The story

Clear Bi-Wire Jumpers use the Clear speaker conductor, arranged like a very short Clear speaker cable, 10 in (25.4 cm) long. As with all Clear speaker cables the conductors are multi-stranded and concentric: the outside of one concentric conductor is tied to the inside of the other for each lead, which is why the positive and negative leads are bundled together and cannot be separated.

They are terminated with Cardas spades or bananas forged at 10,000 psi in Bandon, Oregon, and sold in pairs (one jumper per speaker, each carrying both polarities). They are the matching jumpers for Clear and Clear Beyond speaker cables run single-wire.

Measure centre to centre between the bass and treble terminals of one speaker and check the jumper length covers it with a little slack. Spades suit posts you can torque down; bananas drop into the free hole of a post already carrying a spade. Mixed spade-to-banana sets are the usual choice. Already bi-wiring with two runs of cable, or using an internal bi-wire cable? You do not need jumpers.

Key technologies

  • Ultra Pure Cardas Copper. Grade 1, 99.9999% pure oxygen-free copper, drawn and annealed slowly through silver dies, then given a single poly-nylon coat to prevent oxidation and crosstalk between strands.
  • Golden Ratio scaled Litz conductors. Multi-stranded conductors in which each layer of strands steps up in size by 1:1.618 from the centre outward, a Cardas patent that controls strand resonance.
  • Matched Propagation conductor. The same Clear speaker conductor as the full cable, so a Clear or Clear Beyond loom stays Clear all the way to the treble terminals.
  • Forged terminations. Spades or bananas are compression forged onto the conductor at 10,000 psi in Bandon rather than soldered.
  • Made in Bandon, Oregon. Every Cardas cable is built and hand terminated at the Cardas factory on the southern Oregon coast and carries the Cardas lifetime cable warranty.
