Ailsa Achromatic Speaker Z/S

Ailsa Achromatic is a sophisticated OCC speaker cable offering discerning audiophiles a true taste of ‘high-end’ performance. Available terminated in Z (Z-plug) or S (spade) versions.

All cables inevitably lose some of the audio signal and/or add their own colourations. Our newest product range, every aspect of the Ailsa family is designed and engineered to reduce this distortion to extremely low levels – meaning you get more of your music with an absolute minimum taken away or added.

Ailsa is the first in our product hierarchy to use high-purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Casting) copper conductors. With a 3.0mm² diameter, the generous conductor cross-section gives superior low-frequency performance, while carefully optimised construction featuring our SSG (Super-Stabilised conductor Geometry) and anti-vibration cottton filler ensures Ailsa is exceptionally transparent to the signal for a cable of this class.

For the dielectric, we use a high-efficiency microporous PTFE which means virtually no ‘smearing’ or other signal degradation.

Our acclaimed low-mass non-conductive Achromatic Z connectors eliminate any possible detrimental effects of magnetic eddy currents, and precision-calibrated cold-weld termination gives a superior connection to conventional solder fixing, with increased signal continuity because of fewer ‘barriers’ created by different materials.
