid-range range, and is exquisitely tuned by applying silver plating to the base to extend the high range.
In addition, to confirm the stability of the new plating combination, we passed a continuous use test for more than one and a half years, ensuring complete reliability. Typical gold-plated terminals use magnetic electrolytic nickel plating as the base to prevent corrosion, but the gold plating of Oyaide products prevents sound quality deterioration by eliminating electrolytic nickel.
Mirror finish and direct plating. It has to be made because it is simple. Here too, Oyaide Denki's philosophy and craftsmanship are condensed. The pride of being "Made in Japan". "SGSL" is proof of highly refined Japanese craftsmanship.

New pure silver plating base + thick 24k gold plating finish
While taking advantage of the long-term stability provided by gold plating and the good phase characteristics of the neutral mid-range range, we also applied silver plating to the base to extend the high range, resulting in exquisite tuning.
Two-stage shape of 6mm and 8mm to fit a wide range of speaker terminals.
A high-rigidity blue stainless steel set screw with a diameter of 5 mm is used for the cable penetration part with a diameter of 4 mm. This eliminates the gap between the main body and the screw part, and ensures reliable contact and fixation between the cable and the main body using two screws.
The tip is rolled from a phosphor bronze round bar with a diameter of 15 mm, and then punched and bent using a special mold.
After being mechanically barrel polished, each piece is manually buffed to a mirror finish.
