The fundamental cable design consists of several individually-insulated multi-strand silver-plated copper conductors of varying diameters enclosed in a tin-plated copper shield. This is all enclosed in a soft outer jacket which facilitates easy installation whilst minimising microphonic interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach signal, return, ground and shield conductor is individually manufactured for its specific function. The ground conductor references the audio band waveform, mirroring the internal design of Naim Audio electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo optimise performance and ensure consistency the directionality of the cables is controlled at every point of manufacture. Each diameter wire is matched after extrusion so that every conductor within the cable has the same directionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Super Lumina cable is hand-assembled at Naim Audio in Salisbury to the customer’s specification of length and termination and goes through a proprietary de-stressing process to relieve the materials of the inherent stresses which are a result of the manufacturing process. This means the cables reach optimum performance with minimal run in time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpeaker cable also available with 4mm and spade connectors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Naim Audio","offers":[{"title":"Banana Plugs \/ 3.0m","offer_id":57957896225155,"sku":"15760","price":2097.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Banana Plugs \/ 4.0m","offer_id":57957896257923,"sku":"16774","price":2796.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Banana Plugs \/ 5.0m","offer_id":57957896290691,"sku":"16775","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spade Plugs \/ 1.0m","offer_id":57957896323459,"sku":"2258","price":699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Spade Plugs \/ 3.0m","offer_id":57957896356227,"sku":"15759","price":2097.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/15760-1NaimSuperLuminaSpeakerCableMainSoundcraftHiFi.jpg?v=1777724610"},{"product_id":"quiescent-peak-speaker-cable-2-2-factory-terminated-pair","title":"Quiescent Peak Speaker Cable (2-2 Factory Terminated Pair)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuiescent’s Peak low noise speaker cables are capable of bringing astonishing clarity to any system, dramatically improving the audio experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the knowledge gained over the last 25 years, our engineers re-evaluated the effects of electromagnetic interference on radio frequency propagation along cables.

Traditional decoupling techniques used in the DC to low frequency (1Hz to 100KHz) are ineffective at dealing with this noise due to impedance mismatches along the transmission line. Secondly, a speaker has been designed to mechanically vibrate the air, which is the sound we hear. Speaker manufacturers spend much time minimising vibration resonance in the cabinet to ensure that the drivers’ sounds are emitted correctly from the front and not absorbed or reflected from the cabinet itself. Equipment stand manufacturers and makers of equipment supports or cones have devised solutions to minimise the vibration going into our electronics from the air or floor. The issue we identified more than 20 years ago is that the single most effective conductor of this vibration is the speaker cable itself. A speaker sends large amounts of this vibration into the electronics, causing microphonic-generated noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first speaker cable, we developed the Moncayo module, which was an integral part of the module and used an absorption labyrinth to dissipate some of this RF energy into a matched load. It also absorbed the vibration transmitted through the speaker cable to minimise the amount the electronics receive. Our Hi-Rez Moncayo took this a step further, being the first Vertex product that included EMI\/RFI tubing along the length of the cables. As described in the technology discussion on the Peak Speaker Module, the problems with the Moncayo were associated with usability and flexibility. Therefore, we developed the modular cable systems that are the basis of our mains and speaker cables in the Quiescent portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst many manufacturers focus on signal conductivity, the Apex uses methods to control the propagation of the damaging electrical and mechanical oscillation transmitted along the length of the cable. A key design consideration was to use filtering strategies that do not interfere with or damage the musical signal in any way while ensuring that any unwanted noise is eradicated, providing superior performance. The Quiescent ultra-wideband, multi-phase filter is the culmination of our research, and it is so small that you wouldn’t even know it is there. The only indication of its presence is an improved audio experience overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing twin 1.25mm solid silver conductors may seem over-engineered to carry current to the speakers. Our prime objective is to create an extremely low impedance path for noise to be transferred efficiently away from the power amplifier. Deployed with the Peak Speaker Modules, the speaker cable becomes a highly efficient high-frequency impedance-matched load with high return loss over a wide band. Whilst traditional audio engineers will tell you that ultra high-frequency waves are unimportant, they do not understand that these standing waves modulate with the musical signal, damaging important phase information and other artefacts of the musical signal. This effect can be heard as a lack of a three-dimensional soundstage (or flat and kept within the speakers) and perceived distortion of certain mid-band and high-frequency notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important characteristic of all our cables is that we use conductors threaded through a Teflon™ air tube, ensuring that cable capacitance is incredibly low. This means that the signal’s time domain, as sent to the speaker, undergoes very little phase change, and the music heard has a wider soundstage with improved perceived forward and back presentation. The cores in their air dielectric are threaded into our proprietary EMI absorbing sheath and finally into a braiding with very low acoustic transmission properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all this attention to detail and manufacture, the Apex speaker cables have an extremely low noise floor with a high transient current carrying capability, improving musicality, bass propulsion, and tonal accuracy way beyond that reached by others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApex ultra-low noise speaker cables are used for single-wire connection and constructed from four 1.25mm solid-core silver conductors terminated with WBT nextgen™ silver 8mm spades or WBT nextgen™ silver 4mm banana plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quiescent","offers":[{"title":"4mm Banana Plugs \/ 1.0m","offer_id":58028581945731,"sku":"16074","price":4050.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4mm Banana Plugs \/ 2.0m","offer_id":58028581978499,"sku":"16075","price":5650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4mm Banana Plugs \/ 2.5m","offer_id":58028582011267,"sku":"16076","price":6450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4mm Banana Plugs \/ 3.0m","offer_id":58028582044035,"sku":"16077","price":7260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm Spades \/ 1.0m","offer_id":58028582076803,"sku":"15429","price":4020.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm Spades \/ 2.0m","offer_id":58028582109571,"sku":"15430","price":5620.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm Spades \/ 2.5m","offer_id":58028582142339,"sku":"15603","price":6420.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8mm Spades \/ 3.0m","offer_id":58028582175107,"sku":"15431","price":7220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/15429-1QuiescentApexSpeakerCableMainSoundcraftHiFi.jpg?v=1778595439"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.soundcrafthifi.com\/collections\/speaker-cables.oembed","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
