VAN DAMME Black Series 2: 4:: Configuration Bi-Wire 4 x 2.5mm2 Multicore- Terminated Audio Speaker Cables (A pair for two speakers)
Available in optional or custom length (Please contact us)
If you needed 4 x 4mm diameter conductors or 4-4 configuration please look for our other items, or please feel free to contact us.
• Cables are high pressure crimped of professional electric crimping tool Hex Gun (for maximum contact surface area).
• Terminated High Quality 12x 24-Gold-Plated Pure Red Copper Airloc SIGMA Banana 4mm spring loaded plugs at the both end.
• The ends finished with colour coded Red & Black and marked (gold arrows) directional branded heat shrink sleeves.
NOTE: The cables are directional so prior to connecting, make sure that the arrows run from the amplifier to the speakers terminals.
AIRLOC a solder-free, airtight perfect fusion between the two metals of cable and plug. This ‘cold weld’ method allows the cable and plug to offer the optimum signal transfer and therefore, better sound quality. It also reduces contact resistance and ensures perfect long-term performance.
Description:
This speaker cable is designed to withstand the demands of live and touring use with a tough, yet, flexible, outer sheath. The conductors feature ultra pure oxygen free copper (UPOFC) for accurate tranmission and outstanding sonic integrity.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Van Damme cables are used in many professional systems and critical near field monitoring in recording and mastering studios worldwide.Van Damme is the industry standard in sound production, television, film and radio studios as well as live broadcasts and music performances.
REGARDING SIGMA PLUGS
We are proud with our new product and we believe it will improve the sound quality of any audio system.We offer designed to fit the 4mm amplifier and speaker terminal socket found on most high end audio separators such as Arcam, Linn, Quad and Naim amplifiers, these 4mm plugs are constructed from a gold plated red copper connector and the cable termination is by CRIMPING.This plugs is available in three different sizes and fits 2.8mm, 3.4mm and 4mm diameter cable and requires crimping with a heavy duty crimping tool to ensure consistently high levels of performance and connectivity regardless of the conductor cross-section, which has a very important effect on the transmission of a smooth signal and very low resistance unlike mostly available Brass plugs.The spring loaded pin section of the plug allows for optimal connection to the speaker or amplifier terminal socket.
We use professional electric and manual high quality crimping tools to terminated audio cables and we offer the possibility of terminating our products with these plugs.If you want to terminate your cables yourself you will need a crimping tool or you can contact your local Hi-Fi supplier.
Materials such as audio cables and its connections are a very important link in the entire Hi-Fi audio chain, which is why we decided to introduce new plugs, which are made of red copper and their surface is covered with gold, so that the signal flows clearly and without obstacles on the way.
We know metals such as brass or alloy are very contaminated so we want to explain it simply.
For example: a tube filled with hair restricts the flow of water more than a clean tube of the same shape and size.Likewise, electrons can flow freely and easily through a copper wire, but cannot flow so easily through a steel or brass wire of the same shape and size. The difference between copper and brass is related to their microscopic structure and electron configuration and is quantified by the property called resistivity.
Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to transfer energy. There are different types of conductivity, including electrical, thermal and acoustic conductivity. The most electrically conductive element is pure silver, followed by very close are copper and gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity of all elements and the highest light reflectance.While it is the best conductor, copper and gold are more commonly used in electrical applications because copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.As silver tarnishes, it is less desirable at high frequencies as the outer surface becomes less conductive.
Brass has six times weaker conductivity than copper.
Brass oxides they are hard and highly contaminated, strongly adhering and act as an effective insulator, while copper oxides are softer and conductive. Therefore, connections and terminations of copper wires are almost the best conductor of electricity, unfortunately most of the available plugs on the market are made of brass.
Why did we name our plugs Sigma? because electrical conductivity is measured in Siemens per meter (S / m) and is commonly denoted by the Greek letter σ (Sigma).

Wire cross section (wire diameter)
Contrary to appearances, this is an important factor, because it depends not only on the volume of the sound, but also on the acceptable power output.So if is the thicker conductor wire then the lower its resistance and the greater the current strength. On the other hand, do not overdo it with its diameter. For example, using a large section cable in a small set of computer speakers is pointless, because the benefits will be very small, and even none.The sale of speaker cables is available in 4 cross-sections:
As for the length of the speaker cables, the rule is: the shorter the better. The excess of the cable unnecessarily increases its resistance, the more so that the resistance in the cable counts double: from the amplifier to the loudspeaker and back. Thus, every meter more 2-wire cable is like 2 meters more in its entire length. For the same reason, it is important to remember that the length of the cable is the same in both channels (left and right), both in the stereo system and the home theater. In home cinema systems, the front speaker cables are usually shorter than to the rear speakers, but it is important that the speakers of each pair (front or rear) are powered with a cable of the same length. Theoretically, there is no upper limit when it comes to the length of the speaker wire, but they are the sizes recommended by specialists depending on the impedance (the smaller the impedance, the greater the current flows in the cable, so it must be shorter). Here they are for copper wires:
