Cardas Clear Phono Cable

Hugely revealing four-conductor cable

Clear phono cable is a four conductor version of the Clear interconnect. It uses the same matched propagation conductors to achieve the most revealing phono cableCardas hasever developed.

The Upscale View

It 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. Read more here.

Matching Propagation

The Clear line is based on learnings and technology from the Clear interconnect which wasmade possible by George Cardas invention of the Matched Propagation Conductor in 2010. 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.

The telephone industry has long understood and accepted the garblingthat occurs when the signal outpaces the dielectric.It is fitting that long before founding Cardas Audio,George Cardasspent years as a line engineer with the telephone company in Southern California.

The Matched Propagation Solution prevents distortion bymatching 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.
