Dedalus Speaker is a High End Speaker cable designed and handmade in Italy. It is based on 6.4 mm2 7N MASC copper conductors with R-TEC polymer dielectrics and guarantees a sound of great acoustic performances.

The twisted geometry with a detorsion system, allows obtaining an unprecedented timbre equilibrium and the external shielding guarantees an excellent protection against external interferences that can be inserted in the audio signal.

Equipped with the new technology RNR (Ricable Noise Reduction) with Germanium semiconductor that reduces the background noises present in the signal, it allows obtaining a clean, clear sound, which best reflects the musicality of loudspeakers and amplifiers of value.

The new copper-tellurium banana connectors have been designed with a reinforced pole that improves the mechanical characteristics of normal bananas by more than 50%, as well as improving the electrical characteristics compared to the common brass.

 

Dedalus Speaker is a cable of substance, able to support better the signal of power of high quality electro-acoustics, but at the same time it is able to characterize good combinations of mid-range.

Highlights

  • Conductors from 6.4 mm2 of 7N MASC copper (Multicore Annealed Ricable Conductor) with 0.1 mm strands with a smoother and more compact surface allowing a 70% better audio transmission than OFC copper.
  • Twisted geometry with 750 wires per insulated conductor with polymer that dramatically improves the audio signal and lengthens life to your amplifier.
  • Banana BFA connectors made of monobloc copper-tellurium with central reinforcement pole that improves the mechanical capacities of more than 50% and the electric ones by more than 25% compared to the brass bananas. 24k gold plated with specific electrolysis technique.
  • RNR (Ricable Noise Reduction) technology with Germanium semiconductor on all conductors to break down the background noises. With this system the sound is more detailed and luminous, while maintaining a natural and balanced tone.
  • The used insulating materials are the top of R-TEC technology, with special polyethylene and innovative polymers, in order to reduce electrical capacity and resistance and to guarantee a better support to the Audio signal.

 

MARC© COPPER TECHNOLOGY

More than two years ago, we introduced the AM-RCC conductors into our power cables and the result was extraordinary. From that moment on, we worked for a further improvement of our conductors, because although the result was already excellent, we had seen margins for a significant improvement.

From these studies came out the new conductor MARC©, acronym of Multicore Annealed Ricable conductor, which characterizes the entire production of Magnus, Dedalus and Invictus.

These improvements allowed producing a copper conductor with a purity of 7n (99.99999%) more malleable than the previous one, thanks to the reduction of grains per meter by 25% compared to AM-RCC. This production implementation has allowed producing more smooth strands on the surface, more ductile and less diameter.

The following advantages are:

1. Greater quantity of raw material: The wire of the conductor is thinner and in greater quantity, on the same section, and consequently, with the same surface of conductor, we have a greater quantity of copper.

2. Skin effect reduction: By increasing the number of wires of the conductor and reducing the grains of the worked copper with consequent compaction of the surface, a substantial reduction of the skin effect is obtained, which in audio applications is one of the causes of more acoustic signal degradation.

3. Resistance reduction: Another effect of the diameter increase of the wires is that with consequently copper increase, even the electrical resistance has been reduced considerably.

4. Flexibility: MARC© Copper, in addition to the acoustic and electrical benefits, has made it possible to improve cable flexibility up to 70% compared to OFC copper.

5. Acoustics: The new work MARC©, together with the other introduced innovations, produces a greater transparency, a better detail, a more characterized soundstage in the sound, keeping unchanged the neutrality that has always distinguished our Production.

When we began to see the great results that could give the new conductor MARC ©, our research was focused on developing connectors that could enhance the new cables we were developing. It is well known that the connector is a focal point of the transmission of the audio signal, where the use of conventional brass connectors, can lose even 50% of the performance of a connection, so we started immediately the project Called RCCP, because our goal was to build new connectors with pure copper contacts.

The challenge was particularly difficult as it was a matter of redesigning all the connectors, taking into account the greater softness of the copper, which does not adapt to the production of the connectors, as often the contact points are very thin and can be subject to bends.

After a process that lasted more than two years, we can assert that Ricable is the first cable manufacturer that realizes a whole series of Hi-Fi Audio Cables (Invictus Series) with fully copper connectors and regarding the two smaller series, the connectors are completely of copper in most of the products, except for some exceptions, where it was necessary to use a copper-tellurium alloy, which in any case is a decidedly superior conductor than brass, generally used in Hi-Fi connectors.

All the connectors of the Magnus, Dedalus and Invictus Series are projected and designed by us and are manufactured individually with a special CNC Numerical control technique, re-adapted for the use of copper as raw material.

Parts that are not of copper, such as bodies and plastic components, adopt solutions to improve and safeguard the contact points.

The result of this painstaking work is impressive. From our performed tests, we had an improvement in the transmission of the electrical parameters of more than 40% compared to the brass connectors and this resulted in a clear improvement even in listening.

All connectors are 24k gold plated with gold/copper specific electrolysis technique in order to prevent corrosion and keep a constant performance over time.

With the advent of the new range, Ricable has introduced a series of important innovations, carrying out a prototyping work supported by technical studies, in order to choose materials and constructive techniques to be combined with the new conductors and connectors, thus completing the production of innovative and more performing cables in every use of the system.

The most innovative technologies have been implemented in the series Invictus, but also the smaller series have those technologies derived from the top of the range, in order to realize a range scaled for needs and characteristics.

The most important technological innovations concern the construction geometries, the insulations and the shields.

New Geometries

With the advent of new conductors MARC ©, we have developed new ways of setting up multi-rows conductors and new rules of interlacing with insulators and shields. The objective is to improve the electrical specifications, which, depending on the type of audio cable, influence the sound performance. In particular we have studied conductive surfaces specific for the type of cable and detorsion cording system with crank rod that allows twisting without stretching the conductors.

New Insulations

In dielectric and non-insulating insulators, we have introduced new materials, generally not used in the production of Hi-Fi cables, demonstrating our aptitude for unconventional experimentation. Among the major innovations, the use of new thermoplastic compounds that allow obtaining better dielectric specifications of polyethylene and a greater flexibility to PVC, and also a better preserving of the copper contact characteristics. Another important novelty is the insertion in some models of a Germanium-based material that impressively improves the background noises in the audio signal.

New Shields

The development process on the shields of the new range has been a continuation of past studies. We have identified the most effective shielding in every project, both for structure and material, in order to determine efficient and never superfluous screens.
