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 BSSC9515 Brown Sugar Hi-End class speaker cable 2x9,5mm2
Melodika Brown Sugar BSSC9515 is the result of Polish technical thought and the culmination of 7 years of research, testing and observation undertaken by Melodika specialists. The Hi-End speaker cable from the Brown Sugar series is based on the BSC2950 cable, which is the top model in this series and represents an impressive 9.5mm2 diameter. Since audiophile-grade Melodika Brown Sugar BSSC9515 uses high-quality materials and technical solutions, it is able to extract the maximum from your audio system potential and deliver audio signal without compromising its purity and balance.
The Brown Sugar series is manufactured with high-quality Polish OFC 6N copper with a high purity of 99.9999%. Since it guarantees durability and the highest quality of electrical parameters, it is used in the most cutting-edge audio cables. The technologically advanced construction of the BSSC9515 combines already proven concepts such as Multi-Gauge Core and Spiral Litz Technology, enclosed in a triple low-capacitance dielectric insulation made of LDPE.
Twisted cores
It turns out that sometimes the old school solutions are still the best one can use. When a signal is transmitted through a cable, it is done using a current. Electromagnetic field which it produces, could interfere with the other cable signals. However, twisting the cables reduces this effect. Two braids of spirally twisted conductors eliminate self-interference effect. As a result, the current induced in one conductor has the opposite direction to that in the neighboring one and thus, the disturbances cancel one another.
Multi-Gauge Core Technology is the special cable construction which employs five conductors of different thicknesses for low, medium and high tones. Due to the variable magnetic interactions of the current with itself, the higher the frequency of the signal, the more it tends to flow over the surface of the conductor. In result, increase in frequency causes decrease in utilization of conductor cross-section and consequently, an increase in cable impedance for high frequencies which, obviously, is not advantageous to sound quality. The signal begins to flow unevenly (also due to phase shifts) and there is a loss of quiet components, which in the listening experience is defined as lack of air or subtle information.
Multi-Gauge Core Technology responds to the fact that the wire thickness affects its electrical properties. Thus, the new, innovative design of Melodika Brown Sugar BSSC9515 consists of strands of five thicknesses; Each of them has been engineered to utilise the best sound quality of low, medium and high frequencies:
· The thickest core: about 1.3 mm2 - for deep bass, e.g. organ, double bass or cinema effects
· Medium-thicker wires with a total cross-section of 1.3 mm2 - for full bass range, its proper control and selectivity
· Medium wires with a total cross-section of: 2.1 mm2 - for a saturated sound of a med range, e.g. guitar, piano, saxophone
· Medium-thinner wires with a total cross-section of: 2.1 mm2 - for violin, celestial and vocal resonance
· The thinnest strands with a total cross-section: 70 mm2 - for clean and accurate transmission of the highest frequencies
In Spiral Litz Technology each braid is made of separately insulated and twisted wires which enables them to act as separate conductors, not as one large conductor. The total voltage of power amplifier's output flows in each of them. This type of solution prevents electrons from jumping from one strand to another and thus, eliminates the loss of the so-called subtle information. The most important benefit of this technology is the uniformity of the current distribution throughout the cable cross-section that increases the efficiency of power transmission. Skin-effect is reduced to minimum.
This design increases the frequency efficiency and the skin effect is considerably reduced. The most important advantage of the technology used is the uniformity of the current distribution throughout the conductor cross-section, thus increasing the efficiency of current transmission. Furthermore, the conductors’ insulation contributes to prevention of copper oxidation. Transparent outer insulation of increased resistance also protects against mechanical damage, and, at the same time, does not conceal the actual structure of the cable.
Solid Grip Technology, i.e. pressing instead of a screw clamp
When connecting loudspeakers and audio amplifier with a bare wire causes the exposed copper to oxidize quickly which increases the cable resistance and has a detrimental effect on the sound fidelity. That is the reason why high-class cables rely on f.e. banana plugs. The new, preeminent Solid Grip Technology employed in the Melodika BSSC9515 cable ensures the tight, permament connection of the plugs to the speaker cable, without the use of soldering.
Contrary to the standard connection technique, i.e. the use of screw terminals, Solid Grip Technology consists in crimping a properly prepared plug on the loudspeaker cable with a press. This allows all conductors to be tightly pressed together with the plug in a way that eliminates gaps between them and maximizes the contact area. The monolith obtained this way forms a smooth, uninterrupted signal path, which significantly reduces the connection resistance.
The cable and plug which are pressed together with Solid Grip Technology offer a much higher conductivity than a terminal made with screws or soldered joints. The solution employed in Melodika BSSC9515 provides a reliable, durable connection that is resistant to oxidation and offers excellent electrical conductivity with reduced resistance. Moreover, plugs are 24k gold plated so they also does not oxidize and thus, allow the low resistance connection during the whole time of cable utilization.
Melodika BSSC9515 is the loudspeaker cable with an exceptionally clean, balanced and spacious, deep and wide sound stage. Subtle emphasis on low and high tones with a slight smoothing of the latter made it possible to counterbalance the physiological properties of human hearing, which is less sensitive to these ranges.
The advanced BSSC9515 loudspeaker cable construction allows you to extract an enormous amount of sound micro details, not only in the high registers but also in the low and medium tones, which is not found in other cables in this price range. As a result, we get a cable with exceptionally neutral sound, which will work perfectly for many Hi-Fi and Hi-End systems.
