Shielded Speaker Cables
SUPRA shielded cables radiate and pick-up less noise. The result is immediately lowered noise floor and increased dynamics of the Hi-Fi system. Especially the so called µ-dynamics, the small details, suddenly stand out from a pitch black background, a truly remarkable discovery for most music lovers.
The modern multimedia system is a potential hotbed for noise pick-up and signal degradation and without attention, the most prestigious Hi-Fi system will not even come close to its peak performance. It is as simple as that.
Secondly, we must consider how magnetic fields, alternating electrical fields, electromagnetic (radio-) waves, etc affect us. Whenever possible, we at SUPRA think it is worthwhile to consider lowest possible levels of fields and radiations surrounding us.SUPRA shielded cables radiate and pick-up less noise.
Demoing the Difference
Unlike some audio products, benefits of SUPRA PLY are readily shown by repeatable measurements. Fig.1 using a swept sine wave shows progressively increasing losses >1kHz for all cables, caused by L & skin effect, ranging to 10dB at 20kHz - ultrasonic sounds do matter [3] ! Ply’s low-loss behaviour for hf audio (incl. bass transients), is evident. Fig. 2 are time domain ’scope pics, showing typical dynamic/damping differences with a square wave. After transients, SUPRA’s Ply restrains the peaking & accelerates the signal’s return to 0 volts at the speaker end. Peaking in wide spaced cable shows limp damping & hf loss, because it has high L & low C, the opposite of what’s required to drive most speakers.
