“Sets the standard in affordable interconnects.” U SA IN M A D E In the 1970s, Ray Kimber discovered that winding his own cable using a specific geometry eliminated much of the noise and interference plaguing audio systems. His lightweight designs claimed an airy sound, tremendous resolution, and outstanding power. Kimber Kable’s handterminated modern designs stay true to these original principles and sound better for it. –The Absolute Sound B 4TC 8TC 12TC KIMBER TC SERIES IS SONIC ECSTASY KIMBER KABLE 4TC, 8TC, 12TC Speaker Cables Any conversation about one of these three cables must include the other two since each is a considerable bargain in their respective price categories. 4TC has received worldwide praise as a phenomenal bang-forthe-buck cable; 8TC is similarly treasured for astonishing power and presence. 12TC, 4TC 5ft (pair) from $185 8TC 5ft (pair) from $299 a larger design, has garnered even more praise. All three are created by weaving a complex braid using identical Teflon-coated VariStrand copper conductors. Any of the TC cables would be at home in the world’s best systems, but thankfully, they’re affordable enough to be used in any setup. 12TC 5ft (pair) from “Tonal neutrality within a very realistic soundstage.” C A –The Absolute Sound A $459 KIMBER KABLE B PBJ Interconnect “Everybody loves PBJ!” This cable has endured for decades because there’s no reason to change it. Three high-quality multi-strand wires in individual Teflon jackets that are then braided together keep the cost down and quality high. Astonishing imaging and tonal balance for the price. 0.5m RCA (pair) from D KIMBER KABLE C Hero Interconnect $167 $96 Silver Streak breathes new life into systems via gorgeous tonal color, impressive clarity, and stellar focus. Its complex geometry uses a single ultra-pure silver conductor to carry the signal and copper conductors for the ground plane, resulting in excellent speed and low-level detail. (Shown with optional WBT connectors.) 0.5m RCA (pair) from KIMBER KABLE Monocle X Speaker Cable KIMBER KABLE BiFocal X Speaker Cable KIMBER KABLE KS6063 Speaker Cable A choice cable, Monocle X touts conductors wound around a proprietary flexible polymer spacer. This technique opens up the electrical properties, delivering better timing and imaging, lowering the noise floor, and increasing the sense of space. Full-range only; bi-wire requires BiFocal model. Designed from the ground-up as an optimal bi-wire cable, BiFocal X is built as two separate cables in a single jacket. Three separate passes through Kimber Kable’s braiding machine ensure high-frequency conductors are electrically and mechanically separated from low-frequency conductors. Uncompromising bi-wire performance for any speaker. Broad-shouldered, muscular, and hugely dynamic, KS6063 is simultaneously capable of brutal transients and the most intimate delicacy. This reference cable is built for reference speakers and delivers unforgettable experiences. The silky smooth copper conductors complement the complex geometry, delivering effortless extension into both extremes. 6ft (pair) from $1,210 6ft (pair) from $2,030 The Absolute Sound Product of the Year 6ft (pair) from $4,415 D Silver Streak Interconnect Rescue any system from the doldrums of bad sound. Built with Kimber Kable’s best copper conductors, Hero offers an enviable combination of wide-open dynamics, outstanding resolution, huge soundstaging, and welcome affordability. 0.5m RCA (pair) from KIMBER KABLE $257 800.449.8333 MUSICDIRECT.COM KS1016 Interconnect Ray Kimber poured more than ten years of research into this cable, imbuing it with a presence and power that nothing below Kimber Kable’s Select Series can match. Ultra-smooth and extended, with silky texture, it beguiles with topto-bottom ease. A tonally neutral, ultimately refined component. The Absolute Sound Product of the Year 0.5m RCA (pair) from $820 KIMBER KABLE PK14 Palladian PowerKord KIMBER KABLE PK-14 Gold PowerKord KIMBER KABLE PK14 PowerKord PK14 Palladian PowerKord uses Kimber Kable’s proprietary Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) tube. Disrupting standing waves within the cable results in jaw-dropping increases in resolution and transparency, as well as vast improvements in dynamic range and tonal accuracy. The massive PK10 PowerKord combined with WattGate audio-grade connectors equals sonic pleasure. It opens up the dynamic range of any component, delivering gobs of current. Prepare for greater detail, better resolution, and smoother overall tonal balance. PK14 brings Kimber Kable’s trademark clarity and power to AC cords. WattGate power connectors and Kimber’s specially optimized copper create a rich-sounding, flexible cable. Ideally suited to source gear, preamps, and smaller power amplifiers, PK14 offers performance far above its price point. 4ft (15A) from $1,308 4ft (15A) from $398 4ft (15A) from 152 CABLES KIMBER KABLE 60-DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE* $228 CABLES 153
