Black Rhodium Said….
Black Rhodium announces the launch of the Cratos mains power cable. Designed for low ‘Transient Phase Distortion' by increasing the thickness of the inner insulation to 1.2mm. The benefit of thicker insulation is that when two electrical conductors carry an electrical current, the magnetic field produced by the current in one conductor affects the resistance of the other conductor. This is known as the ‘Proximity Effect'. Because the loudspeaker load is reactive, the current and voltage in the speaker cable are not in phase and the modulation effect produces a ‘Transient Phase Distortion' signal that distorts sound quality.
By moving the conductors 2.4mm from each other, the magnetic field (which reduces inversely proportionally to the distance) on the other cable is lowered and the ‘Transient Phase Distortion' is less audible. This effect can easily be observed when listening to complex musical signals such as massed choirs and large orchestras.
Cratos is designed for high power amplifiers and power distribution systems and has a continuous current capacity of 15 amps.
The positive and negative cores are connected in opposite directions. Experience shows that when cables are connected this way (and both cables are connected in the same direction) the noise floor between the musical notes lowers. This gives ‘blacker' silences in the interval between musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in music.
Silicone rubber insulation is used because its low dielectric loss ensures extremely low distortion due to dielectric absorption effects in which sound energy is absorbed in the insulation and released at a later interval of time to create highly audible time-smearing distortion.
Features:
Cable manufactured in England
5A rating suitable for source equipment and low power amplifiers
3 core 16 x 0.2mm tinned copper conductors, insulated to UK colour code, twisted for superior noise rejection
Low impedance high cross section conductor wire for superior low frequency response and stereo imaging
Silicone rubber insulation for accurate portrayal of the leading edges and decays in music
Twisted internally along the length of the cable to prevent the loop "aerial" effect to prevent audible distortion to sound quality
Designed for low ‘Transient Phase Distortion' by increasing the thickness of the inner insulation to 1.2mm
Overall Diameter 9mm

Shipping Rates
We calculate your shipping rate based on the total weight of your items and your delivery address. Standard shipping to the UK Mainland (excludes Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands) is free, except where specifically indicated. Don't worry, you'll always see the final shipping charge displayed before you reach the payment step (on the checkout page).
Carriers
We despatch the bulk of our UK mainland items on a 24 hour service. Non-Mainland locations – Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles, the Scottish highlands and Islands, the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland may take a day or so longer. Smaller items are delivered using Royal Mail 24 or special delivery. Larger items are delivered using a courier service such as UPS and occasionally by a Pallet service.
Order Tracking
If a tracking # is provided by the carrier, we will update your order with the tracking information. Please note that some orders will not have tracking numbers.
