Transparent Reference and XL Speaker Cables

Reference Speaker Cable
Reference Speaker Cable is a significant performance upgrade compared to Ultra Speaker Cable because its networks components are more precisely matched to the cable’s inherent electrical properties and length. In addition, Reference level cables are the first products in the Transparent family to be custom calibrated for the specific electrical output characteristics of your components. REFERENCE Speaker Cable delivers deeper, tighter bass frequencies and transfers music with more refinement than ULTRA Speaker Cable.

Reference Speaker Cable is available in 2 versions: High Z for high output impedance and Low Z for low output impedance amplifiers, but the customization doesn’t stop there. Connector configurations and polarity to fit precisely and easily with your specific amplifier, speakers, and system layout. 

The elegant carbon fiber composite network carapace on each channel allows electromagnetic fields to expand fully and freely. The thin and stiff-walled CFC network carapaces accommodate a greater mass of epoxy resin to reduce resonance and vibrations to a much greater degree than ULTRA Speaker Cable. Isolation feet stabilize the custom-machined acrylic carapace platform to reduce resonances, and the acrylic platform fasteners bore deeply into the epoxy resin-loaded carapace to further reduce the effects of resonances and vibrations. 

Reference Speaker is upgradeable to XL, OPUS, or MAGNUM OPUS Speaker Cable.

XL Speaker Cable
XL Speaker Cable is a significant performance upgrade compared to Reference Speaker Cable because its network components are specifically chosen and matched more closely to suit the electrical characteristics of the cable and its length. The network itself is also calibrated more precisely to the electrical output characteristics of your amplifier. The heavier, larger, more stable XL network module more effectively damps any opportunity for resonances to affect performance. Compared to Reference, XL transfers bass energy further down into the bottom octave with more accuracy and creates a quieter interface between some of the most challenging speaker and amplifier combinations.

Custom machined, highly polished gold-plated, tellurium copper spade lugs transfer power effortlessly through heavy, precision-wound OFHC stranding. New, robust cable construction allows XL Speaker Cable to more closely approach OPUS Speaker Cable performance. Elegant carbon fiber composite network carapaces allow electromagnetic fields to expand fully and freely. The thin and stiff-walled CFC network carapace also accommodates a greater mass of epoxy resin to reduce resonance and vibrations. A thick carbon fiber sheet embedded in epoxy resin stiffens and damps vibrations in the custom-machined acrylic carapace platform, and isolation feet stabilize the carapace platform and reduce resonances and vibrational interference. Platform fasteners bore deeply into the carapace at a specific torque setting to further reduce the effects of resonances and vibrations.

XL Speaker Cable is upgradeable to OPUS or MAGNUM OPUS Speaker Cable.
