PREMIUM QUALITY METALS ACHIEVE THE HIGHEST CONDUCTIVITY AVAILABLE

A common misconception is that the gauge of a speaker wire is all that matters. Heavier is better, right? Wrong. Gauge can make a difference, but testing has taught us that cable design and material quality can have an even greater impact on the sound we hear. That is why we focus on developing the most efficient designs and producing them with the best quality materials available in each price range. For example, the conductors in our least expensive cables are oxygen-free copper and our ultimate cables use the world’s best conductor, Ohno Continuous-Cast® 7 Nines (99.99999%) pure solid silver.

OCC-7N solid silver is the most sonically neutral and revealing conductor in the world.

COMPOSILEX® 3 Insulation

Beyond the advantages of the best conductor materials, our third generation composite insulation, COMPOSILEX 3, preserves the purity of the signal by minimizing triboelectric noise better than any conventional low loss insulation material, including DuPont Teflon®. COMPOSILEX 3 provides rewarding improvements in vividness, focus and dynamic contrast. With these innovations, Wireworld Series 8 cables have advanced the art of reproducing the power and delicacy of music.
