Introducing the new veRum cable range
We are delighted to announce a new range of interconnect cables, veRum. Available now, veRum brings reference performance in its own right by ‘preserving’ the audio signal and bringing a large proportion of Pulse HB's neutrality, dynamics and even-handed performance performance at the optimum (achievable manufacturing) cost.
veRum replaces Pulse-R and sits below Pulse HB and above RedLine in the Vertere cable hierarchy.
veRum comes in two variants:
veRum - 1.5 m RCA/XLR interconnect cable
veRum Solo – 1.15 m DIN to RCA tonearm cable or RCA/XLR interconnect cable
Manufactured on precision machines with the most delicate tolerance cable manufacturing machinery in Europe. veRum brings a large proportion of Pulse HB's neutrality, dynamics and even-handed performance without the high costs involved in being hugely labour intensive and using wire so delicate that four together are thinner than a human hair.
These precision machines assemble veRum from multiple thicknesses of high purity copper wires, generally silver-plated. The various thicknesses of wires give flexibility to wiring depending on the signal requirement. For example, the output from a phono cartridge is at a signal level far below that of, say, a phono stage and is still preconditioned by the RIAA record equalisation. These two possibilities require different wiring to optimise signal transfer.
The detail
Each veRum cable (one channel) includes:
Two signal and two return Pulse Hairline silver-plated high-purity copper multi—stranded wires with an FEP dielectric
One signal and one return Microline silver-plated high-purity copper multi-stranded wires insulated with an FEP dielectric
One signal and one return Modeline silver-plated high-purity copper multi-stranded wires with an FEP dielectric
These are together with a significantly thicker Pulse Earthline silver-plated high purity copper multistranded wire.
A special foil shield surrounds these, covered by a dense tin-plated copper braid with a special PVC jacket. The multiple signal and return wires give flexibility. The wiring of many combinations is possible and allows different options for ground, earth, and shields.
veRum Solo includes two veRum cables and a separate Special Ground/Power Conductor set. The extra set includes two tinned high-purity copper conductors with a PVC dielectric, shielded by a special foil and tinned copper braid, all enclosed in a PVC outer. Surrounding all three PVC enclosed wires is a cotton filler for damping and a final PVC outer jacket for protection.
veRum Solo has two obvious uses and possibly many others: a Tonearm to Phono stage cable with a much thicker than usual and screened ground cable and as a regular RCA or XLR cable with both channels held closely together for use in more RF noisy situations and where a separate ground may be advantageous.
