Quality You Can Trust
Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.

Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon boosts detail while adding bottom-end weight delivering a lush, but not laid-back, sound. Silver-plated copper conductors increase clarity and resolution while providing a bump in warmth and fullness. It's a good choice for V-shaped IEMs or bass-light IEMs, adding musicality and warmth while balancing out the higher frequencies and tightening up the bottom end. The detail and expansiveness of the Black Dragon IEM V2 cable make it a flexible fit where a broad range of musical genres are played.

Black Dragon Cable Design
The Black Dragon IEM Cable is built with the finest materials and craftsmanship to unveil your music. It strays away from traditional design practices of using UP-OCC silver or copper conductors and features a specific ratio of 15-18% silver plating. Typically, silver plating on a normal audio cable is about half a percent but the Black Dragon's heavy silver plating serves a purpose. This specific ratio enhances the sonic attributes and characteristics of the Black Dragon to its maximum potential.
With some audio cables, adding silver-plated copper can make it sound harsh in the top frequency range. This is NOT the case with our Black Dragon as the heavy silver plating provides a very smooth, detailed top end with a great sense of presentation. Designed for 2-pin and 4-pin IEMs, the Black Dragon features a 45-degree angle on the lead. This effectively wraps the cable up and around your ear for more comfort and better sound.

Premolded Cable Options
We offer three standard audio cable connector options, a 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm balanced, and 4.4mm balanced. These connectors are available premolded, built with durability to last.
- 3.5mm straight or right angle 3 pole stereo single-ended connection for use with most common portable devices
- 2.5mm balanced 4 pole gold straight mini plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern players, RAL players & ALO amps. The entire body is molded to prevent the face of the connector to short to the chassis ground. This will eliminate issues of ground shorts.
- 4.4mm balanced 5-pole gold straight plug for use with the balanced output of the Astell&Kern, Sony, and iBasso Digital Audio Players.
Both of the 3.5mm connectors have extended necks to vanquish most portable devices that have a deep connector socket hole. Premolded connections are available for immediate shipment, but we also offer custom termination options!
Custom Amplifier Connections
In addition to our premolded options, we also carry a wide array of premium amplifier connectors.
Feel free to reach out if you don't see the connector you need listed. We might just have it!
Connecting Your Dragon IEM Cable
- R: Right Channel
- L: Left Channel
- Cable should always curve up from the connector
With the curve of the cable pointing upward, slide the connector with an "R" marking straight into the right IEM until flush with the shell. Repeat with the "L" marking and the left IEM.
