Comice Speaker Cable Raises
Expectations
Built with a foundation in science, carefully crafted in the United
States, and verified with listening tests, the Comice Speaker Cable
sets the new standard for audiophile speaker cable within financial
reach. Teflon, cotton, and high-grade copper enable the perfected
geometry of this cable to bring any type of music to life.
The hallmark of the Comice Speaker Cable is simple accuracy and
neutrality.
The 6 helically wound conductors of the Comice Speaker Cable provide
the backbone for this low-inductance cable that measures in at just
0.06 microH/ft. Dielectric absorption is kept low and linear with
optimized thickness Teflon insulation.
The Comice Speaker Cable absorbs less energy (when
compared to most cables of the same gauge), giving more accurate
sound than our competitors. Steadily growing in popularity, the
Comice Speaker Cable is destined to become a classic.
COMICE SPEAKER CABLE TECHNICAL DETAILS:
No Detail Too Small
Every aspect of the Comice Speaker Cable has been meticulously analyzed
to optimize performance. From the precise lay of the conductors,
to the insulation thickness, to the material choices, no detail
is too small for consideration. By optimizing every parameter, we
can squeeze every bit of accuracy and performance out of a given
cable geometry.
Low Inductance
By utilizing 6-conductors, precisely spaced in a spiraling helix,
the Comice Speaker Cable is able to achieve dramatically lower inductance
than traditional 2 conductor speaker cables. How low? At just 0.06
microH/ft, the Comice Speaker Cable has just 1/3rd the inductance
of typical 2 conductor speaker cables. That means less energy will
be absorbed by the cable, giving you all the detail you desire.
Mechanical Resonance Control
The Comice Speaker Cable has been specifically designed to eliminate
mechanical resonance. Speaker cables carry a lot of current, which
creates magnetic fields around the conductors. These magnetic fields
push the positive and negative conductors apart at the frequency
of the music, and can cause the cable to vibrate. This vibration
absorbs energy and distorts the audio signal. The 6-conductor configuration
of the Comice Speaker Cable neutralizes much of the force caused
by these magnetic fields. In addition, the compressed cotton core
of the cable in conjunction with the compressive outer jacket helps
to eliminate resonance caused by any remaining magnetic fields.
The end result is bass that hits you like a brick (the way it should).
Highest Quality Materials
- High purity, 99.99% pure oxygen free copper, fully annealed
conductors are utilized in this cable. You won't find sound-degrading
silver-plated copper here. Plating conductors in cables that carry
music signals (interconnects and speaker cable) causes frequency
smearing due to the skin effect. High frequency information, which
gets pushed to the outside of the conductor, sees a different
resistance (from being in a different metal) than the low frequency
information.
- Teflon primary insulation surrounds our high purity copper.
Teflon is the most expensive cable insulation material, but it
also gives the best frequency response of any solid cable insulation
material.
Better Noise Rejection
By utilizing 6-conductors in a spiraled helix, we have dramatically
increased noise rejection. Both electromagnetic noise (EMI) and
electrostatic noise (RFI) are effectively reduced without the need
for an external shield that would have an adverse effect on sound
quality.
Reduced Skin Effect
Skin effect is an electrical phenomenon that pushes high frequency
information to the outside of a conductor. This causes that high
frequency information to "see" less copper and experience higher
resistance than the low frequency information. By separating each
conductor into 3 individually insulated wires, we have dramatically
lowered the skin effect in the Comice Speaker Cable. This gives
your sound more detail and accuracy.

Connection
The Comice Speaker Cable is available with either Level 1 or Level
2 connectors. In either case, the connection is achieved by crimping
connectors or crimps under extreme pressure to achieve a cold weld
to the cable conductors. In the case of Level 2 connectors, a separate
gold plated, pure copper, crimp ferrule is utilized which enables
the connector to be attached using a setscrew. The setscrew connections
of Level 2 connectors allow removal/replacement of connectors if
desired. All connectors are attached immediately after insulation
is removed in order to achieve a corrosion free, permanent connection,
which will provide years of stable performance. Level 1 Banana connectors
are traditional gold plated spring leaf style. Level 1 Spade connectors
are gold plated pure copper and are stepped to accommodate binding
posts from 1/4" to 3/8" in diameter. Level 2 Banana connectors
are removable, angled, split-pin, locking connectors that create
a vice-like grip between the connector and the speaker terminal.
Level 2 Spade connectors are removable, textured contact surface,
gold plated solid copper and are stepped to accommodate binding
posts from 1/4" to 3/8" in diameter.
Configuration
The Comice Speaker Cable is available in either single wire, or
double bi-wire configurations. Level 1 or Level 2 connectors are
available in spades or bananas. Standard lengths are 3 ft, 8 ft,
or 12 ft, but as with all Pear Cables, custom lengths are readily
available and priced at the same rates as standard products. Please
contact Pear Cable to get a quote on a custom cable. Finally, bulk
cable is offered for those who wish to bypass connections all together,
or embark in DIY projects.
