Cardas HP Clear (2 x 4m) custom

The Clear Speaker Cable is the result of years of intense refinement on all aspects of the design. The Clear Speaker Cable is perfect for most combinations.

Compression Forging

Clear speaker cables are terminated using a two-step, solder-free compression die forging process. This video shows veteran Cardas terminator Gary Dawson terminating a Clear speaker cable.
