A true Reference level pair of TOP sounding speaker cables, complete in factory box with the Synergistic Research IFT / Bi Wire  jumpers.

Integrated Frequency Transmission (IFT): A Better Way to Bi-Wire

In the past, Synergistic Research (and
other cable manufacturers) have “split” a speaker cable’s geometry in
half to provide separate leads for high and low frequency terminations.
On the surface, this seems the most logical choice, and was our
preferred method of bi-wiring for nearly 20 years. Theoretically, this
method for bi-wiring connects the amplifier to the filter halves
(crossover) separately to prevent inter-modulation, generated by one
driver, from influencing the other driver.

However, If you look at the damping
factor that reduces the unwanted signals, you will find that they differ
very little, with or without cables (with 5 or 10 meter long cables for
example). When using a tube amplifier, the cables (in practice) have no
influence at all when dampening the signals from one side of the filter
to the other, because the damping factor is too low already in the
power amp. The signal will slip through to the other driver, despite the
cables. Apart from that, a well designed crossover filter will provide a
certain protection against “leaking” inter-modulation, since each half
of the filter (the crossover in a two-way system) will damp each half of
the frequency range.

Another method of bi-wiring is to run
two different cables in parallel, thus giving the amplifier the ability
to choose separate cables that are especially suitable for each half of
the frequency range. This has been a hallmark of Synergistic Research
cable design, going back to our fist Signature speaker wire: The
Signature No. 2. If you assume that the signal always takes the path of
least resistance, the right path will be chosen automatically.

Disadvantages of The Traditional Bi-Wire Termination

When you bi-wire your loudspeakers, the input of the high and the low
pass filters are fed with different input signals. This difference is a
result of the high and low frequencies being forced to travel different
paths, perhaps through different types of cables, but under all
circumstances through cables that have seen different loads. A tweeter
with a high pass filter has a completely different impedance response
compared to a woofer with a low pass filter!

The drivers do not integrate when their
filter halves (crossovers) are fed with unequal signals. The result is
the generation of phase error that effects the sound and transfer of
phase information to the different drivers in a speaker. This phase
error occurs because there will be non-linearity in the low and high
frequency paths.

What does this sound like? Well,
usually, just as you would expect from physics, it appears as a change
in the reproduction of space and sound staging. The impression after a
week or month is that all recordings sound very much alike.

Integrated Frequency Termination (IFT) Bi-Wire

All Tesla speaker wires, from Vortex through Apex, function as a “lens”
to control electromagnetic inter-modulation. Accelerator through Apex
contain at least one Tricon lens geometry, to precisely control
electromagnetic fluctuations, for perfect phase time transfer. IFT
Bi-Wire ensures that your amplifier “sees” consistent loading, from low
to high frequencies, for sound staging that is as expansive as it is
precise. Low frequencies are further tuned, in series, with high
frequencies, through a transmission line precisely tuned to low
frequency transfer, that exactly match the speaker wire geometry.

Shotgun Bi-Wire vs. TESLA IFT Bi-Wire

One option that does not take advantage of IFT Bi-Wire is a “shotgun”
termination of two parallel speaker wires, terminated to a common set of
spades or bananas at the amplifier end. Obviously this option would
double the cost of bi-wiring your system (when compared to IFT Bi-Wire).
but would it carry higher performance? The simple answer is NO. First,
by separating the high(er) frequencies from low frequencies, the
amplifier sees very different loads, and transfers your music as a
mismatched signal, with significant phase distortion to your speakers.
It is as if you are “focusing” on the upper frequencies with a
wide-angle lens, and focusing on the low frequencies with a telephoto
lens. This presents high frequencies and low frequencies in different
aspect ratios, for a sound stage that sounds “bigger” in the upper
registers than it does in the lower registers, and this then introduces
sound staging problems. A far better option would be to spend the extra
money on a higher end speaker wire (with IFT Bi-Wire), thereby elevating
your systems presentation in an equal and balanced way.

If the manufacturer of your speakers
insists on running separate speaker wires to the high and low frequency
of your speakers binding posts, we can arrange for you to audition two
speaker cables in “shotgun” vs. the equivalent higher end IFT Bi-Wired
speaker wire (of approximately the same value). You can make the final
call as to which bi-wire option delivers higher performance.

IFT Bi-Wire vs. Jumper Cables

So how is IFT Bi-Wire termination different from standard jumper cables
or binding straps? Simple: Jumper cables are rarely tuned to the
frequency range that they are intended to transfer, and are often times
of a much lower quality then the speaker cables they are used with.
Furthermore, jumper cables introduce additional hardware, in the form of
spade lugs or banana plugs, that further degrade the sound. Bi-wire
binding straps are almost always worse then jumper cables, as they are
little more then plated metal of a quality and build that introduces
considerable distortion in the form of harsh highs or muddy lows.

For the purpose of auditioning TESLA
Speaker Wire, many dealers opt for non-IFT Bi-Wired speaker wire models,
and will instead provide you with IFT Bi-Wire Jumpers; identical to the
“hardwired” IFT Bi-Wire speaker cables. Aside from the addition of an
extra set of connector hardware (spade or banana), the performance will
be similar to that of our IFT Speaker Cables.

Element Copper-Tungsten-Silver Speaker Cable with UEF Tuning Circuits

Element Copper Tungsten Silver speaker cables embody the best from
our Element Copper and Element Tungsten models with the addition of
Silver Air Strings for the most balanced and refined performance in the
Element Series. Blind listening tests confirm pure silver when suspended
in an actively shielded air dielectric deliver the most refined sound
of any element.

• Combines the best traits of all three elements, Copper, Tungsten and Silver


• The most balanced performance in the Element Series


• Outperforms any cable from any other manufacturer regardless of price

When silver is combined with copper’s low frequency weight and
tungsten’s holographic portrayal of space you get a cable that embodies
everything without compromise; air, speed, finesse and thunderous low
frequency extension in the most holographic soundfield you have ever
experienced.

Of course with world first technologies like pure tungsten signal
conductors, air dialectics with Active Shielding, system tuning with
Enigma Bullets, and harmonically selected elements like copper, tungsten
and silver, Element CTS outperforms any cable from any manufacturer by a
wide margin; we guarantee it so set up an in home audition today.

As with all Element Series cables start with Grey UEF Tuning Circuit
first and allow the cable to settle in for at least 48 hours before
experimenting with Silver option. If after 48 hours you wish to open up
the sound field and upper registers substitute Silver circuit.
