Flare Speaker Cable: Essential Performance Through Fundamental Design
Flare speaker cables achieve exceptional performance through two fundamental principles: independent conductor architecture and air dielectric construction.
Separated Positive and Negative Conductors: Unlike conventional speaker cables where positive and negative run together (twisted or parallel), Flare uses completely independent runs for each polarity. This visible separation serves multiple purposes:
- Reduced mutual coupling: Positive and negative conductors don’t interact electromagnetically, no induced currents, no capacitive coupling between polarities
- Lower cable capacitance: Physical separation minimizes capacitance that can interact with amplifier output stages and speaker crossovers
- Independent field management: Each conductor can be optimized for its own electromagnetic characteristics without compromise
Air Dielectric Construction: Flare’s conductors are configured to maintain air as the primary dielectric, the insulating material between conductor and surroundings. Air has the lowest dielectric constant (1.0) and zero dielectric absorption, meaning:
- No energy storage in insulation: Solid dielectrics (PVC, polyethylene) store and release charge, creating time-domain smearing. Air doesn’t.
- Fastest signal propagation: Velocity of propagation in air is maximum, no dielectric-induced slowing of transient response
- Zero dielectric loss: Solid insulators absorb high frequencies. Air doesn’t, full bandwidth transmission preserved
Integrated BCS: The conductor geometry incorporates M101’s Boundary Condition Stabilizer for RF cancellation, reducing the amplifier switching noise and speaker back-EMF that contaminate the signal path.
What You’ll Hear:
Improved Bass Control: Low cable capacitance means your amplifier maintains damping factor, controlling driver motion rather than the driver’s momentum controlling itself. Bass notes start and stop more precisely.
Clearer High Frequencies: Air dielectric preserves high-frequency content without dielectric absorption. Cymbals, strings, and vocal detail have more natural texture, less electronic dulling.
Better Dynamic Response: Low inductance and capacitance mean cable impedance doesn’t limit transient current delivery. Dynamic peaks arrive with proper impact and speed.
Reduced Background Noise: BCS cancellation of amplifier RF and speaker back-EMF lowers the noise floor. Music emerges from deeper silence.
Improved Spatial Precision: With reduced RF contamination and better high-frequency preservation, spatial cues arrive more accurately. Images lock more solidly with clearer depth perspective.
