Transparent Audio

 
Perhaps the most frequently overlooked, yet most important link in any audio system is the cabling. At no other time is the musical signal traveling through your system more susceptible to distortion or interference than when it is passing through your cables.


Cables
have the crucial responsibility of transmitting musical signal from component to component, and ultimately to your speakers, without distortion, deletion, or unwanted noise. Because many inferior cable designs can create tonal imbalances or obscure resolution, at Sound By Singer, we carefully audition every cable we sell to ensure that it is of the utmost quality. We offer a select variety, coupled with our special brand of expertise. You can be assured that we'll have the right cable for you and your system.

With so many cables, how do I what's right for me and my system?

Just as Audio has become highly advanced and specialized in function, so have the respective cabling required to connect them. For example, consider the high-speed transmission of digital data which might occur between a DVD player's output and the AC-3 input on the surround processor.
Digital information is special because it is not a continuous wave, it is actually rapid bursts of pulses. These pulses can be transmitted in speeds up to 192,000 times per second! The timing of these pulses is critical. Therefore digital cable is specialized to ensure that all the bits of data are transmitted so that the signal gets to the right place at the right time.

And of course, Video. With the advent of High Definition TeleVision (HDTV) and the resolution potentials of DVD Video sources, getting the right cable for you video system couldn't be more critical. The Bandwidth (meaning the frequency range) for video is very wide, and as we push the limits of resolution, bandwidth requirements will only increase.

Realizing full resolution requires the correct cables. High resolution images must be broadcast using multiple signals. For example, an RGB (Red Green Blue) signal is broadcast using 5 discrete signals on 5 wires. Each wire must be identical and transmit its signal absolutely precisely. Otherwise, when the 5 signals are combined to form the final image, there will be color anomalies, "ghosts", or even an unconverged picture.

If you find this a bit confusing, that's O.K., that's what we're here for. We work hard staying abreast of technology as it evolves so that you don't have to worry. At Sound By Singer, we know how to select the right cable for any application. Really, that's all you need to know, just sit back and enjoy your system!
