Kimber Monocle-XL speaker cable

“… this cable manages to deliver superb high frequency resolution without any glare or grain and it is very revealing and open”— Jason Kenedy, the-ear.net

24 wire braid of TC and VS conductors around our X38R stabilizing core. The best of both TC and VS attributes with a lower noise floor. XL versions are ideal for longer lengths or more difficult loads. Expanded braid geometry offers better mechanical and electrical damping as well as extends dynamic range on both ends of the spectrum give you a huge soundstage and precise imaging. All the instruments get a little more elbow room when you move to Summit series speaker cables.

Kimber’s Monocle-XL™ speaker cable, a step up from Monocle-X™, forms the bridge between their traditional woven cables – from 4PR to 12TC – and the more technically-advanced Select range. What you get with Monocle™ is a hybrid of the two designs making for a high-performance cable.

Kimber Monocle-XL utilises a 24 wire braid (Monocle-X™ uses only 16), combining twelve TC and twelve VS conductors. Each wire is manufactured from VariStrand™ copper, ensuring that no particular frequency range dominates. This combination brings the best of both TC and VS attributes, creating a lower noise floor and, as with the Select range of cables, these conductors are then woven around Kimber’s own X38R stabilizing core.

This expanded braid geometry offers better mechanical and electrical damping as well as extending dynamic range on both ends of the spectrum, giving you a huge soundstage and precise imaging. The result of all this technology is a cable which is capable of allowing you to hear more of the full potential from your valued system.
