SILVER LINE MK2

Interconnect cables Featuring our 'Time Aligned' conductor design. 

INTRO: Sonic Art SILVER LINE cables were a culmination of 2 years of research & testing back in 1994 into signal transfer, metallurgy and design along with a lot of listening! Our cables are a well engineered bargain featuring some of the best materials and construction methods available, with the majority of our budget put into the product where it should be, the benefits going to the end user.

NEW IN 2023! SILVER LINE MK2 has finally been released after much testing over the covid years. The design has undergone transformation utilising design tech from the Reference series cable to create a new killer budget interconnect that belies its humble origins. Some of the comments from the testers of this new cable included…

 “are you going to redesign the REFERENCE Series now? As this new SILVER LINE is getting very close in performance”

• Why choose Silver? Because it offers excellent conductivity, and if the metallurgy is correct, a sweet and detailed sound.

• Why Silver & Copper? Pure Silver is soft, it requires impure metals for strength and can often sound bright and thin when combined with the most common hardeners. Combine it with Hi purity copper and you have the best of both worlds.

• An audio signal is what? It is a collection of electrical signals of varying frequencies, and the basic idea of a cable is to provide a path for this signal which DOES NOT ALTER the signal. DESIGN centred on physics principles of electrical conductivity combined with complete purity of metallurgy is I feel, a logical way to provide this path.

• Why choose TEFLON? Dielectric quality is an important factor when designing cable. The lowest loss insulator available is VIRGIN PTFE (Pressure Cast TEFLON), Teflon unfortunately is also the most expensive, which you could surmise is why many manufacturers avoid using it. Our TEFLON is the highest MILSPEC grade available and exhibits the lowest signal loss of any insulator besides air.

• SOLDER: We use a MilSpec Silver Solder or CARDAS Quad Eutectic Silver Solder. These are manufactured specifically for termination of Silver wire. If you attempt to solder silver with regular Tin/Lead solders you get absorption of silver particles causing poor joint performance and degradation of signal. MilSpec & Cardas Silver solder is designed to suppress silver absorption from the surface of the silver wire leaving a joint that is pure and provides the best conductivity from solder possible.

NOTE: Where we use Polyester or PE sheathing over our cables, it is purely for Anti Static &/or dressing properties and is not a structural part of the cable.

Have you ever noticed how cable manufacturer’s have a range of much cheaper models, all slotted in under their most expensive ‘Flagship” cable?  We on the other hand produce one model of RCA and Speaker Cable, and one Reference Range, both with Hi-Tech engineering and materials. We keep our marketing and advertising costs low, allowing us to price our cables way below our competitors Flag Ship models, yet compete with them performance wise.

All Sonic Art cables are hand assembled in Melbourne AUSTRALIA to exacting standards.

Our cables produce a smooth transparent soundstage with excellent detail, placement and depth, a lack of harshness and grain immediately noticeable. Pace, rhythm and timing are a key factor to an exciting enveloping musical experience, Sonic Art cables give you just that!

SILVER LINE MK2 Interconnect Specifications:
