Bifilar-wound litz 5N OFC conductors, twisted and shielded for minimal interference, PE insulation, CNC-milled cable splitter with ground connection, XL-Annorum earth conductor, solid copper rhodium-plated connectors. The Supra CombiCon CB03-EX crimp bodies are specially designed for Excalibur, and each conductor is twisted into the crimp body for maximum bending strength. The uninsulated litz wires are crimped mechanically for a perfect and airtight cable connection. The connector body has a Supra M6 thread, which allows the user choice of interchangeable rhodium-plated Supra spades or banana/BFA pins. The ground connections are by 30cm long, Supra XL-Annorum conductors, and use specially adapted, rhodium-plated Supra CombiCon connectors.
In the past, we modestly claimed that our original Sword was one of the best cables available, regardless of price or manufacturer. Sword Excalibur takes a few more steps towards total transparency, still the only words that properly describe this patented high-end speaker cable.
The secret? The bifilar-wound litz conductors comprise 24 individually insulated strands per conductor, 12 wound in one direction, the remaining 12 in the opposite, resulting in magnetic field cancellation and very low inductance. Further, this reduces any possible dynamic skin-effect. Sword Excalibur behaves as a low inductance cable whilst maintaining phase throughout the entire audible frequency range resulting in minimal insertion loss between amplifier and loudspeaker. The only thing not cancelled is the SOUND, allowing you to hear every nuance of the MUSIC, in it’s full dynamic glory.
Earth/Screen connection.
The earth conductor should be connected in the source end only (amplifier side).
- Negative speaker out terminal
- Earth terminal at the amp (not available on all amps)
- Connect to any of the amp chassis screws.
