If you are using Balanced XLR interconnects I can get you what you need at very reasonable cost.

interconnects specifically for speaker drivers
I have an active x-over that has seperate channels for the tweeter, midrange and woofers and hence I need 3 pairs of interconnects. In experimenting with different interconnects I can tell there strenghts and weaknesses as I try them on the different drivers. As you can imagine a interconnect that is warm souding is not great on the woofers. What I would like to do is get 3 sets custom made or use a vendor that has a range of models. This way each set can be optimized - highend smooth and silky; midrange lush and rich; lowend tight and accurate. Any advice on the approach for doing this or recommendations on people or manufacturers would be great. Thanks.

Offhand, I know of no company that makes cables specifically for certain frequencies. As Rrog has asked, coherency would be off the table. All companies go for the all-in-one approach. Usually they have different levels of improvement in their lines, which is one way you can go. Is it necessary to go balanced? I only ask because if you come across an IC that really works for you but is somewhat reticent, say, in the lower mids and bass, you could bi-wire just that one area with the same type wire to see if it helps any. Set aside some time for trial and error. There are several companies that give you 30 day return offers. Try to ask for wires that are already broken in and order several at the same time from the same and other vendors and be prepared to drive yourself crazy for a weekend or two.

I looked up these options but I don't know how good they are: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-JaF5nernMxT/p_142AMYC/EFX-Y-adapter.html http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=118&sku=40650# Hope it helps. All the best, Nonoise |
I would call Pro Audio LA and have them make you some custom Mogami 1 into 3 interconnect cables. You can have them put on what ever connectors you want on them (I had them use Neutrik Pro-Fi connectors on mine). Try to get as close as possible to the Mogami 2549 specs for unbalanced RCA, which follows: Specifications: No. of Conductor: 2 Conductor:Details: 30/0.08 OFCSize(mm(2)): 0.339mm(2) (#22 AWG) Insulation:Ov. Dia.(mm): 1.9 diameter (0.075")Material: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)Colors: Blue / Clear Shield: Served Approx. 64/0.18A Jacket:Ov.

Microphonics at 50KW Load**: 30m V Max. Voltage Breakdown: Must withstand at DC 125V/15sec. Insulation Resistance: 100000 M W m Min. at DC 125V, 20C Flex Life**: 14,500 cycles Tensile Strength: 657N Emigration: Non-emigrant to ABS Applicable Temperature: -20C~ +70C(-4F~ +158F) If you need to go balanced, use Mogami 2534 or whatever is closest for the 1 into 3 split. |
