Time Correct Windings
While effective in lower cost cables, Amplitude Balanced construction does not complete the whole picture. Time domain distortions can be improved, but cannot be accurately controlled to give us the sonic attributes that are related to phase as described earlier. In interconnect cables Monster corrects these time domain distortions by creating a longer path and higher impedances for the higher frequencies. They cannot speed… read more up the lows, so they must delay the highs. By winding the high frequency conductors to create inductance at those frequencies, Monster delays them in time to pass through the cable at the same time with the slower lower frequencies. This develops the ability to capture lost phase-related information such as dimensionality, soundstage, imaging, and depth.

Bass Control Conductors
Monster's Bass Control Conductors incorporate the design of a carefully sized bass conductor that is calculated in consideration of the other gauges that are used to give proper reinforcement of certain low frequencies. This conductor is typically positioned in the center of the conductor bundles and wrapped in a large dielectric to allow the break-up of internal magnetic fields. The combination of the correct sized cable bundles with the winding of the outside conductors gives us a highly refined, "balanced" sound that is smooth and controlled with a high degree of depth and image.

Magnetic Flux Tube
This is the technology of running a dielectric down the middle of a connector bundle or a large insulated wire. The dielectric "breaks up" internal magnetic fields that are strongest at the center, thereby reducing the time related distortions of conventional cable. This design is even incorporated in Monster's lowest priced XP speaker cable, which, when compared to other cables of the equivalent gauge and "look," far outperforms them in the areas of neutrality, smoothness, and lack of high-end grittiness. Dynamic range is also more noticeable since the apparent noise level is reduced. read less
