Frontier is Rolling Force’s new ultra-flagship cable created for its fifth anniversary, and our latest answer to the “limits of sound.” It is not an extension of Cosmos, but a challenge starting from zero — re-examining the relationship between materials, structure, and trade-offs, and pushing sonic completeness to new boundaries without compromise.
The Boundary Universe of Deep Starry Blue
This dim blue originates from the faint light left by distant stars after traveling across time and space. It is understated yet full of depth. However, blue has always been difficult to control — too bright becomes cold, too dark loses its layers. Through repeated adjustments, we achieved a balance between light and darkness, in order to capture that trace of deep blue resembling the edge of the universe.
Heading into Deep Space
The splitter design draws visual inspiration from a colonization spacecraft, using a central axis with radial module expansion as its design language.
The Newly Evolved Secondary Treatment of the Outer Skin
Inspired by deep space imagery with blue and purple tones, we personally adjusted the color multiple times at the factory. Different sizes and types of glitter were used to simulate star-like effects, achieving a low-profile yet vivid appearance with varying reflections from different angles.
Excellent touch feeling
durability, Violet continues to utilize a custom SoftFlex PVC outer sheath, specially made in the USA. This material offers an unparalleled sense of quality and resilience, far surpassing that of conventional PVC.
Multi-diameter wire technology and S-Z Multi Structure Litz - Type 2 Coaxial with Spiral Shielding
S-Z Multi Structure Litz - Type 2 Coaxial with Spiral Shielding
We employs an advanced Litz structure in its core to minimize skin effect and proximity effect. Unlike traditional Litz Type 2 cables, Violet features a higher number of bundles woven in a counter-twisting (S-Z) configuration. This design incorporates a central core for additional support, creating a coaxial structure. The intricate counter-twisted arrangement significantly enhances micro-detail retrieval, bass response, and dynamic range.
Multi-Diameter Wire Technology
The central core leverages innovative multi-diameter wire technology, an advanced tuning concept. This approach capitalizes on the natural distribution of high and low frequencies across different conductor surfaces. By combining wires of varying diameters and materials, the cable precisely controls transmission timing and sound characteristics, achieving a refined and balanced audio signature.
Single-Layer Spiral Independent Shielding
For shielding, Violet continues to push boundaries with a single-layer spiral shielding structure. This independent shielding layer minimizes external interference to ensure signal purity. Each of the four Litz bundles is individually wrapped in a specialized foam material sourced from Japan. This is then enveloped by a 5N silver-plated LC-OFC shielding layer made in Taiwan, which connects to the ground pin of the 4.4mm plug for active shielding. This meticulous design results in extraordinary transparency and clarity in sound.
Pragmatic Elegance in Packaging Design
This time, we adopt a minimalist “box-in-box” packaging design. In addition to an improved storage case, printed materials matching the theme are included, presenting a practical yet ceremonial experience befitting its ultra-flagship status.
Along with the storage case, an earphone protective pouch and cable organizer are included, offering both practicality and aesthetics.
Expanding the Boundary, Releasing the Sound
Frontier adopts a different system-level thinking in both conductor and structural design. The main core incorporates both gold–silver–platinum alloy and gold–silver–platinum–palladium alloy, allowing a stable sonic backbone and a layer of speed and detail to coexist within the same structure without replacing one another.
