Clarus Crimson MkII Coax Digital Interconnect Product Description:
Crimson - The Most Exceptional High-End Audio Cables on the Market
Clarus meticulously designs, engineers, and crafts each cable in the Crimson series to deliver an unparalleled listening experience for discerning audiophiles. These cables boast an innovative multi-gauge design that incorporates three distinctively shaped and individually insulated conductors, achieving exceptional bass, midrange, and high frequencies. Enhanced by ultra-low-distortion PCCC and proprietary precision-formulated polyethylene (PE) insulation, the Crimson cables offer minimal loss, outstanding imaging, and superior sound definition. No other audiophile-grade cables match the innovative engineering breakthroughs and advanced high-end performance of the Clarus Crimson series.
Accurate Data Transfer and Maximum Performance
Coaxial digital audio cables are used to transport multichannel audio signals in wide bandwidth applications. Clarus digital audio cables are designed with a proprietary dielectric that ensures a consistent 75-ohm impedance, crucial for accurate digital data transfer and optimal performance. The silver-plated PCCC signal conductors enhance high-frequency performance by reducing resistance and significantly improving signal transfer. Additionally, the shielding effectively protects against noise and electromagnetic interference, ensuring a clear and reliable audio signal.
The Purest Copper Available for the Purest Sound Possible
Clarus designs cables for discerning audiophiles using the purest copper available. Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) is produced through a unique proprietary mold extrusion process, resulting in substantial lengths of single-crystal copper that is directional, free from impurities, flexible, corrosion-resistant, and features low electrical resistance with structurally perfect non-crystal boundaries. To meet the high-frequency demands of digital signals, Clarus incorporates ultra-pure silver-plated PCCC, which reduces resistance and significantly enhances signal transfer. This results in a sound that is not only smooth and fluent but also more dynamic.
Cable Geometry Optimized for 75-Ohm Impedance
Clarus designs digital audio cables using the highest-quality dielectric material: nitrogen-injected skin-foam-skin polyethylene (PE). The first layer of skin seals the conductor, preventing corrosion and providing an ideal surface. A second skin protects the dielectric from physical damage, maintaining a precise 75-ohm impedance. The PE dielectric between the skins is infused with nitrogen, creating a foam-like substance with high gaseous concentration and an ultra-low dielectric constant. This design minimizes signal loss and attenuation while enhancing the velocity of propagation.
Multiple Layers of Shielding Maintain Signal Purity
Clarus coaxial digital audio cables are designed with meticulous attention to preserving the integrity of the digital audio signal for maximum sonic purity. These cables feature heavy triple shielding to safeguard against interference. Layers of aluminum and copper foil protect against high-frequency noise, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), while copper braided shields guard against low-frequency noise, including radio frequency interference (RFI). The result is clear, full-range audio with a completely silent background.
Mark II — The Final Connection
Clarus terminates MKII digital audio cables with advanced RCA connectors crafted from two distinct copper alloys. High-purity, high-conductivity tellurium copper is used for its low resistance and superior sound characteristics, while lightweight, springy beryllium copper ensures solid contact and minimal signal loss.
The tellurium copper center pin features a hollow design that minimizes eddy currents, which can slow signal transfer. The beryllium copper used for the ground section of the RCA connector has excellent memory characteristics; it returns to its original shape if displaced, ensuring that the RCA plug’s ground plates maintain a firm connection with the receptacle for a reliable ground connection.
