The Black Octagon BOS1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Interconnect



The Black Octagon BOS1 Interconnect

          The very first cable to carry the BOS moniker, the BOS1 is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm interconnect. This was the cable that started it all for us but this would be the first time that we are officially introducing it to the market. Reason? We never got round to it to be honest and initially we thought it would be a limited production run. However the response from those who have purchased the cable has been nothing but positive so with some encouragement from our customers, we have decided to make it a permanent fixture in our line of cables.

          Employing a double copper shield like the BOS4, the BOS1 is paired together with Switchcraft 35HDBAU connectors and soldered with WBT4% Silver Solder. Known for being neutral in nature, some may find the BOS1 to be unforgiving within certain systems. Whereas in others, it can be that link which has always been missing. 

          As with all our cables, we believe copper is the best conductor overall and the BOS1 uses oxygen free copper for its two cores and the double shield.

Black Octagon Solutions - An Introduction


Here's How It All Started

          Where do I begin? I'd love to say that the company was born because two brilliant individuals decided to put their years in the audio industry to good use and improve on what was already out there but then it would be a blatant lie. Truth be told, this company was born at a regular "warung makan" in Kajang (in 2012) where two individuals with about 30 years in the industry between them were having a conversation about...well, nothing to be honest. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing where it was decided we should start a company.


          We got the necessary documentation. Went home, thought about a few names and my better half said why not go for shapes and a color? So after more mind-numbing thought, I said; "it shall be called...Silver Decagon!" Filled out the forms and back we went to get it registered. Well, the name was taken, can you believe that?! Silver Decagon?! Really?!! Well, we changed it on the spot to Black Octagon and the name was available so it stuck. 


          All that was about a year ago and it actually doesn't seem that far back which makes you think about how fast time flies. What do we actually do? Well, we got a small line of audio cables, a hi-fi repair service and we do sell some audio gear as well....yup, that's it...Ok Ok, there's more; On to the next post about Why We Did It (?) 



Cheap Cable Plug Below!! 


                           Black Octagon 1 meter RCA Interconnects




Musings... : Saying Cheap Cable Plug would probably get some people confused into thinking that the plugs and cable used for the Black Octagon RCA Interconnects are actually cheap...the Black Octagon RCA Interconnects go for RM150 for a 1 meter Stereo pair by the way...anyway...

Here's something I got from Yahoo! Answers: 

A "plug" is usually referred to as a form of advertisement or commercial comment. "Cheap" simply means the person saying it is getting his ad in free or very "Cheap"

Sigh...its no fun when you have to explain it...
