Crayon Speaker Cable CSC-1

The speaker cable that implements the high demands of the CCC-1

The development of the CSC-1 is based on the high standards defined by the CCC-1. The physical implementation of the speaker cable presented new challenges, especially considering the high currents required by speakers. As always in physics, it was necessary to create different test setups to find the optimal design.

Challenges in Implementation – Current and Effects

To minimize skin and proximity effects, the conductor structure was carefully designed. The skin effect causes the current to flow primarily along the surface of the conductor at higher frequencies, which can lead to distortion. The proximity effect, on the other hand, arises from the interactions between adjacent conductors, influencing particularly low frequencies. To counteract these effects, the conductor had to be kept as thin as possible to optimize conductivity and minimize interference.

The Right Amount of Conductors

For the speaker cable, many fine conductors were connected in parallel to efficiently transport the current and reduce the aforementioned effects. However, there is an „ideal“ number of conductors. A too-high number of conductors would degrade overall performance, so after extensive testing, we found the perfect balance.

Excellent Sound Fidelity and Handcrafted Precision

The CSC-1 is the result of intensive research and development. Like all Crayon Audio cables, it is handcrafted to ensure perfect workmanship and maximum sound fidelity. Through precise material selection and construction, we offer a speaker cable that meets the highest audiophile standards.
