At the heart of a Cardas cable is Our Ultra-Pure Cardas Copper.
Mined in the Southwest USA and processed in the Northeast, we employ proprietary drawing and annealing techniques to create the highest quality, purest copper strands. A Single Poly-Nylon coating is applied to prevent oxidation and eliminate crosstalk between strands
The basic building blocks of a Cardas cable have been constant since day one: Our own, Ultra-Pure Copper, produced using our proprietary method. Multi-stranded Litz conductors, with strand size varying in Golden Ratio steps. Top quality dielectric materials and innovative air-tube dielectric suspension techniques. Premium connectors machined from copper & brass, plated with silver, and a flash of rhodium. Terminations performed by skilled craftsmen, using Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder and Cardas Rosin Flux Soldering Paste. These design elements were present in the original Cardas cables, like Quadlink & Hexlink, and former flagships such as Golden Cross & Golden Reference.
Performance
Neutral with a hint of warmth on top. Very transparent for a cable of this price range. Excellent blend of warm midrange with extended bass and treble. This is the runaway favorite for best value in cables. Performs at levels more than twice its price.
Standard Terminations: Cardas GRMO RCA or Neutrik XLR.
Design/Construction
Conductors: Kevlar core, Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen free copper with SPN clear coat (Litz), gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions. Braided cross-field layer geometry, insulated in FEP tape wrapped jacket. Geometry: Shielded twisted pair with poly-e air-tubes bound with carbon impregnated FEP tape wrap. Outer layer uses compressed poly-e air-tubes to suspend the tin-plated copper braided shield and outer extruded alcryn rubber jacket away from the conductors.
Gauge: 2×23.5 AWG, Outside Diameter: 0.360”/9.14mm
Warranty
All factory terminated cables come with our unmatched, transferable, Lifetime Warranty.
