Clarus Crimson MkII Subwoofer Cable 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.
Rich, Well-Defined, Multi-Dimensional Bass
Nearly all AV receivers and preamplifiers come equipped with an LFE (low-frequency effects) output, which sends a mono signal composed solely of low frequencies to a subwoofer. Clarus subwoofer cables are specifically optimized for these low-frequency signals by rolling off high frequencies to minimize unwanted noise.
Clarus employs a multi-gauge twisted-pair design for their subwoofer cables. The multi-gauge conductors deliver detailed and dimensional bass, while the twisted-pair geometry significantly reduces noise at low frequencies, contributing to a more natural sound. Clarus subwoofer cables are renowned for capturing every nuance of rich, well-defined, and multi-dimensional bass.
The Purest Copper Available for the Purest Sound Possible
Clarus designs cables for discerning audiophiles using the highest quality copper available. Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) is produced through a specialized proprietary mold extrusion process, resulting in long lengths of single-crystal copper. This copper is directional, free from impurities, flexible, and corrosion-resistant, with low electrical resistance and structurally perfect non-crystal boundaries.
Distinctly Different Subwoofer Cable Design
Clarus subwoofer cables are meticulously designed with conductor sizes and combinations specifically optimized for low frequencies. Recognizing that low frequencies benefit from heavy gauge conductors, Clarus utilizes multi-large-gauge solid-core conductors in their subwoofer cables. The multi-gauge design incorporates three solid conductor sizes, each dedicated to supporting low-, mid-, and high-frequency bass signals.
Each conductor is individually insulated, ensuring clear and precise bass sound. Surrounding each conductor is a double-sided aluminum foil and Mylar® wrap, along with a copper-braided shield, which effectively blocks noise from external EMI and RFI sources. This design ensures that your high-performance subwoofer receives a clean, noise-free, high-resolution, and tight bass signal.
Mark II — The Final Connection
Clarus terminates MKII subwoofer cables with RCA connectors crafted from two high-performance copper alloys: high-purity, high-conductivity tellurium copper, which offers low resistance and exceptional sound quality, and lightweight, springy beryllium copper, which ensures secure contact and minimal signal loss.
The tellurium copper center pin features a hollow design that reduces eddy currents, which can sometimes slow signal transfer. The beryllium copper used in the ground section of the RCA connector possesses a strong memory characteristic, allowing it to return to its original shape after displacement. This ensures that the RCA plug’s ground plates maintain a firm grip on the receptacle, providing a reliable and solid ground connection.
