Van Den Hul The Arctic Speaker Cable (A Pair) Terminated

Description

Van Den Hul The Arctic Audio Speaker Cable Terminated.

Set of two Cables (A Pair for 2 speakers).

 

 

• Cables are high pressure crimped of professional electric crimping tool AIRLOC HIGH PERFORMANCE TERMINATION (for maximum contact surface area).

• Terminated High Quality 24-Gold-Plated Pure Red Copper Airloc SIGMA Banana spring loaded plugs at the both end.

• The ends finished with colour coded Red & Black and marked (gold arrows) directional branded heat shrink sleeves.

 

NOTE: The cables are directional so prior to connecting, make sure that the arrows run from the amplifier to the speakers terminals.

 

AIRLOC a solder-free, airtight perfect fusion between the two metals of cable and plug. This ‘cold weld’ method allows the cable and plug to offer the optimum signal transfer and therefore, better sound quality. It also reduces contact resistance and ensures perfect long-term performance.

 

Van den Hul The Arctic speaker cable is a perfect blend of innovative design and high-quality sound, designed for music enthusiasts who demand exceptional performance without a hefty price tag. Built with renowned Hulliflex® technology and carefully selected materials, Van den Hul The Arctic offers unparalleled sound quality at an attractive price.

 

The Arctic Made with True Transmission technology and free of harmful halogens, this two-conductor hybrid speaker cable delivers exceptional sound quality.

Van den Hul The Arctic is constructed using high-quality oxygen-free copper (OFC) with a dense coating of pure silver and covered with a white Hulliflex® 4 shield, which provides effective insulation and high resistance to damage and harsh environments. Each conductor’s shield has a unique shape, allowing for easy polarity identification.

 

Choose the high quality cable from Van den Hul at a very reasonable price.

 

Van den Hul The Arctic speaker cable produces a clear, detailed, and spacious sound, offering a fresh, airy, and lively presentation compared to warmer cables, thanks to its high-grade silver-coated OFC conductors and advanced Hulliflex insulation, delivering excellent signal integrity, low distortion, and helping speakers “disappear” with precise imaging. 

Key Sonic Characteristics:

Clarity & Detail: Delivers crisp, uncolored sound with noticeable micro-details, making instruments distinct.

Spaciousness & Imaging: Creates a wide, deep soundstage with excellent placement of instruments and vocals, making the audio feel more “alive” and less “blanketed”.

Neutrality: Aims for a balanced, natural presentation, avoiding excessive warmth or brightness.

Dynamic & Lively: Offers a fresh, lighthearted feel, allowing effects and ambiance to “dance” in the room. 

Why it Sounds This Way (Technology):

Conductors: Uses numerous fine strands (147 x 0.16mm) of high-purity, large-crystal Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) coated with pure silver.

Silver Coating: The silver layer enhances conductivity, contributing to the clear, detailed highs and overall transparency.

Hulliflex® 4 Insulation: A durable, chemically stable jacket that prevents signal interference and preserves sonic purity.

True Transmission Technology: A design goal focused on minimal signal loss for cleaner audio. 

 

In Summary: If you’re seeking a speaker cable that brings out detail, offers precise imaging, and provides an open, airy soundstage without sounding cold, The Arctic is designed to deliver a high-fidelity experience, especially considering its relatively affordable price point.

 

The Arctic cable from Van den Hul consists of two groups of 147 x 0.16 mm conductors, made of high-quality oxygen-free copper (OFC), densely plated with pure silver. The total conductor cross-section is 2 x 3.31 mm², which corresponds to approximately AWG 12. The white Hulliflex® 4 outer sheath guarantees excellent insulation and very good mechanical and chemical protection.

 

SPECIFICATION:

• • The ARCTIC is made of 2 conductor groups, each with 147 x 0.16 mm. strands.
• • The total cross-section area per conductor is 3,31 mm²; close to AWG 12.
• • The conductor material is a very high grade large crystal OFC with a dense pure silver coating.
• • The external dimensions are 12.5 x 6,0 mm.
• • The white jacket is made of HULLIFLEX ® 4, a superior insulation material exhibiting a very good mechanical protection and a high chemical stability.
• • The two conductors have different insulator shapes: one is round and the other has two edges with type printing on the flat surface: the most simple polarity finder you can think of.

Van Den Hul Arctic cable offers impressive quality for the price. The high purity silver conductors provide clarity and the HULLIFLEX insulation allows for a level of flexibility that makes this cable ideal for installations.

REGARDING SIGMA PLUGS

We are proud with our new product and we believe it will improve the sound quality of any audio system.We offer designed to fit the 4mm amplifier and speaker terminal socket found on most high end audio separators such as Arcam, Linn, Quad and Naim amplifiers, these 4mm plugs are constructed from a gold plated red copper connector and the cable termination is by CRIMPING.This plugs is available in three different sizes and fits 2.8mm, 3.4mm and 4mm diameter cable and requires crimping with a heavy duty crimping tool to ensure consistently high levels of performance and connectivity regardless of the conductor cross-section, which has a very important effect on the transmission of a smooth signal and very low resistance unlike mostly available Brass plugs.The spring loaded pin section of the plug allows for optimal connection to the speaker or amplifier terminal socket.

 

We use professional electric and manual high quality crimping tools to terminated audio cables and we offer the possibility of terminating our products with these plugs.If you want to terminate your cables yourself you will need a crimping tool or you can contact your local Hi-Fi supplier.

Materials such as audio cables and its connections are a very important link in the entire Hi-Fi audio chain, which is why we decided to introduce new plugs, which are made of red copper and their surface is covered with gold, so that the signal flows clearly and without obstacles on the way.

We know metals such as brass or alloy are very contaminated so we want to explain it simply.

For example: a tube filled with hair restricts the flow of water more than a clean tube of the same shape and size.Likewise, electrons can flow freely and easily through a copper wire, but cannot flow so easily through a steel or brass wire of the same shape and size. The difference between copper and brass is related to their microscopic structure and electron configuration and is quantified by the property called resistivity.

Conductivity refers to the ability of a material to transfer energy. There are different types of conductivity, including electrical, thermal and acoustic conductivity. The most electrically conductive element is pure silver, followed by very close are copper and gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity of all elements and the highest light reflectance.While it is the best conductor, copper and gold are more commonly used in electrical applications because copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.As silver tarnishes, it is less desirable at high frequencies as the outer surface becomes less conductive.

Brass has six times weaker conductivity than copper.

Brass oxides they are hard and highly contaminated, strongly adhering and act as an effective insulator, while copper oxides are softer and conductive. Therefore, connections and terminations of copper wires are almost the best conductor of electricity, unfortunately most of the available plugs on the market are made of brass.

 

Why did we name our plugs Sigma? because electrical conductivity is measured in Siemens per meter (S / m) and is commonly denoted by the Greek letter σ (Sigma).
