The Sonata Evo II line uses a new cable made up of different conductors depending on the application. It is not built like any other cable currently produced. Each conductor contains a large number of strands of enameled copper wire, braided in fractal replication (designates a shape whose appearance does not change whatever the scale).

The conductor contains two windings which are superimposed on each other in a braided manner. Half of the strands of copper wire are braided clockwise and the other half counterclockwise. Thanks to this method, there is an electrical cancellation of the induced noise, the cable provides an enormous signal-to-noise ratio.

The power cord

A new generation of high-performance power cable, designed to deal with the highly polluted electromagnetic environment of today. It is made up of three cables: a cable connected to the phase, the second to neutral and the third to earth.

Sonata Evo II power cable

– conductors: strands made up of a large number of strands of braided enameled copper wire covered with a black cotton sheath
– connectors: Neutrik gold-plated XLR plugs
– length: 0.83 m or 1.30 m
other lengths: on request

Sonata : the power line

The power distributor

The bar is fixed on a bamboo base which is placed on 4 Hifistay feet, allowing a maximum control of the vibrations.

Noise reduction is based on the dual coil method.

The two signals polarized in opposite directions cancel each other when the two counter-polarized currents are combined by simple electrical contact between the two ends of the wire.

The conductor perfectly counteracts noise induction, whether it comes from external sources or self-induced, which normally pollutes all other twisted wire assemblies. This way, the signal transfer is intact.

The resulting signal-to-noise factor is far superior to standard structures.

The strands which constitute the conductor are covered with a colorless enamel. The conductors are insulated with natural cotton fiber.
This creates a very quiet cable which does not influence the sound balance over the entire frequency spectrum.

Speaker cables

Each conductor contains a large number of strands of enameled copper wire, braided in fractal replication (designates a shape whose appearance does not change whatever the scale). This is ideal for a speaker cable made up of several conductors.

Sonata Evo II Speaker

– conductors: strands made up of a large number of strands of braided enameled copper wire covered with a black cotton sheath
– connections: 4 mm gold-plated copper banana plugs with low contact resistance
– length: 2 x 2 m – 2 x 3 m – 2 x 4 m – 2 x 5 m – 2 x 6 m

The cable achieves further stability by a cryogenic treatment..

This manipulation makes it possible to soften the crystal structure of the copper deformed during the manufacture of the cable.

The main characteristics of the « Sonata Evo II » cables – modulation, digital, speakers and mains are:
– low resistance
– good vibration damping thanks to the cotton sheath
– cryogenic treatment
– absence of background noise
– high resolution
– neutral and realistic timbres
– more precise stereophonic image
– beautiful dynamics
– absence of fatigue

Interconnect cables

The tonal character of this cable is very balanced. The fluidity of the audio message is impressive, breathtakingly realistic.

Sonata Evo II cables - RCA

– conductors: strands made up of a large number of strands of braided enameled copper wire covered with a black cotton sheath
– connectors: gold plated RCA plugs with very low contact resistance and low capacitance
– length: 0.83 m or 1.30 m
other lengths: on request

All the same benefits of the RCA cable are brought together again. The veracity of the timbres is associated with the transcription of a beautiful soundstage.

Sonata Evo II cables – XLR

– conductors: strands made up of a large number of strands of braided enameled copper wire covered with a black cotton sheath
– connectors: Neutrik gold-plated XLR plugs
– length: 0.83 m or 1.30 m
other lengths: on request

Digital cables

Thanks to the design of the conductors with a huge signal-to-noise ratio, we obtain a very quiet cable which does not influence the sound balance over the entire frequency spectrum. This is very favorable for the transmission of digital signals.

Sonata Evo II digit RCA cables

– conductors: strands made up of a large number of strands of braided enameled copper wire covered with a black cotton sheath
– connectors: gold plated RCA plugs with very low contact resistance and low capacitance
– length: 0.83 m or 1.30 m
other lengths: on request

Ce câble numérique XLR AES/EBU utilise les mêmes conducteurs que le câble digit RCA. Nous retrouvons les mêmes qualité sonores sur tout le spectre de fréquences mais avec une plus grande ouverture de la scène sonore.
