Know before you buy
Standard metal jumpers often lack the conductivity and signal integrity of high-quality cabling. Replacing them with Cardas jumpers minimizes resistance and potential oxidation, ensuring a cleaner signal path between your speaker's high and low-frequency terminals.
Cardas Grade One Copper is 99.9999% oxygen-free, which reduces impurities that can impede signal flow. This high level of purity, combined with their Litz construction, helps maintain the clarity and detail of your audio signal.
These jumpers are terminated with Cardas CGMS spades, which are designed to fit most standard binding posts. We recommend checking that your speaker terminals can accommodate spade lugs before purchasing.
Cardas uses Golden Ratio scaling to determine the wire gauge sizes within the cable. This geometry is designed to minimize resonance and internal reflections, resulting in a more natural and balanced sound profile.
These jumpers are specifically designed to bridge the gap between bi-wire terminals on speakers that are being driven by a single pair of cables. They ensure that both the woofer and tweeter sections receive the same high-quality signal.
Each set includes four 6-inch jumpers: two red for the positive terminals and two black for the negative terminals. This is sufficient to outfit one pair of speakers.
