Compact 16-gauge design for internal wiring and DIY applications
Wireworld Cable Technology—respected manufacturer of highperformance
audio and video cables—is pleased to announce the Helicon 16, a new
series of compact speaker cables, designed for internal wiring and DIY applications.
These highly flexible cables consist of two flat conductors that are twisted and bonded
together. This bonded helical structure stabilizes the conductors, eliminating the need
for an external jacket. This design also provides the uniquely lifelike sound quality of
Wireworld's patented DNA Helix conductor geometry.
“After years of development, I've finally succeeded in creating a 16 gauge cable that
sounds close to a direct connection—the scientific reference standard for cable fidelity,”
said Wireworld's president and founder, David Salz. “I am confident that Helicon 16
makes improvements that speaker designers have not heard with previous cables.”
Helicon 16's two flat insulated conductors contain sixteen parallel copper strands that
are arranged as eight pairs. The gaps between those pairs are essential, because they
channel electromagnetic signal energy to provide audible and measurable
improvements in fidelity. Helicon 16 is also extremely easy to strip and connect to
internal or external speaker terminals. This innovative cable will be available with
Oxygen-Free copper or Ohno Continuous Cast 7N copper conductors.
Availability: Spring 2016
Pricing: TBA
Wireworld will showcase the Helicon 16 along with the Headphone Cable Polygraph
and its full line of products during CES 2016 in Venetian Tower suite 30-201.
