Oxygen-Free, High-Conductivity, Halogen-Free:
Belden introduces new Brilliance® speaker cables
Belden has introduced Brilliance® Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) halogen-free speaker cables. Designed for indoor, outdoor and buried applications, these cables connect loudspeakers with amplifiers and thanks to their high conductivity oxygen-free copper core, they deliver superior and distinctive sound performance. Twisted and color-coded conductors provide better RF, sound quality and improved EMC and low capacitance polyolefin insulation ensures superior high frequency response and extended distance runs.
These new Brilliance® OFHC halogen-free cables are ideal for use residential buildings, cruise ships, conference rooms, airports, music venues, hospitals, schools and similar situations, and their performance will be of interest too for loudspeaker manufacturers and equipment installers. The use of halogen-free plastic means no toxic gas and low smoke emissions during a fire.
Werner Eich, Belden EMEA Marketing manager for Entertainment says: “Transmission of sound, whether to a few people or to thousands in a stadium, always needs to be clear and of the finest speaker quality. Once again, Belden has developed an innovative cable to provide the very best performance.”
In addition to superior performance, new Brilliance® OFHC halogen-free speaker cables have a number of installation advantages over competitive products. These include easier installation with highly stranded copper conductors, easy to pull constructions and easier installation with zone legends for location identification and meter marked cable jackets. The cables can be used inside or outdoors with cold flexibility up to -40°C and their small outer diameter significantly reduces cable space.
Beldden Brilliance® OFHC halogen-free speaker cables are available in four types of unshielded single pair and speaker snake cable. These include 2.5mm² and 4.0mm² constructions, all with 100, 500 and 1000m put-ups. The cables have highly efficient, high purity copper conductors to transmit super quality sound and are twisted and coded for easy identification. In addition, polyolefin insulation, which is better than traditional PVC, provides exceptional audio clarity together with superior high frequency response and extended distance runs. The cables have flexible, black, halogen-free jackets.
