The Sound of Absolute Clarity

The Cobalt™ Reference is defined by its neutrality and precision. By lowering the noise floor and ensuring a crisp, clean signal path, it allows your components to breathe.

  • Expansive Soundstage: Experience a wide, superb soundstage filled with nuanced spatial cues.
  • Holographic Imagery: Well-shaped, three-dimensional imagery that places every instrument exactly where it belongs.
  • Balanced Frequency Response: Enjoy high-frequency extension with delicate detail, supported by a rich, full midrange and tight, controlled bass.
  • Pure Musicality: A natural, “organic” sound that remains faithful to the original recording without adding artificial coloration.

Technical Excellence by Design

At the heart of the Cobalt™ Reference is a sophisticated conductor geometry. This cable utilizes Rectangular Solid Core (RSC) high-frequency conductors matched with specially adapted low-frequency conductors to ensure phase-coherent power delivery.

Innovative Grounding

The ground path is more than an afterthought. It features a robust shielding system and 18 AWG solid core conductors fitted with Ceralex® capsules. These capsules are engineered to absorb and dissipate high-frequency noise and EMI/RFI interference before it can reach your sensitive audio components.
