XL Annorum 4x1.6 Loudspeaker cable
The XL Annorum 4x1.6 sq. mm cable is based upon specific Supra ideas:
1) The use of 4 x 1.6 mm square, 12-strand 5N Oxygen-Free Copper
(OFC), wound in a specific and controlled way to minimise series
capacitance and inductance and to limit "skin effect"
when using fewer strands..
2) Flexibility in use, so the cable is not stiff and difficult to
connect to existing equipment
3) The 4 conductors are arranged in a 2x2 grid, so that each conductor
is "paired" with the conductor which is diagonally opposite,
in a "star-quad" formation, which reduces series inductance
and hence there is less "insertion loss" between the amplifier
and the loudspeaker.
The resulting speaker cable is then terminated in a number of ways
to suit customer needs.
We can offer factory-terminated XL Annorum cables:
i) As standard, wired for bi-wiring, in "2 to 4" configuration
(cables are "paired" at the amplifier end, but are terminated
separately at the speaker end).
ii) We can also supply these cables for bi-amp use, with the cables
configured in "4 to 4" mode, with each conductor being
terminated separately at both ends.
iii) In "shotgun" configuration, (ie "2 to 2")
with all of the conductors being "paired" at both ends.
This effectively doubles the number of strands carrying the signal
to the speaker and in some cases may be preferred to bi-wiring.
We keep the bi-wired variant in stock in a range of lengths, with
the other versions available "to order". Standard fittings
are Supra CombiCon Crimp bodies, and supplied with both Banana/BFA
tips and Spade connectors. However, it is also available "off
the reel" for those who wish to terminate the cable themselves.
