Overview

The Clarus Crimson MKII Phono RCA Interconnect Cables deliver reference-level signal transmission for premium turntable and analog audio systems. Engineered to preserve the delicate output of high-performance phono cartridges, Crimson MKII combines Pure Continuous Cast Copper (PCCC) conductors, advanced multi-geometry construction, and triple-layer shielding for exceptional transparency, resolution, and musical accuracy.

Crimson MKII utilizes specialized conductor geometries optimized for bass, midrange, and high-frequency reproduction. Its 16 AWG twin-axial architecture combines solid bass conductors, a flat midrange conductor, and spiral ribbon high-frequency conductors to maintain signal integrity across the entire audio spectrum.

Triple shielding protects sensitive phono signals from electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, while a dedicated 14 AWG silver-plated PCCC ground cable helps eliminate unwanted hum. Premium MKII RCA connectors feature hollow tellurium copper center pins and beryllium copper ground contacts for secure, low-resistance connections.
