Description
Designed and handcrafted using a carefully selected combination of Duelund tinned copper and 5N OCC silver conductors, precision-tuned to deliver exceptional sound quality while minimizing signal transmission loss.
Audiolund CENTER Speaker Cable ~ Xtreme Silver Series
Construction & Specifications
- Uses 2 × 12GA + 2 × 20GA Duelund tinned copper conductors, combined with 8 solid-core 5N OCC silver conductors in various gauges: 18GA + 24GA + 26GA + 28GA + 29GA + 29GA + 32GA + 32GA.
- Each 1.0m center speaker cable, including positive (+) and negative (−) signal paths, uses a total of 4m × 12GA + 4m × 20GA Duelund tinned copper conductors, together with 2m × 8 solid-core 5N OCC silver conductors ranging from 18GA to 32GA.
- Multiple types and layers of shielding materials help reduce noise and RFI/EMI interference.
- A unique damping design incorporates multiple anti-vibration and damping materials to suppress unwanted vibration and enhance isolation.
- Standard length: 1.0m, with custom lengths available.
- Termination options: Banana Pin / Y-Spade Pin.
Sound Characteristics
The Xtreme Silver Series Center Speaker Cable combines 8 solid-core 5N OCC silver conductors ranging from 18GA to 32GA per signal path with 12GA and 20GA Duelund tinned copper conductors.
It combines the natural, smooth, quiet, and highly musical presentation associated with the Xtreme Series and Western Electric-inspired sound characteristics with the sweetness, delicacy, speed, power, and dynamic qualities of pure silver found in the True Silver Series.
The Xtreme Silver Series is designed to achieve a carefully balanced blend of classic Western Electric-inspired tonal character and modern pure-silver performance. This balanced presentation makes it highly versatile and well suited to a wide range of high-end audio systems.
Conductor Cross-Sectional Area
Estimated conductor cross-sectional area per meter, per +/− channel:
- Duelund Tinned Copper: 7.65mm²
- 5N OCC Silver: 1.48mm²
Recommendation
If you appreciate both the natural and musical character of Western Electric-inspired sound and the clarity, speed, detail, and dynamics of pure silver, the Xtreme Silver Series offers an exceptional balance of both.
OPTION: Select Cable Sleeve Color:
1) Default: Red copper + Black Strip with Black Backgrounds
2) Optional: Red Copper + Red Stripe with Black Background
Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables use multi-core designs incorporating various conductor types, gauges, and combinations. As a result, they require an extended run-in period to reach their intended sonic performance.
The thick, solid-core OCC silver conductors typically require a longer run-in period than Duelund tinned copper conductors, which use multiple parallel strands of finer wire.
As a general guideline:
- Most Audiolund cables: approximately 100 to 200 hours
- Xtreme Silver Series: approximately 200 to 400 hours
Because the Xtreme Silver Series incorporates multiple solid-core OCC silver conductors together with Duelund tinned copper conductors, additional run-in time is recommended before making final critical listening evaluations.
