CLARUS MARK II BI-WIRE SPEAKER CABLES

Exceptional Detail, Dynamics & Tonal Balance

Bi-wire speaker cables are a two-conductor to four-conductor configuration where the two-conductor end connects to an amplifier output channel. The four-conductor end attaches one pair of connectors to a loudspeaker’s high-frequency input and the other pair to a loudspeaker’s low-frequency input.

Clarus bi-wire speaker cables use the purest available copper, extruded into three unique conductor geometries optimized for bass, midrange, and high-frequencies, and insulated to minimize inter-conductor interference. To optimize the signal path further, we orient the positive and negative conductors in a flat configuration that lowers inductance and eliminates phase distortion. Additionally, the large gauge of Clarus speaker cable conductors lowers the cable’s resistance making it easier for an amplifier to drive the loudspeakers. The result of this innovative topology? Open and transparent sound with exceptional clarity, detail, dynamics, and tonal balance.

Technology

The Purest Copper Available for the Purest Sound Possible

Clarus designs cables for discriminating audiophiles using the purist copper available. Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) uses a unique proprietary mold extrusion process that creates substantial lengths of single-crystal copper that is directional, free of impurities, flexible, corrosion-resistant, with low electrical resistance, and non-crystal boundaries that are structurally perfect

Conductor Geometry Optimized for the Full Audio Spectrum

Clarus cable engineering goes beyond mere wire gauge, utilizing independent designer, Jay Victor’s eight years of research and development of five patents to create bi-wire speaker cables that feature three distinct conductor types optimized for bass, midrange, and high-frequencies. 

Clarus uses solid, heavy-gauge, round conductors with a broad cross-sectional area to enhance the predominant path for low frequencies. An ultra-thin ribbon conductor wrapped around a non-conductive core to provide an ideal path for high frequencies. We optimize mid-range signals by using a wide, flat conductor. The flat design lacks the skin depth necessary to support low bass. At the same time, the insulated large surface area of the mid-range conductor de-emphasizes high frequencies, producing an accurate, silky-smooth audio mid-range. Mathematically balancing these three shapes into the design of a signal conductor provides musical clarity and tonal balance not available in conventional conductor designs.

Flat Design Eliminates Phase Distortion

Typical round speaker cables use positive and negative conductors twisted together. This common configuration causes phase distortion in audio signals that result in audible noise. The flat design used in all Clarus bi-wire speaker cables orients the positive and negative conductors in parallel, eliminating phase distortion, thereby improving sound quality and imaging.
