Black Rhodium Encore Speaker Cable - Terminated Pairs

Black Rhodium Encore Speaker Cable is based on the acclaimed Duet DCT++ CS cables. The expensive parts of the manufacturing process have been bypassed for a cost effective cable while the tried and tested design principles have been retained to produce superior sound quality.

Low Transient Phase

Encore gives very clear diction of a singer’s voice and separates musical instruments superbly through a dramatic reduction of ‘Transient Phase Distortion’. This is reduced by using thicker insulation than is usual in speaker cables, increasing the distance between conductors and thereby reducing the magnetic field seen in each conductor wire as a result of the magnetic field created by the current in the other conductor wire.

Anti RFI/EMI Technology

Encore is continuously twisted along its length to prevent the cable acting as a loop aerial. A cable that is untwisted has a larger surface area, therefore has a greater ability to attract RFI/EMI signals generated from Radio, Wi-Fi, Mobile Phones and even central heating systems. Additional RFI/EMI filtering is also applied directly to the conductor wire. This prevents high-frequency noise modulating the signal at either end of the cable.

Silicone Rubber insulation

Silicone rubber insulation is used because its low dielectric loss ensures extremely low distortion due to dielectric absorption effects in which sound energy is absorbed in the insulation and released at a later interval of time to create highly audible time-smearing distortion. By using silicone rubber insulation, Encore guarantees sharper leading edges to your music and lingering, more natural decays.

Advanced Manufacturing

Encore uses two silver plated copper cores for positive and negative signal flows. These are connected in opposite directions. Listening tests have shown when connected this way the noise floor between the musical notes lowers. This gives ‘blacker’ silences in the interval between musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in music.

Lower Cost Z Plugs

Encore is terminated with gold plated Z plugs, chosen because despite their comparably low cost, they deliver a very high-quality sound compared to other types of plug. Gold plating is applied to the plugs to ensure a cleaner and less corroded contact is maintained between the plug and socket. Additional security of the connection between the cable and plug is provided by a second set screw that clamps the outer insulation of the wire.
