Information on some

of the unique technologies and materials used in the manufacture of

KIMBER KABLE loudspeaker cables is

listed below:

Special Formula PE Dielectric

A special recipe polyethylene dielectric that has carefully selected electrical and mechanical properties for a smooth, sweet and very natural sound.

Teflon® Dielectric

A high pressure, low temperature extruded Teflon® engineered for maximum signal transfer. The sound quality is accurate, detailed and has incredible dynamic contrasts.

VariStrand™ Ultra-pure and

Hyper-pure Copper and

Hyper-pure Silver Conductors

We begin with copper and silver formulations of extremely high purity and conductivity. VariStrand™ technology controls internal and external vibration by minimizing resonance within the cable stranding. This is accomplished by using variable sized strands in a specific ratio within each conductor.

KIMBER KABLE Proven Braiding Technique Kimber’s famous braided geometry is incredibly effective at reducing the effects of RF interference. Braided geometry also provides for increased performance with regard to signal flow, greatly benefiting audible performance. Whether incorporating our 4+4 or 8+8 conductor braids or our core centered braids, used in the Monocle™, BiFocal™ and TriFocal™ cables, each cable has been optimized to obtain certain electrical parameters and consequent sonic performance. The proprietary X38R core compound provides proper geometric spacing as well as unique acoustic damping and electrical properties.

The ESD (electrostatic dissapitive) yarn works electrostatically to improve signal fidelity, and creates an isolating matrix.

SPD and SBAN Spade and Banana Connectors Our standard SPD spade connector provides a high quality connection that is far superior to cheap gold-plated spade connectors. The SBAN is a great banana plug both mechanically and electrically. It is convenient, affordable and provides for a smooth and neutral sound.

PostMaster™

Our patented spade lug is made from ultra-pure copper. A unique feature of this connector is the compressible wafer between the contacts, which maintains dynamic pressure on the binding post. This prevents an increase in impedance due to vibration or temperature changes. Pressure ridges insure a gas-tight contact which dramatically reduces contact resistance. The plating is our proprietary Ultraplate™ finish. The PostMaster ™ is available in two sizes: PM-25 for 1/4” binding posts and PM-33 for 5/16” binding posts.

Patent #5,108,320.

WBT® Sandwich Spades

A high current spade lug with an elastomeric shock absorber for progressive contact pressure eliminating structure-born and air-born noise as well as magnetostriction. The fully insulated body is safe to use and conforms to international safety standards. The WBT-0660 (6mm, 1/4”) and WBT-0680 (8mm, 5/16”) utilize a solder free crimp type connection fitted with two Torx™ screws (T6) for secure connection and optimum performance. Color code: red or white. Easy fit for wire size up to 10mm2 (8 awg).

WBT® Banana Plugs

The WBT line of banana plugs includes three mod- els; WBT-0600, WBT-0644 and WBT-0645. The WBT-0645 is a top quality CE compliant banana plug and is approved worldwide as a loudspeaker connector due to the safety pin design. Obtaining high contact pressure is possible due to an expanding inner spike. The extremely compact design also allows easy one hand operation. The sloping angle is easy on cable and equipment. The WBT-0645 is stackable for bi-wiring. Two Torx™ screws (T-6) are incorporated for extra-tight pres- sure connection and additional strain relief. Easy fit for wire size up to 10mm2 (8 awg). Also avail- able is the WBT-0644 Midline straight banana plug and the Topline WBT-0600 straight banana plug. International Patent #29,703,602 .5 Design Patent #M9,500,657.5
