Ultralink Matrix 2 Speaker Cables
Ultralink Matrix 2 Speaker Cables
We will admit usually we frown upon the "Uber" super audio cables but these review cables aren't overly pricey in comparison to some we have seen. We would say they are not in that premium super silver infused, plutonium enhanced-cryogenically treated cables you can find for $1000 a foot. Let's have a look at the specs and see what these cables are made of:
Specifications
- Geometry: 2-Conductor, Twisted-Pair Array
- Gauge: 2 x 14 AWG
- Conductor: Lab-Grade 6N (99.99997% pure) stranded copper
- DiELT ctric: LDPE diELT ctric insulation
- Termination: 24K direct gold-plated Banana plugs
These cables are not overly expensive given the specified quality, 99.9% pure stranded copper and 24K Banana jacks. Just from looking these over, these are some very high quality cables. They come in there own high quality storage/shipping bag. Interconnects and speaker cables are an important part of your system and should be treated as such. Let's have a peak and see what we have here from the cable designers at Ultralink.
Here is shot of the canvas carrying case the cables come packaged in. Which we think is a great idea as when you move your system around cables also get lost or misplaced. Considering this the cables go back into the bag and you're ready to go.
What is in the bag you ask?
The cables come tied with Velcro Ultralink cable ties keeping them tightly bundled and manageable as these cables are 8 feet each and quite thick as they are meant to push some serious audio power.
Here we can see the internal twisted pair construction, which is used to help prevent noise and inductance from other sources. 14 Gauge is rather thick and you could use these for some large speakers pumping out some major wattage.
Let's see some gold interconnects shall we?
The cables provide an excellent connection as the banana jacks feel very tight when assembling this system for audition. These cables help round out this system making it a tight product bundle. If there is a weak part of this system it is not in the connectors or cabling. The cables are very high quality but not hat extreme quality bracket where you hide the price when discussing the system with friends. We feel these are great cables for the price.
