Quantum Speaker Cable Filter

 

 

What it is:

The Quantum Speaker Cable filter is ingeniously designed to actively filter cable ringing harmonics, EMF distortion, and shot noise at the speaker end of the cable.  The Quantum Speaker Cable filter works outside the analog band and will not alter the original signal.

 

Bybee Technology inside.  Each filter pair is hand built and signed by Alan Maher.

 

 

What it does for your system:

The Quantum Speaker Cable filter is a specialized R-C network that cancels out high frequency RFI, EMF distortion, and shot noise between the amplifier output and the speaker crossover. The noise is removed without introducing any form of coloration throughout the entire musical spectrum. 

The Quantum Speaker Cable filter projects a realistic and expansive soundstage, true-to-life dimension, tonal reproduction, detail, texture, and imaging.

 

Why it works – the science:

Shot noise occurs in certain devices (e.g., vacuum tubes) due to random fluctuations in current and its spectrum is white in character.  For many solid-state circuit elements, the noise floor is dominated by frequency dependent noise, often referred to as 1/f noise.  Its spectral density increases as the inverse of frequency, just like pink noise; but unlike pink noise which is broadband, 1/f noise is typically confined to fewer than 2 kHz.  The key point is that 1/f noise behaves like the musical spectrum.  Its envelope mimics that of the musical signal.  Recent research indicates that perceptually such noise blends in very well with the music.  Once buried within the music, it is reasonable to speculate that 1/f noise defuses image outlines and adulterates harmonic textures.  By using Bybee Quantum Purifiers, the basic premise is that 1/f noise detracts from the listening experience: reduce 1/f noise and you improve the sound.

 

Specifications:

Connector: 5/16” spade or bare wire
Dimension:
6” length

 

Average break-in time is about 4-5 weeks.

 

Set Up:  It is advised to purchase one set for a single or bi-wire application; tri-wire applications purchase two sets to address the mid and high frequencies.  Bi and Tri amp applications should purchase one filter set per amplifier/speaker application.

 

 

Price:  $500.00 per pair

 

1 year warranty for parts and labor (normal wear). Returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee.
