Clarus Crimson MkII Speaker Jumper Cables 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.
Exceptional Detail, Dynamics & Tonal Balance
Many high-quality loudspeakers come with bi-wire capable binding posts, providing two sets of terminals on each speaker. For those who opt not to use bi-wire speaker cables, manufacturers often include a metal jumper, usually made of coated brass, to bridge these terminals.
If this describes your setup, we highly recommend upgrading from the factory-supplied metal jumpers to Clarus speaker jumpers. Crafted from the same exceptional materials and topology as Clarus speaker cables, these jumpers ensure that the integrity of your audio signal is maintained across all connections.
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 that creates substantial lengths of single-crystal copper. This process ensures that the copper is directional, free of impurities, flexible, corrosion-resistant, and exhibits low electrical resistance, with non-crystal boundaries that are structurally perfect.
Conductor Geometry Optimized for the Full Audio Spectrum
Clarus cable engineering transcends traditional wire gauge considerations by incorporating independent designer Jay Victor’s eight years of research and development, which include five patented innovations. This expertise has led to the creation of speaker cables that feature three distinct conductor types, each optimized for bass, midrange, and high frequencies.
Multiple Levels of Insulation Maintain Purity
Each conductor in Clarus speaker jumper cables is independently insulated to minimize inter-conductor interference. This ensures that the clarity, openness, and transparency of the sound are preserved, matching the unique three-conductor design of Clarus speaker cables.
Mark II — The Final Connection
Clarus terminates speaker jumper cables with your choice of BFA-style banana plugs, spade lugs, or a combination of both. Each connector is crafted from military-grade beryllium copper—a lightweight, springy alloy that ensures low-loss connections. The beryllium copper's strong memory characteristic allows it to return to its original shape, making it ideal for connectors under tension when attached to speaker binding posts. This technology, known as "Spring Tension," ensures secure and reliable connections.
You can select Clarus Mark II Spring Tension BFA Banana Plugs, which provide 360 degrees of contact for a solid connection, or Mark II Spring Tension Spade Lugs, which function like a lock washer. The spade lugs create tension that ensures a long-lasting electrical contact and preserves signal integrity, maintaining the purity of your audio experience.
