Wireworld Introduces Composite Cable Technology With New Flagship Platinum Eclipse Interconnects

[The following is a release from Wireworld]

September 19, 2008

Wireworld has introduced a new flagship audio interconnect cable featuring Composite Dielectric Technology (CDT™) and the world’s first molded carbon fiber connector housing. This cable represents a new addition at the top of the brand's line, rather than an upgrade of an existing model. "Over the years we've come to realize there is no one perfect insulating material," said David Salz, President of Wireworld. "Each has advantages and disadvantages. By applying composite materials technology we've managed to formulate a proprietary dielectric that exceeds what we previously believed was possible. This is easily the finest interconnect cable we've ever heard." Wireworld's Platinum Eclipse interconnect marks the first use of molded carbon fiber in a cable connector. By eliminating the eddy currents and stray field effects generated by conventional metal connector shells while still providing effective shielding, these unique plugs reveal finer details and natural acoustic ambience in the sound. The connectors also utilize silver-clad OFC contacts and Wireworld’s patented silicone rubber tensioning device to provide the lowest contact resistance available. The Platinum Eclipse interconnect’s four flat conductors are made of Ohno Continuous Cast solid silver of the highest purity available, 99.99997% (6N). The internal design is the DNA Helix geometry utilized by the other interconnects in Wireworld’s Eclipse series, however its flat conductors contain substantially more silver than the lesser models, and they are also thinner, which reduces phase shift. The Platinum Eclipse interconnect also utilizes a new innovation that we call Composite Dielectric Technology, which utilizes a proprietary mixture of specialized materials to minimize noise and dielectric interaction more effectively than any conventional insulation material. CDT improves low-level resolution, focus and micro-dynamics to levels beyond the capability of conventional insulation materials. The Wireworld Platinum Eclipse interconnect line will be available in October, in both RCA unbalanced and XLR balanced configurations with prices starting at $2,995 for a one meter pair. Wireworld, which was founded by David Salz in 1992, offers a broad spectrum of very high quality speaker cables, audio and video interconnects, digital audio interconnects, power cords, digital A/V cables, and plasma/LCD control cables. The company has an excellent reputation among audio and home theater enthusiasts for producing high quality cables based on the use of objective perceptual testing, patented designs, premium materials, and exceptional manufacturing quality.
