Brown Sugar enhances any sound system, regardless of where it is used. This high-tech speaker cable consists of three bundles of different thicknesses, one of which contains a 0.85mm² BassCore conductor. This reduced the undesirable skin effect in the conductors. In addition, all conductors in it are separately insulated, and the cable is terminated with Solid Grip banana plugs, which are tightly compressed with the conductors, eliminating empty spaces between them.
Melodika BSBA22515 (BSBA 22515) Brown Sugar with Solid Grip Pre Hi-End class bi-amping speaker cable
Thanks to its advanced construction, the Melodika BSBA225xx cable from the Brown Sugar series is dedicated to bi-amping.
A cable of Polish production with an advanced design with high-quality, gold-plated banana plugs with Solid Grip technology. The technologically advanced construction of the Brown Sugar cable combines concepts proven in practice, such as Multi-Gauge Core and Spiral Litz, enclosed in triple low capacitance dielectric insulation made of LDPE. In the Brown Sugar series, Melodika uses high-quality Polish OFC 6N copper with a purity of 99.9999%, which is used in the most advanced audio cables, as it is a guarantee of durability and maintaining the highest quality electrical parameters.
There are 3 types of bundle thickness in each pair. Each pair consists of 2 bundles: LF and HF where there are 2 core thicknesses:
The LF (Low frequency) wire dedicated to low registers, i.e. bass, consists of 2 thicknesses of wires:
4 wires - with a cross-section of 0.33mm2 - for low frequencies, e.g. organs, double bass or special effects in the cinema
4 wires - with a cross-section of 0.21mm2 - for a saturated midrange sound, e.g. guitar, piano, saxophone
The HF (High frequency) wire dedicated to high registers consists of 2 wire thicknesses:
4 wires - with a cross-section of 0.21mm2 - for a saturated midrange sound, e.g. guitar, piano, saxophone
12 wires - with a cross-section of 0.13mm2 - for clear and accurate transmission of the highest frequencies, e.g. violin or vocal
Two braids of mutually twisted conductors eliminate self-interference. The current induced in one wire has the opposite direction than in the adjacent one, so that the disturbances cancel each other out. Colorless outer insulation with increased resistance protects against mechanical damage, and at the same time does not hide the actual structure of the cable.
Solid Grip Technology, i.e. pressing instead of a screw clamp
In the case of bare wire connections between the speakers and the amplifier, the exposed copper oxidizes quickly, which increases the resistance of the cable and has a detrimental effect on the fidelity of the sound we hear. That is why high-class cables use plugs, e.g. banana plugs. The Melodika BSBA225xx uses a new, special technology of tight connection of plugs with the speaker cable without the use of soldering - Solid Grip Technology.
In contrast to the standard connection using screw terminals, Solid Grip Technology consists in crimping a properly prepared plug on the speaker cable using a press. This allows for tight pressing of all wires together with the plug in a way that eliminates free spaces between them and maximizes the contact surface. The monolith obtained in this way creates a smooth, uninterrupted signal path, which significantly reduces the resistance of the connection.
The wire and plug pressed together using Solid Grip Technology offer a much higher conductivity than in the case of a terminal made with screws or a solder connection. The solution used in Melodika BSBA225xx provides a reliable, durable connection that is resistant to oxidation and offers excellent electrical conductivity with reduced resistance. The plugs are covered with 24 carat gold, which also does not oxidize in the air. In this way, low resistance can be maintained throughout the life of the cable.

Litz construction - Spiral Litz Technology - (each guide separately insulated and twisted)
Many single cores are placed in separate isolation. In each core flows total current located on the power amplifier output. This solution is much better than standard cables like "strand, " type because electrons do not jump from strand to strand, flowing his own path without interruption. Moving of electrons from strand to strand is undesirable effect that causes the loss of the so-called subtle information. The most important benefit of this technology is the equal current distribution throughout the cross-section of the cable, thereby increasing the efficiency of power transmission. Skin-effect is virtually eliminated. Coated guides also prevent oxidation of copper.
Multi-Gauge Core Technology: A special cable contruction that employs conductors of different thicknesses to bring out the best sound from low, medium, and high tones
No skin effect
The higher the frequency transmitted by the line, the more current tends to flow on the surface of the guide. It happens because of variable magnetic interactions of the current with itself. And so, the higher the frequency, the closer to the surface of the conductor current is flowing. It is not a good effect, because with the increasing of the frequency, used guide surface is decreasing, which results in an increase of the cable impedance for high frequencies. The signal begins to flow unequally (also because of phase shifts) and there is a loss of very quiet components, which in the listetning sensations is called the lack of air or subtle information. therefore Melodika Brown Sugar BSC2450 has three different thickness of guides.
Twisted cores - the use of the braid spirally twisted causes that the sensitivity to wire interference is small, because the induced current in one guide has an opposite direction than in the neighboring - by which interferences cancel each other out.
