Have you ever thought that the strength of a chain is defined by it's weakest link? Can you dig it? OK, an example: you have a super head unit, an expensive amp and a set of drop dead components. Are you expecting pure sound? Yes, you are. Well, you can forget about it if you're using some crappy RCA interconnects or speaker cables from the '67 DIY am-radio kit, that you found in the attic next to your grand-grand-grand father's WWI uniform. So, get rid of all the weak links with Art Sound installation accessories.

 

  RCA cables
 

 

Lets take a closer look at our interconnects. We manufacture four basic models, that, as we think of it, can satisfy any customer, depending on his needs.

For entry level we offer our AS560 series cables Their rugged design assures reliability and long term performance. Twisted pair technology together with mylar foil shield guards the signal from vicious outer interference. OFC copper ensures free current flow along the wires. Brilliant blue transparent outer jacket protects the wire from heat, oil, gas, water etc.

AXR series cables are heavy duty single channel models. A twisted OFC pair is shielded with mylar foil. Solid connector provides a super tight fit for the cable. A pair of strong PVC cords run along the cable. They dramatically improve the performance of the cable owing to their low permitivity and add some extra strength to the construction.

AXT cables are more sophisticated. Two twisted OFC pairs are double shielded. First, there's a special drain wire, that is connected at one side to the signal ground. Second, there's a mylar foil shield. High quality connectors imply barrels of non-magnetic gun metal and gold plated connectors.

AXTF cables are much alike the AXT - no wonder, it's a four channel modification, that comes in very handy at most applications (e.g. a head unit with two line outputs and a four channel amp)

AXQ is an advanced interconnect for serious installations. Massive connectors provide really tight fix for the cable. Barrels of non-magnetic gun metal withstand corrosion and provide superior shielding for the most noise-sensitive parts of the interconnect. Underneath the outer durable polyurethane jacket lies the second insulation PVC layer. Each twisted pair is individually shielded with mylar foil and a tinned copper drain wire. Don't forget that two twisted pairs are twisted in a pair too - yes, it may seem a little complicated, but this helps increase common mode rejection capability of the cable.

AXZ series cables are the most sophisticated among Art Sound interconnects. These are single channel cables that implement all the tricky things to fight deadly noise interference and distortion. Collet RCA connector provides easy connection and super tight fit. Barrels of non-magnetic gun metal withstand corrosion and provide superior shielding for the most noise-sensitive parts of the interconnect. Underneath the stylish "snakeskin" protective boot is a serious set of defense lines. Outer polyurethane jacket protects the cable from environmental mishaps. Braided copper shield underneath provides superior noise blocking. The inner layer, made of a flexible material with low capacitance, minimizes degradation of the signal from dielectric absorption. The conductor bundles are geometrically arranged in a spiral twisted pair to increase common mode rejection. Additionally the cable contains an independent twisted drain wire, wrapped around conductor twisted pair. To ensure proper shielding, the twister pair with a drain wire are entirely covered with mylar foil. There you have it. By the way, do you still think wires are simple?

  Speaker cables
 

 

At Art Sound we know, that what you hear from your loudspeaker depends a lot on the quality of the speaker cable you use. That is why we use only the best materials and imply finest technologies for cable manufacturing. Only 36 gauge strands of pure electrolytic grade OFC (oxygen free) copper are used for conductor bundles. Models vary with design and gauge to suit any system requirements.

 

  Power distribution

 

 

Power Cables

Powerful car stereo systems require adequate energy supply. For example, a system with total power reaching 500 Watts (not a big one, really) can draw up to 70 Amperes from your battery. If you use "just a wire" to hook up your amp, you can say so long to your car - the risk of burning it to ashes increases rapidly. A thin wire transferring current tends to warm up - the bigger the current the faster it gets hot. When the wire gets hot, it's resistivity increases - the more the resistivity the faster the wire gets hot (oops, not again!). Finally it will end up burning wit a nice bright red flame. God save your poor car. Any ways out? Yes. Use a wire big enough to handle this current without warming up. We have the right power cable for you. Art Sound cable guages ranging from 1/0 to 18 AWG could suit any request. Bright transparent coating colors will make your install look really cool.

 

 

Power Connections

To make easy and secure connections that provide superb current transfer and reliability we manufacture different kinds of connectors, fused and unfused distribution bloks, battery clamps, fuseholders, circuit breakers and terminals. You can design and build a system of any level head to toes (better to say "plus to minus" in our case) using Art Sound installation accessories.

 

 

Capacitors

When you're heavy into bass, your amp needs loads of "fast" power. Sometimes instantaneous current draw can exceed 100 Amps. Do you think your battery or your alternator can withstand these surges? No, of course. So the bass gets muddy, your headlights start blinking to the rhythm - isn't it a familiar situation? It's time to install a cap. A capacitor, installed near to the amp, can deliver more than 400 Amps in no time into the amp's power source on first demand. It filters out AC ripple/hash and offers greater bass transients and wider dynamics. Now the bass is tight and you don't have to explain: "you see, Officer… ugh… I don't know what's with my headlights…"
We have a few models, that will suit most of the systems. And especially for the lazy guys we have a cap with a built in controller and a digital meter, that is in fact the easiest model to install and use
