Supra Cables XL Annorum Speaker Cables (Pair)

Price range: £450.00 through £690.00

Supra XL Annorum is a bi-wire speaker cable announced as part of Supra Cables 40th Anniversary.

The name derives from playing with latin numbers and language where XL means -10+50=40 and Annorum is a bent form of Anno, latin for year, hence 40 years. Supra take great pleasure in the fact that this cable is developed together with a renowned Swedish loudspeaker designer. The original intention was to design a conductor lead for internal wiring of drivers and cross-over filters. During the process, Supra achieved such good performance that the idea of the XL Annorum range was born.

The design is a 4 x 1.6 mm square-shaped lead configuration, where each lead comprises a plastic core around which 12 strands 5N oxygen-free copper are spun in a tight pitch. This minimizes skin-effect and inductance efficiently, and by choosing the sonically benign PP as dielectric (insulation) the sonical stability by preventing corrosion and material fatigue, will remain at highest possible level year after year.

The specification and performance fits right in between the Supra Quadrax and Supra Sword edition.

Description

The XL Annorum 4×1.6 sq. mm cable is based upon specific Supra ideas:

1) The use of 4 x 1.6 mm square, 12-strand 5N Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC), wound in a specific and controlled way to minimise series capacitance and inductance and to limit “skin effect” when using fewer strands..

2) Flexibility in use, so the cable is not stiff and difficult to connect to existing equipment

3) The 4 conductors are arranged in a 2×2 grid, so that each conductor is “paired” with the conductor which is diagonally opposite, in a “star-quad” formation, which reduces series inductance and hence there is less “insertion loss” between the amplifier and the loudspeaker.

The resulting speaker cable is then terminated in a number of ways to suit customer needs.

We can offer factory-terminated XL Annorum cables:

i) As standard, wired for bi-wiring, in “2 to 4” configuration (cables are “paired” at the amplifier end, but are terminated separately at the speaker end).

ii) We can also supply these cables for bi-amp use, with the cables configured in “4 to 4” mode, with each conductor being terminated separately at both ends.

iii) In “shotgun” configuration, (ie “2 to 2”) with all of the conductors being “paired” at both ends. This effectively doubles the number of strands carrying the signal to the speaker and in some cases may be preferred to bi-wiring.

We keep the bi-wired variant in stock in a range of lengths, with the other versions available “to order”. Standard fittings are Supra CombiCon Crimp bodies, and supplied with both Banana/BFA tips and Spade connectors. However, it is also available “off the reel” for those who wish to terminate the cable themselves.
