Sonic ART ‘ZEN’  Vario-core speaker cable

ZEN  is how we would wish to feel when we sit down in front of our audio system and immerse ourselves in the music….

ZEN  is Sonic Art’s new hand made speaker cable for 2025, borne from listening to various speaker cables over the past 2 years, cables that retail for up to $7500 a set, cables with big names and big reputations. We didn’t set out to beat these mega cables, the aim was to meet them on the playing field and hold our own, get as close to them as we could, and at the same time remove a zero from the price!

Most of us are not in the position to spend thousands of dollars on a set of speaker cables. We want a good level of performance, one that gets close to the megabuck cables but at a sane price. The only way to get this is to look at small boutique manufacturers who don’t have the responsibility for dozens of employees or spend a huge percentage of their budget on marketing and promotion. Sonic Art is small, specialised, and able to spend time developing a quality cable without huge costs to do so.

ZEN  is a copper cable, I use Japanese copper, the Japanese have an intimate relationship with audio, particularly analogue, and they produce some very elegant raw materials. I have gone back to pure copper for speaker cable as I am looking for that more intimate view into the music, I wanted a cable that will suit every system, one that is extended at both ends of the frequency spectrum yet smooth, the micro detail is still there, but the sound is more fleshed out, solid transparency? We all know how hard it is to describe what we hear, ZEN has so far shown a very detailed yet analogue musicality in the systems it has been tested with, from conventional driver speakers to electrostatics, the result has been the same.

ZEN  features eight conductors per channel, four heavier gauge and four lighter gauge giving us 7mm² per terminal, the conductors are copper! You wont find a millon nines, PCOCC or any other fancy designation used to sell expensive cabling, we chose a high purity Japanese made copper wire with a smooth detailed sound. Insulated with high grade Polyethylene, each set of 4 conductors feature a patterned twist, each the two twisted conductor sets are lightly twisted together, then housed in the best USA made antistatic UV stable hi temp polyester sheath. Beautiful machined anodised end caps finish the assembly, they allow the twisted conductor sets to exit the sheath neatly. MilSpec heatshrink provides colour coding & protection for the exposed conductor sets.

Termination is made with ‘THE BULLET’ gold plated beryllium copper shell banana plugs amplifier end, and SONIC ART Gold plated Copper Spades speaker. Of course we can build the cable with whichever connectors at whichever end you need! Simply add notes when you order and we will adjust the cable design and pricing accordingly.

Sound? Open, very detailed but not bright, deep bass response that remains tight, leading edge attack is very apparent, the cable has good PRAT (pace rhythm & timing) and a wide stage with well defined instrument placement and layering. It’s a very good performing cable for the money!
