Since 2004, Crystal Cable has been on a continuous journey to perfect high-end audio systems in musical reproduction, aesthetic beauty and ease of use. Crystal Cable started manufacturing audio cables, which is still our core expertise, but the ever-going process to improve, innovate and bring new developments to the high-end audio world inspired us to pursue endeavors in other fields as well. Loudspeakers, electronics and constant innovations in our cable designs led to new series that replaced the now called “classics”. However, these classics are more than just products; they are milestones that should be remembered.
When a great musician shapes a note, a phrase, or a movement, it is all about time and place, amplitude, and attack. Crystal Cable’s technology, materials, and construction strive to preserve not just pitch and harmonics but the purpose and intent in the playing, the human element that engages and communicates. In that process, ensuring that our products are fashioned for people’s lives and their living environments was never forgotten. Whether it be cables, loudspeakers or electronics, this philosophy is and was the starting point of all our ventures in high-end audio.
The arabesque shape, simulated in Comsol, made of natural glass, happened to be very suitable as a loudspeaker cabinet. The irregular form without the typical parallel walls helps to create a perfect sound with a wide dispersion, fitting every possible room situation. There is no need to use dampening material which helps to retain the dynamics and speed of the cone drivers. The specific shape brings tremendous advantages to a loudspeaker housing. Most important is the way it guides the sound from the rear of the loudspeaker cones towards the friction port in the tail section of the cabinet. Moreover, the reflections inside the cabinet do not influence the sound quality. Therefore, no acoustical damping is needed, greatly improving the impulse response of the speaker.
The Arabesque Glass Master loudspeaker brings the musical performance closer than ever before. Just like the musical masterpieces reproduced so effortlessly, the Arabesque Glass Master loudspeaker represents the result of almost obsessive attention to every tiny detail in its design and construction. It leaves no stone unturned in its quest for a perfect musical performance.
The Arabesque Glass Master set new standards of musical performance. However, due to the sophisticated construction of its complex plate glass cabinet, the production of Glass Master was sure to involve high costs. Therefore, Crystal Cable wanted to offer the benefits of the Arabesque integrated system solution at a more affordable price in a speaker that was smaller and easier to accommodate. The Arabesque Mini was the answer.
A sophisticated modeling technique was used to optimize the mechanical and internal behavior of a compact and space-frame enclosure. The enclosure was constructed from milled aluminum plates. For the performance within the smaller baffle height to be maintained, a beryllium dome tweeter was selected. At last, the stand functions were created as an integrated part of the design, ensuring optimum mechanical termination and visual integration.
The Arabesque™ III is an elegant floor-standing loudspeaker with a compact footprint. By design it matches almost any room, both aesthetically and acoustically. The arabesque shaped anodized aluminum housing has all of the properties that make the Arabesque™ series of loudspeakers unique: aesthetically pleasing, easy to place in the living and extremely musical.
The Arabesque™ III is a genuinely state-of-the-art, high-end loudspeaker, again a milestone in craftsmanship as well as a fine piece of art. Extremely well built and elegantly designed, it adheres to the Arabesque™ philosophy of combining high-end music reproduction and aesthetics without compromise. It really must be seen and heard for it to be fully appreciated.
The Diamond Series embodies the ultimate audio expression of our philosophy. All cables within the Diamond Series feature a patented metallurgical process that injects pure gold in between silver crystals. A unique breakthrough in the high-end audio market, this advanced metallurgy was developed by and exclusively for Crystal Cable and Siltech.
The silver-gold central core is helically wound and has two thin layers of low-loss, ultra-rigid Kapton by Dupont® insulation. Consequently, the dielectric loss and mechanical intermodulation get reduced. A silver screen is covered in a minimalist Teflon® jacket to create the most yet perfect construction possible.
The result is almost impossibly thin and flexible cables. These are virtually all conductors, with the least possible insulation and lowest possible sonic fingerprint. Moreover, beyond flexible and featuring a full array of distinct qualities, the cables within this series are aesthetically pleasant, refined, and elegant. Its size and quality mean that every Diamond cable fits in every kind of room and lets you enjoy any high-resolution music to the fullest.
The Crystal Cable Dream Series all feature pure monocrystal silver conductors. Crystal Cable perfected the art of creating the best conductors where each solid-core wire is a single, continuous crystal structure, eliminating crystal boundaries – and the micro-distortions that go with them. The monocrystal technology used in these cables was specially developed to match the mechanical and sonic requirements of Crystal Cable’s coaxial construction design.
But the best core conductors are only part of the story. It is how you use those conductors that determine the performance. Crystal Cable developed a unique coaxial construction, wrapping the conductor in two thin layers of incredibly hard, low-mass Kapton by Dupont® insulation, further covered with advanced, low-loss Teflon. The result is minimum insulation material and superb mechanical behavior. Two shields are used: one in silver-plated monocrystal copper, the second in gold-plated monocrystal silver to protect the delicate signal from outside interference. Every element of the cable is dedicated to passing the delicate audio signal with as little interference as possible. For us, this was the realization of a dream, the perfect cable we had been working towards for years.
In 2019, Crystal Cable proudly introduced the 15th Anniversary Future Dream series, a limited-edition cable range using new hybrid technology, combining the best of two proprietary materials: monocrystal silver and silver-gold alloy.
The new revolutionary hybrid material mix ensured a warm, homogenic soundstage while being able to maintain the well-known Crystal Cable characteristics: transparency, plenty of detail, balanced base, and exceptional neutrality. The interconnects, speaker cables, and power chords all used a 4-coaxial conductor construction, insulated by the best available foil, Dupont Kapton® and Teflon®.
