Tonik RCA/XLR Interconnect Cable

“Ray’s designs are so effective that Sony tapped him to provide cables for their recent high-res Walkman relaunch.” – Gear Patrol, The 8 Best Vinyl Accessories

Like the first tone of a scale, the Kimber Tonik interconnect provides the foundation of truly accurate performance and value. Through the use of Kimber Kable’s legendary tri-braid field geometry, VariStrand, ultra-pure copper conductors and a special recipe PE dielectric, the Tonik allows music to flow with power, smoothness and harmonic richness. Tonik single-ended uses their Ultratike™ RCA type connector. Tonik balanced features “studio grade” XLR connectors with silver plated contacts.

Back in the early 1970s, Ray Kimber discovered that winding his own cable using a specific geometry eliminated much of the noise and interference plaguing audio systems. He created lightweight, flexible designs with an open airy sound, tremendous resolution, and outstanding power that conventional cables lack. While the 40-year-old company’s range of offerings has exponentially grown, Kimber stays true to its original principles. Complex cable geometries are still made in-house in Ogden, Utah, where the cables are hand-terminated by dedicated professionals. Every Kimber Kable deserves to be on your short list.
