It‘s hard to believe, but nearly a year has passed since I last had the chance to visit my favourite audio center. And indulge in one of my favourite activities—testing out a new audio cable. You might be wondering, why the long wait? Well, the truth is, nothing new or groundbreaking has hit the shelves in all that time. But now, the moment I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! There’s not just something new to test—there’s something truly unique. This isn’t just another product launch; it’s an exciting innovation that promises to elevate the audio experience in ways I can’t wait to explore, and at last something new!
Something new
The new product named the Matrix black 2 is a power cable. Designed with cutting-edge materials and innovative engineering that promises to deliver superior sound quality. It’s built to minimise signal loss and interference, providing an incredibly pure and dynamic audio experience. Some claim it even enhances clarity, making every note and detail more vivid, as if you’re hearing your favorite tracks for the first time.
What makes this cable unique is its combination of advanced shielding technology and precision craftsmanship. Whether you’re an audiophile or a casual listener, this new cable is designed to take your sound system to the next level. And I can’t wait to put it to the test and see how it stands up to its bold promises!
A Unique cable
What makes this audio cable truly unique is its revolutionary design and the technology packed into it. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Advanced Materials: The cable is crafted from ultra-pure copper plated conductors, known for their exceptional conductivity. This ensures minimal signal loss, resulting in a clearer, more precise sound. Some versions even incorporate graphene, which adds durability while enhancing audio transmission.
- Multi-Layer Shielding: Unlike standard power cables, this one features multiple layers of shielding to combat electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This means a cleaner signal with virtually no distortion, allowing your audio to shine with pristine clarity.
- Noise Isolation Technology: One standout feature is its ability to filter out micro-vibrations and external noise. This tech is often found in high-end, professional equipment, but it’s been engineered into this consumer-level cable for the ultimate sound purity.
- Directional Audio Flow: Some versions even claim to offer directional signal flow, which optimizes the sound depending on the direction of the audio transmission. This is a rare feature, designed to give you the absolute best listening experience.
- Aesthetic Design: On top of performance, it doesn’t shy away from looking sleek. With a premium, braided outer layer for durability and an aesthetically pleasing design, it complements any high-end audio setup.
Bass improvement
These unique features combine to offer a power cable that doesn’t just transmit sound—it enhances the entire audio experience, making music sound richer, deeper, and more detailed than ever before. And yes, this can indeed improve bass response, although not in the way that a new set of speakers or an amplifier might. Here’s how it can enhance the bass:
- Better Signal Integrity: By reducing signal loss and interference, the cable ensures that the low-frequency sounds (which make up the bass) are transmitted more accurately and cleanly. This can result in a tighter, more defined bass, without the muddiness that can sometimes occur with standard cables.
- Noise Reduction: Thanks to its advanced shielding and noise isolation technology, the cable minimizes external noise and interference that can degrade bass performance. This results in cleaner, punchier bass, allowing those deep frequencies to really stand out without distortion.
- Fuller Soundstage: Improved clarity in the audio signal helps every part of the frequency range, including bass, come through more distinctly. A high-quality cable ensures that the bass feels more present, giving the entire soundstage a fuller and more immersive quality.
While the cable won’t magically increase the power or volume of the bass, it does allow your sound system to reproduce bass more faithfully. You’ll hear more texture and depth in those lower frequencies, which makes a big difference, especially for music genres that rely heavily on bass, like electronic, rock, or hip-hop.
Amplifier
The Rotel X3 series 2 is an outstanding amplifier and does everything one would expect from an amplifier in the same class. The details and variables of the Rotel’s performance should not deflect from the fact that the amplifier is a tremendous performer. And possesses the same confidence-inspiring build and engineering the brand has become famous for. And comes Highly Recommended.
Loudspeakers
The loudspeakers chosen were the latest for the UK based company Acoustic energy, and named the Corinium. The loudspeaker had about 100 hours of playing time on them and were just about burned in. And comes highly recommended.
Location
The cable testing held at Garso Namai, Kauno g. 31, 03215 Vilnius, Lithuania. Tel (8-690) 22322, and always a pleasure to test in their facilities.
Testing
As always, the very first step in any testing session is to get the coffee pot going. There’s something about that ritual that sets the tone—coffee in hand, minds clear, and ready to dive into the world of sound. Once the coffee was brewing, we gathered around to plan which tracks we would use to put the cable to the test. The anticipation was palpable, knowing we were about to experience something truly new.
With the system warming up in the background, we sipped our coffee, discussing the nuances of each track we had lined up. Finally, everything was ready. We selected the first track, and before the music had even fully unfolded, it was clear: this cable was different, dramatically so. It only took a second to realize we were in for something special. The clarity was astounding. Sounds that had previously felt buried in the mix now leaped out with vibrant precision. Instruments seemed to take on new life, with each note sharper and more defined than ever before. It wasn’t just better—it was revelatory.
As the track continued, our excitement grew. We found ourselves exchanging glances, all silently acknowledging that we were hearing things we had never noticed in our countless previous sessions with the same music. The bass had a tighter, more defined presence, while the midrange felt open and expansive. Treble details sparkled without becoming harsh, creating an incredibly balanced soundstage that enveloped the room.
We spent the next two hours fully immersed in the music, playing track after track, trying different genres and tempos. With each piece, the results were more impressive than we had anticipated. The Matrix Black 2 Power Cable didn’t just deliver—it surpassed our expectations. From delicate acoustic arrangements to heavy electronic basslines, the system performed flawlessly, providing a richness and depth we hadn’t experienced before.
Conclusion
By the end of our session, we were left not just impressed, but amazed. This wasn’t just an improvement in sound quality—it was like rediscovering our entire music collection. Each note, each beat, felt more alive and dynamic. What started as a simple test had turned into an experience, one that reaffirmed the power of exceptional audio engineering.
The Matrix Black 2 isn’t just a cable; it’s a testament to pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable in the realm of audio excellence. Experience the remarkable difference and elevate your listening pleasure with the Matrix black 2 power cable – where innovation converges with unparalleled performance.
