ALT ONEARTH EARTH GROUNDING CABLE

The Alt OnEarth version of the Earth Grounding cable is designed for supplying an optimised ground source to CFM OnEarth upgraded version cables by connecting to a suitable ground position on the body of the audio equipment, such as the chassis, input, or output connectors.

It can be customised for various ground connection needs, for equipment’s chassis with a spade, a ring or a banana connector or for any signal input or output connector with an RCA or a XLR connector.

MEGA EARTH GROUNDING SYSTEM

The CFM Mega Earth Grounding System is a masterpiece of integrated six independent groups of ground cables. It has been specially designed to help you set up your audio equipment and CFM OnEarth upgraded version cables so that it performs with the best possible optimal grounding capabilities, ensuring unbeatable sound performance. The standard system includes a Mega Earth Grounding Cable, a Mega Earth Grounding Distributor and three standard 2-ground-cable kits of different regular lengths wired with pure copper, GC2-50Cu (50cm long), GC2-75Cu (75 cm) and GC2-100Cu (100cm). The advanced pure silver wire version GC2-50Ag (50cm long), GC2-75Ag (75 cm) and GC2-100Ag (100cm) are also available allowing you to flexibly configure ground cables and pure copper or pure silver wire version connector adapters to suit your specific audio setup of up to 3 audio equipment or 6 of our CFM OnEarth upgraded version cables or their mixed combinations.

The Mega Earth Grounding Cable is precisely built and calibrated using our patented Optimised Shielding Plus technology, OS +. It is the most cost-effective way to provide vastly superior optimised earth grounding for your entire audio system that allows you to individually customise totally up to six ground cable kits of different lengths. Each kit of either pure copper or pure silver version can support up to four grounding optimisation connections of the same length and different termination connector adapters. As a result, the full configuration provides comprehensive optimised grounding capabilities for up to six pieces of audio equipment or 24 of our CFM OnEarth cables or their mixed combinations for different optimal grounding requirements when used with the Mega Earth Grounding Distributor.

The Distributor is available in two options, either the standard MD-1Cu or the advanced MD-1Ag version wired with pure copper wire or pure silver wire respectively.

DIRECTIONS OF USE: 

  • The Mega Earth Grounding Cable is equipped with six groups of independent grounding wires in one cable, connecting to all electric sockets with standard power specifications. The power plug is connected to the grounding position only, and the live wire and the neutral wire are not connected so as to ensure the safest possible usage. 
  • The MD-1Cu / MD-1Ag ​​Mega Earth Grounding Distributor is specially designed to connect with the CFM Mega Earth Grounding Cable. Do not try to connect it with other cables or devices. 
  • MD-1Cu / MD-1Ag provide individual optimal grounding for up to 6 pieces of audio equipment or up to 24 of the upgraded versions of CFM OnEarth audio cables or their mixed combinations, and the utmost flexibility for grounding optimisation connectivity. 
  • MD-1Cu / MD-1Ag provides independent ground distribution for up to six ground cable kits, and each group can support up to four individual grounding optimisation connections. 
  • When connecting your audio equipment for optimal grounding, a single group of ground cables is designated to connect each individual piece of audio equipment. We do not recommend connecting each piece of equipment with two or more groups of ground cables. 
  • We do not recommend connecting your audio equipment and the OnEarth upgraded version cables with an individual group of ground cables at the same time, so as to avoid interference from the grounding characteristics of the audio equipment.  
  • Each group can be connected to up to four CFM upgraded OnEarth cables. To reduce mutual interference among different types of cables, the best practice is to connect the same type of OnEarth upgraded version cables with an individual group of ground cables. 
  • The supplied wooden blocks are used for supporting the Mega Earth Grounding Cable body. As they are specially treated with the same proprietary technology for the cables, they help maximize the effectiveness of the Mega Earth Grounding Cable to provide the best possible audio performance. The wooden blocks should be placed underneath the cable, with the CFM logo the right way up and not upside down. 
  • A wooden block is also used for supporting the Mega Earth Grounding Distributor. We recommend placing the block in the designated position underneath the Mega Earth Grounding Distributor, again ensuring that the CFM logo is the right way up in order to achieve the best possible audio performance. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

1. How do you use the spade and RCA connectors on the audio equipment for optimal grounding? 

The simplest way to use the spade connector for the ground connection is to connect it to the ground position on the chassis of your audio equipment. As the tightness of the knob will affect the grounding performance, be careful not to turn the knob too tightly. For connecting the RCA connector to your equipment, depending on the type of audio equipment you own, you can choose to connect to either the idle signal input or output terminals, such as with a pre-amplifier or an integrated amplifier. However, if the option is available to you, we do recommend using the input terminals. For a CD player or DAC, we recommend connecting to an output terminal, but not to the digital input or output RCA terminals, because these are generally not connected to the grounding position of the equipment. 

2. Why is the standard Earth Grounding Cable always terminated with only one RCA connector instead of two for the grounding optimisation of a piece of audio equipment? 

Most audio equipment is designed with a single circuit board for two-channel amplifications that share the same common ground. As such, using an RCA connector when connecting to the circuit board’s common ground position can help you achieve the best grounding optimisation performance for both channels. Or else, that cannot fulfil the star-grounding principal and may cause earth grounding deterioration to the connected circuits.  However, most high-end audio equipment is designed with dual mono circuits, and they have their own ground references on individual circuit boards. Therefore, the best grounding optimisation method is to configure two RCA connectors to connect the left and right channels of the same input. 

3. How do you decide whether to connect to the left or right channel terminal in order to get the best grounding optimisation performance? 

  • When using one RCA connector for the grounding optimisation connection (such as a regular pre-amplifier.) 

One way to figure out which channel to use is by preparing some music tracks for testing purposes. We recommend selecting live recordings that have apparent soundstage performance, such as symphonic music or live concerts.* If there is more than one idle RCA input, connect the RCA connector to one of the left channel inputs first. Then compare it to all the other idle RCA left channels, and try and identify the best performing left channel input. The next step is to then compare this to the right channel of the same input. This will help you locate the best performing channel for the grounding optimisation of your audio equipment. 

  • When using two RCA connectors for the grounding optimisation connection (such as a high-end pre-amplifier with dual mono amplifications design.) 


If you are using two RCA customised ground connections for two channels of the same input, we suggest testing the grounding optimisation performance by exchanging the connections of the two RCA connectors on the same input after identifying the best performing input as described above. 

4. How do you decide the best performing grounding optimisation results? 

When the audio signal is properly processed and amplified by your audio equipment the details of the signal will be more accurately restored and the soundstage much clearer. Therefore, by identifying the best sound field performance, you can then use this as the testing standard to ascertain the best grounding optimisation results for your audio system. 

 * Generally, we do not recommend using vocal music or music with heavy bass as the test reference standard because these types of music are more likely to be affected by personal preferences or bias that may alter accurate judgement.
