Know before you buy
The tri-braid design helps reject electromagnetic interference while maintaining a low-inductance path for the signal. This geometry is a signature of Kimber Kable, contributing to the cable's ability to deliver clear instrument separation and a stable soundstage.
The Timbre is a non-shielded design. While this is ideal for maintaining signal purity in most home audio environments, it is best kept away from power cables or other sources of significant electrical noise to prevent potential interference.
The Timbre is known for being harmonically complete and full-bodied, meaning it doesn't thin out the sound. It excels at revealing the natural texture of instruments and creating a sense of depth, or 'holographic' imaging, that entry-level cables often lack.
Ultraplate RCA connectors are Kimber Kable’s proprietary plugs designed to provide a secure, high-conductivity connection. They are built for long-term reliability and ensure a consistent signal transfer between your components.
No, the Timbre is specifically designed for single-ended (RCA) termination. If your system requires balanced XLR connections, you would need to look at a different model within the Kimber Kable lineup.
