Know before you buy
The bi-wire design uses separate conductors for the treble and bass frequencies. By isolating these signals, the cable reduces interference and allows your speakers to handle high and low frequencies more efficiently, resulting in a cleaner, more stable soundstage.
Solder-free connections, using high-pressure crimping or set screws, prevent the signal degradation that can sometimes occur with solder joints. This method ensures a more direct, durable electrical path that maintains the integrity of the signal over time.
The Alpha Process is a specialized cryogenic and demagnetizing treatment developed by Furutech. It treats the metallic components to improve conductivity, which helps the cable deliver better dynamics and a more refined audio performance.
These cables are designed for speakers that support bi-wiring or bi-amping, meaning the speaker must have separate terminals for the high and low-frequency drivers. If your speakers only have a single pair of terminals, these cables will not be compatible.
Despite the robust 13 AWG conductors and high-quality shielding, the cable uses a flexible PVC jacket. It is designed to be manageable for standard home audio setups, though it is thicker than entry-level cables due to its 11.0 mm diameter.
