Clarus Cables Aqua MKII Audio Cable

The triple-balanced design is primarily about noise rejection. By using three distinct conductors, the cable effectively cancels out electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise, ensuring that the signal reaching your amplifier is as clean and quiet as possible.

These cables are designed for components with XLR inputs and outputs, which are standard on high-end preamplifiers and power amplifiers. If your receiver has balanced XLR connections, they will work perfectly; otherwise, they are not compatible with standard RCA jacks.

Different frequencies travel differently through a wire. By using multiple conductor shapes and gauges, the Aqua MKII optimizes the path for both high and low frequencies, resulting in a more balanced, accurate, and detailed sound across the entire spectrum.

PCOCC (Pure Crystal by Ohno Continuous Casting) is a high-purity copper process that minimizes crystal boundaries within the wire. This reduces signal distortion and improves conductivity, allowing for a more transparent and faithful transmission of your audio signal.

The Clarus Aqua MKII cables are sold as a pair, making them ready to connect a single stereo component like a preamplifier to a power amplifier.

While the double shielding is essential for blocking interference, it does make the cable slightly stiffer than standard, unshielded cables. You will want to ensure you have enough clearance behind your equipment to allow for a gentle bend without putting strain on the connectors.
