Van Den Hul THE SKYLINE HYBRID (HALOGEN FREE)
Banana Plugs not included
The SKYLINE HYBRID is an elegant small twin conductor loudspeaker cable with outstanding qualities.
The SKYLINE HYBRID is a low priced member of our AWG 14 twin-lead loudspeaker cable range which consists of The GOLDWATER, The CLEARWATER, The SNOWLINE and The SKYLINE HYBRID.
Description
The SKYLINE HYBRID is the only Hybrid cable in this range:
Each lead combines 19 high purity Oxygen Free Copper strands with a coating containing our Linear Structured Carbon ®;
This combination of metal and carbon (hybrid technology) has excellent properties when it comes to resolution and neutrality, and therefore is standard applied in all of our heavier loudspeaker cables.
The SKYLINE HYBRID has been designed to be less flexible than its above mentioned colleagues, reflecting its aim to be used in more permanent high quality loudspeaker wiring applications.
The SKYLINE HYBRID is 8.5 mm. wide and 3.4 mm. thick.
Each of its two 2.04 mm² conductors exhibit a resistance of 0.84 Ohm/100 m.
The cable’s jacket is made of sky-blue coloured HULLIFLEX ® 3, a robust halogen free material excellently capable of shielding the copper conductors from the chemically threatening outside world.
The cable’s sky-blue color quite accurately represents its sonic character: as clear as a cloudless blue sky.
The insulation of both conductors has a different shape: one is round and the other has two edges with type printing on the flat surface: the most simple polarity finder you can think off. Type printing at 25 cm. (10″) distance facilitates cutting of lengths.
Caring for your Speakers and Amplifiers
To Keep your equipment safe these are some best practices to note. Please be advised that this is only to reduce the risk of misuse and is not an exhaustive list.
Speakers
- Speaker terminals are marked red and black, ensure your amplifier to the speakers are wired on the same colours
- Ensure no loose speaker wire from the red touches a loose wire from the black as this will lead to a short circuit and damage either the speaker, the amplifier or both.
- Not all speakers are designed to play at max volume, kindly consider the pairing of your amplifier and speakers
- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
- adding a surge protector can assist with power dips which are likely to damage your devices. Isotek and Furman are industry standard.
- Dusty environments can sometimes lead to accumulation of dust in the electronic components that might affect heat regulation
