The jewelry-quality, custom machined, highly polished gold-plated, tellurium copper spade lugs transfer power effortlessly through heavy, precision-wound OFHC stranding, but unlike most high-end audio cables that aspire to be considered the best, these features describe only the beginning of the iconic Transparent Audio OPUS Speaker Cable story.
OSC network components are also specifically chosen and matched to suit the electrical characteristics of the cable and its length. This extra level of precision adds considerable time to the painstaking OSC manufacturing process which takes several days to complete.
Vibration and resonance control also go to new heights with OPUS Speaker Cable. The components that comprise each network are encased in electrically neutral epoxy and then surrounded by a massive carbon fiber network housing that has been contoured specifically for the purpose of reducing standing wave reflections. Carbon fiber is nonmagnetic, light, and stiff. The thinner, stronger network housing provides a large cavity for damping epoxy loading, and the non-magnetic qualities of carbon fiber allow the free and full expansion of electromagnetic fields thereby freeing your system to reveal micro dynamics and harmonic music information more accurately.
A thick carbon fiber sheet embedded in epoxy resin stiffens and damps vibrations in the custom-machined, constrained-layer damped acrylic carapace platform. Isolation feet stabilize the carapace platform and also reduce resonances and vibrational interference. Acrylic platform fasteners have a specific torque pressure and bore deeply into the epoxy-loaded carapace to further reduce the effects of resonances and vibrations.
To make sure the OPUS experience is complete, Transparent customizes every detail of the aspect and type of terminations and lengths required to attach OPUS Speaker Cable perfectly and neatly to the customer’s components and to integrate seamlessly in the listening room configuration.
