Cable Solutions "Signature Series 77" Subwoofer Interconnect Cable

Cable Solutions "Signature Series 77" Subwoofer Interconnect Cable with Canare "True 75 Ohm" Connectors

With double shielding and low-microphonics, this Cable Solutions "Signature Series 77" Subwoofer Interconnect Cable achieves a level of performance that many other cables simply cannot match...even at many times the cost.  It is an ideal choice for connecting powered subwoofers, for patch cables between pre-amps/processors and amplifiers, or for any subwoofer / LFE application.  Select from a wide range of lengths below, along with your choice of RCA or BNC* connectors.

Quest for Flawless Performance

We have found that connectors are key to great cable performance.  Exotic conductors and shielding are fine, but in our experience, the connectors can make more difference than the cable itself.

Ironically, the most common connector used for interconnecting consumer A/V gear may also be the worst connector in general use today.  Generic RCA type audio plugs and cables have been around since the 1940s, but the old solder-type plugs typically have an impedance of about 25 ohms. As a result, they exhibit extremely poor return loss performance, even when mated to high quality cable. Some of the most expensive "high end" cables still rely on connector designs that are both electrically and mechanically inferior.

If you look at the picture at the right, you can see the gold-plated center shaft.  If you click on the picture, you can get a better look at the internal gold-plated beryllium copper pressure fingers.  The design ensures good contact, while solving the "grip of death" problem that can be an issue with Monster and some of the other manufacturers' connectors.  (Those "grip of death" connectors put unnecessary strain on your equipment!)  Canare connectors connect up smoothly, and maintain good contact, while protecting your equipment investment.

With this in mind, we have chosen Canare's excellent "True 75 Ohm" RCA crimp plugs for our Signature Series cables.  They are impedance matched to ensure flawless audio performance.  They have a usable bandwidth of over 200 MHz and VSWR is typically less than 1.1:1 from DC to 200 MHz!  The design ensures highly consistent, reliable connections.

We install the connectors using Canare tools that always prepare the cable ends just right. The connectors are crimped in place, using heavy, precision-machined dies. The crimps are so tight that oxygen is excluded.  This exclusion prevents the corrosion that can degrade even the best soldered connections.  

Our Signature Series cables feature custom-imprinted color-coded heat-shrinkable tubing.  This full-coverage sheathing creates a more unified termination that helps to dampen mechanical vibrations.  By reducing vibration, we minimize the phenomenon known as "microphonics" that can occur in cables when high sound levels are present.  Mechanical dampening also minimizes stray signals that are induced when the cables move through environmental EM fields.

From a usability perspective, our smooth cable assembly helps prevent snagging.  If you do a lot of cabling work, setting up and knocking down systems, you know what I mean.

The Cable

We use oversized 7.7mm Canare precision coaxial cable.  To minimize curl and dielectric deformation, only select cuts of cable, from the outer part of the spool are used.  It is big coax, but the stranded center conductor and braided shielding ensure excellent flexibility and long life.  The cable's compliant nature makes it easy to handle and route. 

One of the greatest challenges associated with obtaining flawless audio transmissions to powered subwoofers is EM (Electro-Magnetic) interference.  The most common form of  EM ingress is 60 Hz hum from nearby wiring and powered equipment.  To ensure the flawless transmission of your audio signal, this high-performance cable features two layers of braided copper shielding.  The double shielding adds extra protection from EMF (Electro-Magnetic Fields).

This outstanding cable joins Canare's impedance matched connectors and our fully sheathed terminations in the quest for accurate, uncolored low frequency sound that is free of unwanted noise.  In short, you will get the best sound that your system can deliver.

Editor's note: The infamous Canare DigiFlex Gold cable assemblies use a smaller, 6.1mm, single-shielded, version of this cable.  They have earned many glowing reviews...just imagine what they will say when they review this one!

Hook-up Options

Most A/V receivers and pre-amps only have one subwoofer output connection, but if you have a subwoofer that has two inputs (or if you have two subwoofers) and you would like to drive both of those inputs, you may want to consider using our Vampire Wire #YF adapters.   One of these adapters can be installed at the single output so that you can then run a pair of interconnect cables to the subwoofer(s).  Alternately, these "Y" cables can be used to drive two inputs with a single cable.
