The Clarus Audiophile Collection

Ultimate-Performance Audio Cables, Power Cables, Power Conditioners, and DACS for Audiophiles

An audiophile is a person who endeavors in their home to enjoy, as directly as possible, a faithful reproduction of an original musical experience. The system is secondary. If a system is doing its part, the system is sonically invisible – adding nothing, taking nothing away from the original performance.

In the spirit of the true audiophile, Clarus is proud to offer analog and digital audio interconnects, speaker cables, power cables, power conditioners, and DACs designed by and for this unique breed of music lover. Leveraging the talents of celebrated cable designer Jay Victor, the Clarus Audiophile Collection features a stunning array of patented and patent-pending technologies, constructed with the finest metallurgy and materials.

But they didn't create Clarus for its visual splendor or even for its technology. Clarus doesn’t do it to be the first, the most expensive, or even the most critically acclaimed. They do it because they love music. Clarus love it so much that we created conduits to bring us closer to the original musical performance than ever before possible.

The Expert Behind Clarus Cable Designs

Jay Victor, the engineering genius behind Clarus cables, brings unparalleled expertise to the development of Clarus analog, digital, speaker, and power cables. With around 50 patents for innovative cable geometry, Jay’s extensive background includes over a decade of intensive engineering work on x-ray cables, wire harnesses, proprietary connectors, and scientific test instruments. His deep knowledge and experience are the driving forces behind the exceptional performance and revolutionary design of Clarus cables, making them a top choice for audiophiles worldwide.

Pursuing Balance and Neutrality in Sound

Clarus cables are meticulously crafted to deliver the finest details, rich overtones, and a full dynamic range while creating a vivid, three-dimensional soundstage. However, the cornerstone of Clarus design is achieving a high degree of balance, ensuring the sound remains as authentic as live music.

Low Frequencies: Defined, extended, and tight.

Mid Frequencies: Full and warm, true to life.

High Frequencies: Extended, but never overly bright or harsh.

When balance is compromised, the music can become harsh, monotonous, and spatially constrained. Clarus cables are engineered to transmit signals across the acoustic frequency range with true fidelity, providing a clear path for each frequency range while preserving the integrity of the musical signal.

The ultimate goal of Clarus cable designs is to achieve perfect balance and neutrality - adding nothing, subtracting nothing from the music.

Achieving Balance and Clarity Through Decades of Innovation

At Clarus, cable design is the result of decades of meticulous experimentation and rigorous listening tests. Unlike many high-end audio cables that rely solely on a mix of solid round copper conductors, Clarus cables are engineered with a deep understanding of how different wire gauges influence sound quality.

Extensive listening tests reveal that conductor size directly impacts frequency response:

Large Gauge Conductors: Deliver powerful bass but often at the expense of muted high frequencies.

Medium Gauge Conductors: Offer a balanced mid-range but can lack in both bass depth and high-frequency clarity.

Fine Gauge Conductors: Excel in reproducing high frequencies, yet tend to fall short in bass and mid-range performance.

These auditory differences, while debated in their cause, are often attributed to the “Skin-Effect,” a phenomenon theoretically beyond the audio range but practically observed during listening. This understanding led Jay Victor, the driving force behind Clarus, to explore how not just the size but the shape of the conductor can shape sound quality.

Jay Victor's innovations, protected by multiple patents, form the foundation of Clarus cable design. By carefully considering both the gauge and shape of conductors, Clarus cables achieve a unique balance and clarity that stands out in the world of high-fidelity audio.

Distinctly Different Conductor Types

Uniquely Clarus

he exceptional performance of Clarus cables is rooted not just in the size of each conductor or its arrangement within the cable, but also in the innovative shape of the conductors themselves. Traditional round conductors are susceptible to the "skin effect," where magnetic flux concentrates the signal in the center, thereby supporting bass frequencies but choking off higher frequencies. Clarus has taken a unique approach to address this issue.

By using flat conductors, Clarus eliminates the magnetic center, which can prevent the concentration of low frequencies and offers a distinct sonic response. In listening tests, flat conductors have shown to excel in reproducing the mid-range with remarkable accuracy. High frequencies, which travel along the surface of the conductor, are best preserved by removing the conductor's center. Clarus achieves this by spiral-wrapping an ultra-thin copper foil over a non-conductive core, creating a flexible tube with both inside and outside surfaces.

Clarus' patented analog audio and speaker cables incorporate three distinctly different conductor shapes. Each conductor is individually insulated to prevent any coloration caused by interaction with adjacent frequency ranges, ensuring that every detail of the music is delivered with unparalleled clarity and fidelity.

This approach to conductor design sets Clarus apart, offering a sound that is distinctly different and uniquely Clarus.

Clarus Cable’s Purposeful Design

For Superior Audio Performance

At Clarus, every cable is purposefully crafted to meet its specific audio function, resulting in unique variations in geometry, gauge, and materials across different cables. This precise design process ensures that each cable delivers optimal performance for its intended use.

The selection of conductor shapes and gauges is a critical aspect of Clarus cable design, requiring extensive listening tests to achieve the perfect balance. Whether designing digital, subwoofer, or power cables, Clarus engineers carefully mix conductors to meet the unique requirements of each cable type.

Through meticulous engineering, years of rigorous testing, and continuous listening evaluations, Clarus cables are engineered to dramatically elevate audio clarity. The resulting sound is exceptionally open, transparent, and true to the original recording, making Clarus cables the top choice for audiophiles seeking superior sound quality.

Clarus Uses the Purest Copper Available

For Exceptional Audio Quality

Clarus designs its cables with discerning audiophiles in mind, choosing materials that deliver the highest quality sound. After extensive listening tests, Clarus selected copper for its analog cables due to its warm, natural tonal quality. To achieve the best possible performance, Clarus uses the purest form of copper available: Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC).

PCCC is produced through a unique heated mold extrusion process that creates long, single-crystal copper strands. This copper is directional, free of impurities, flexible, corrosion-resistant, and has low electrical resistance, with structurally perfect non-crystal boundaries. These properties make PCCC ideal for delivering pure, high-fidelity sound.

While silver conductors are known for favoring high frequencies, they can sound overly bright in analog cables. However, due to the specific demands of digital audio, Clarus incorporates ultra-pure silver plating to lower resistance and dramatically enhance signal transfer. The result is a smooth, dynamic sound that remains fluent across all frequencies.

By combining the best of copper and silver, Clarus cables offer audiophiles an unparalleled listening experience with clarity, warmth, and dynamic range.

State-of-the-Art Terminations

For Superior Signal Transfer

Clarus Mark II cables, including Balanced Audio, AES/EBU, Single-Ended RCA, Digital Audio, Subwoofer, Speaker, and Power cables, are expertly terminated in the USA using patented connector designs that incorporate cutting-edge materials. These advanced terminations ensure optimal performance and reliability for discerning audiophiles.

The signal contacts in Clarus cables are made from high-purity, high-conductivity tellurium (TE) copper, known for its very low resistance and superior sound quality. Additionally, the use of lightweight, springy, and highly conductive beryllium (BE) copper ensures a solid contact with minimal signal loss, enhancing the overall audio experience.

The Clarus Mark II series delivers improved signal transfer, resulting in enhanced sound quality and long-term reliability, making it the ideal choice for audiophiles seeking state-of-the-art performance from their audio systems.
