van den Hul THE GOLDWATER entry-level speaker cable ready-made with banana plugs

VAN DEN HUL THE GOLDWATER (HALOGEN FREE) TWIN-LEAD CONSTRUCTION SPEAKERS CABLE

fully assembled with banana plugs/lamellar or fork spade plugs on both sides

More environmentally protected version of the Clearwater

The GOLDWATER is a special version of our The CLEARWATER twin line loudspeaker cable. Sonically this cable is a great product with a well balanced overall quality. There is no harshness and the spatial reproduction is superior.

In addition to its HULLIFLEX ® material jacket’s excellent impenetrability to environmental chemical agents, which after years of permanent exposure would be able to attack its Matched Crystal OFC strands through their extra dense defensive Silver coating, the extra embedded Gold colored filler material assures maximum protection: by exhibiting excellent reflective properties to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun, any corrosive chemical activity on the conductors is reduced to a minimum.

The GOLDWATER is especially intended for use as a twin line loudspeaker cable in areas with an increased corrosion activity such as industrial, coastal and humid tropical areas. Due to its maximum corrosion protection The GOLDWATER is excellently suited for use in permanent professional, commercial and industrial distribution setups such as church sound systems and shopping mall, airport and alike music distribution systems as well as in car hi-fi applications.

As with all cabling in corrosive environments, proper care should be paid to seal all cable ends against air penetration; (contaminated) air tends to flow in and out of cables due to each day’s temperature variations.

Apart from its jacket’s extra protective Gold colored filler material and the extra dense silver layer on the conductors, the cable design doesn’t differ from our The CLEARWATER. Besides its UV protective function, the Gold color cosmetically works out very nice.

More information and recommendations

Running-in period: in our experience, speaker cables also need a certain running-in period in order to achieve optimal quality. This sounds very questionable at first, but make your own judgment on this. We would be happy to receive your feedback.

Commissioning: If you are using the cable for the first time, it is best to first clean all contact points with a suitable cleaning agent (e.g. alcohol from the pharmacy).

Laying the cables: If it is possible for you, lay the cables in a mirror image and at a distance from the mains cables, power supply units and power strips.

Contact optimisation: In order to create the best possible contact, we recommend van den Hul's contact agent THE SOLUTION. Available here in the shop.

Running direction: For the perfectionists among you, B+T hifi has marked the side of the speaker cable that is connected to the amplifier.
