This core is suspended by set of air-tubes 1 Golden Ratio step (1:1.618) larger in diameter than the inner air-tubes, held together with graphite tape, holding the dual composite shields at a precise distance from the conductors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Upscale View\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an open secret that Cardas Audio supplies copper to some of the greatest names in high-end audio. But going far beyond creating the purest and smoothest conductors, Cardas makes a range of beloved audio cables at its facility in Bandon, OR. Cardas is quietly one of audio's few brands that are impressively true to the 'Made in America' badge.

These conductors, with both speaker and interconnect variants, match the propagation velocity of the signal through the copper wire to the propagation rate of the best available dielectric materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telephone industry has long understood and accepted the garbling that occurs when the signal outpaces the dielectric.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt is fitting that long before founding Cardas Audio, George Cardas spent years as a line engineer with the telephone company in Southern California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Matched Propagation Solution prevents distortion by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ematching the propagation of the conductor to the dielectric through the use of specific pitch angles for each strand of copper wire wrapped around a core of Kevlar yarn. A selection of hard-to-obtain, high-performance dielectric materials with fast dissipation rates ensures that the signal remains intact and intelligible throughout the length of the cable. The result is a conductor that conveys an unprecedented level of realism and transparency, without any detriment to the musicality of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConductor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 x 25.5 AWG Clear Beyond conductors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric:\u003c\/strong\u003e PFA-air \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matched Propagation, Golden section, Crossfield, litz, two spiral shields \u0026amp; PFA graphite composite, Alcryn jacket\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cardas","offers":[{"title":"0.5 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071277752,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 0.5M RCA","price":2130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071310520,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 0.5M XLR","price":2130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071343288,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 1M RCA","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071376056,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 1M XLR","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071408824,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 1.5M RCA","price":3870.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071441592,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 1.5M XLR","price":3870.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071474360,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 2M RCA","price":4740.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071507128,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 2M XLR","price":4740.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071539896,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 2.5M RCA","price":5610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071572664,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 2.5M XLR","price":5610.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Meter \/ RCA","offer_id":41994071605432,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 3M RCA","price":6480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Meter \/ XLR","offer_id":41994071638200,"sku":"CLEAR-IC 3M XLR","price":6480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/CLEARINTERCONNECTCGXLRCoilImage.jpg?v=1741630484","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/cardas-clear-interconnect","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
