Together with U-NICA security systems, Neutrik developed a unique hologram technology (Intragram). The hologram in the form of the Neutrik logo and the Neutrik writing can now be found on selected Neutrik products, allowing users to easily identify if they are using an original Neutrik product.
"Holograms are not new technology, but the Intragram hologram process is", the company says. "Injection moulded plastic products can now be protected permanently by this integrated security feature. While conventional holograms on plastic are simply put on the surface as a sticker, the patented Intragram technology is integrated directly into the injection moulding die and is intrinsically tied to the original production process. Due to the high complexity of the tooling insert the counterfeit protection is permanently secured. Neutrik original products can be easily verified by the characteristic colour change of the Intragram hologram and is visible to the naked eye."
"Our simple wish is to provide our customers with maximum product security. Therefore we will work on raising the user's awareness of the risks and pitfalls which can occur by the use of inferior product copies," say Neutrik.
The Neutrik products which are labelled with the Intragram technology are the XLR XX-series and convertCON, Speakon NL4MP- and NL4FC-series, Combo A-series, and PowerCon NAC3FC-Series.
