Ricable INVICTUS Reference Speaker Cable

Reference Sound

We started working on an improvement of Invictus Speaker when we realised that the potential of our best cable Speaker could grow. We carried out a long and meticulous work, based on the hexagonal geometry that has already given great satisfaction. Despite our good feelings, we didn’t think we would reach a level where we could call our new product a Reference in cables Speaker . The sound performance is characterised by a marked improvement in dynamics and control, full-bodied and firm bass, well defined, always a great feeling of cleanliness and no listening fatigue. The voices well separated from the musical fabric allow to reach a new level of soundstage, with all the instruments well placed on their respective sound planes.

When the Substance does the Difference

From an aesthetic point of view little has changed, the Reference can be recognised from its predecessor Invictus by its larger size and the non-magnetic/shielded carbon cable separation block, but in substance it is a completely different cable. The conductors, still in 7N Marc copper, have increased from 970 to 1,038 wires, which make up, together with the polymer-insulated central conductor, each 7.6 mm2 hexaphonic conductor. Thereal innovation is in the double dielectric, made from two newly developed R-TEC polymers, which significantly improves the dielectric constant and, consequently, the flow of the audio signal in the form of a low-voltage electrical signal, and at the same time enhances the functionality of the semiconductor (RNR Noise Reduction), which is also improved.

L’Innovation merges with the tradition

An improved Germanium semiconductor (RNR technology Ricable Noise Reduction) on all conductors reduces background noise and hiss generated by audio media. The conductors are in the traditional Hexaphonic Geometry with as many as 1,038 0.08 mm wires structured in triple twisted on a polymer insulated centre conductor. Another important step has been taken in terms of insulation and shielding. We have introduced a new insulating material into the cable, in combination with the treated cotton. This operation allowed us to further strengthen the double shielding, without altering the electrical characteristics of the conductors, thus further increasing the degree of neutrality and transparency in sound reproduction.
