To further optimize the signal path, we orient the positive and negative conductors in a flat configuration that eliminates phase distortion. Additionally, the large gauge of Clarus speaker cable conductors lowers the cable’s resistance making it easier for an amplifier to drive the loudspeakers. The result of this innovative topology? Open and transparent sound with exceptional clarity, detail, dynamics, imaging and tonal balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading fs36 fw600 nomarg ucase\"\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading fs32 fw600\"\u003eThe Purest Copper Available for the Purest Sound Possible\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarus designs cables for discriminating audiophiles using the purist copper available.

An ultra-thin ribbon conductor wrapped around a non-conductive core provides an ideal path for high frequencies. Midrange signals are optimized by using a wide, flat conductor that lacks the skin depth necessary to support low bass, while the insulated large surface area of the mid-range conductor de-emphasizes high frequencies, producing an accurate and silky-smooth audio mid-range. Mathematically balancing these three shapes into the design of a signal conductor provides musical clarity and tonal balance not available in conventional conductor designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading fs32 fw600\"\u003eFlat Design Eliminates Phase Distortion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical round speaker cables use positive and negative conductors twisted together. This common configuration causes phase distortion in audio signals that result in audible noise. The flat design used in all Clarus speaker cables orients the positive and negative conductors in parallel, eliminating phase distortion, thereby improving sound quality and imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading fs32 fw600\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Levels of Insulation Maintain Purity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the conductors in Clarus speaker cables is independently insulated to minimize inter-conductor interference and maintain the clarity, openness, and transparency provided by our unique three-conductor design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull x-section is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center neuropol fs20 ucase\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.claruscable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/banner-speaker-single-wire-hoz-crim.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.claruscable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/banner-speaker-single-wire-hoz-crim.png 907w, https:\/\/www.claruscable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/banner-speaker-single-wire-hoz-crim-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/www.claruscable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/banner-speaker-single-wire-hoz-crim-768x307.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center neuropol fs30 ucase nomarg\"\u003eClarus\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmark class=\"has-inline-color\"\u003eCrimson\u003c\/mark\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center neuropol fs20 ucase\"\u003e MKII BFA \u0026amp; SPADE LUG CONNECTION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container alignfull gb-block-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-container-inside\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gb-container-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading fs32 fw600\"\u003eMark II — The Final Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarus terminates speaker cables with your choice of BFA-style banana plugs, spade lugs, or a combination of the two. We make both connectors with military-grade beryllium copper—a lightweight, springy alloy that renders low-loss connections. Most importantly, beryllium copper has a strong memory characteristic. When its shape is displaced, it tries to spring back to its original position or shape. This unique characteristic is ideal for speaker connectors placed under tension when connected to speaker binding posts. Clarus calls this “Spring Tension”’ connector technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical banana plugs have four spring-type sections that contact only a small area inside the binding post receptacle. The spring sections may lose tension over time and become intermittent. Clarus designed Mark II Spring Tension BFA Banana Plug connectors to address this issue. When plugged into a speaker’s binding post receptacle, its cylindrical shape compresses inward to make 360 degrees of contact and guarantees a secure electrical connection. The beryllium copper’s resilience causes the cylindrical shape to try to spring back to its original larger shape, ensuring the Clarus Mark II Spring Tension BFA Banana Plug will never cause a loss of sonic fidelity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of Clarus Mark II Spring Tension Spade Lug connectors is genuinely unique. Most high-end speaker binding posts designed for use with spade lugs are challenging to tighten by hand. Not only can this lead to insufficient contact that will degrade sound quality, but the connection may vibrate loose over time. Clarus makes Mark II Spring Tension Spade Lug connectors from solid beryllium copper with a center slice machined out of the flat U terminal. This cut allows the U terminal to flex and compress when tightened into a speaker’s binding post. The inherent springiness of beryllium copper acts like a lock washer creating tension that provides a long-lasting electrical contact and maintains signal integrity with no loss of musical fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading fs32 fw600 margtop\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClarus MKII Single Wire Speaker Cables— Superb Clarity, Dynamics, \u0026amp; Tonal Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClarus designs, engineers, and crafts each speaker cable to provide the ultimate listening experience for discerning audiophiles.
