The OCOS Idea
OCOS is a practical implementation of solid and scientific principles, the direct result of years of scientific and acoustic research. The OCOS engineers' research showed that ever more mysterious materials, complicated winding technologies or exotic shielding didn't actually improve transparency but that such esoteric construction and expensive materials do push up the price.
Instead of aiding transparency, many such constructions act as a "sonic resistor".
The OCOS advantage: Liberation of Sound
Sound neutrality: Because of the typical and unique OCOS physical parameters (see below), OCOS cable behaves as an integrated component of the speaker itself. It is not a component in its own right but simply a completely transparent medium which transports the music signal. OCOS doesn't alter or remove the symptoms of a physical mismatch; instead it removes the mismatch itself.
The sound is completely transparent, neutral and balanced without harshness, edginess or nervousness. Through its neutrality across the entire frequency spectrum, a recording will be rendered accurately and realistically with its resolution and spacious imaging fully intact.
characteristic impedance of loudspeaker cables
Flexible: By virtue of the excellent characteristics, different lengths of cable within the same system don't lead to the otherwise usual performance differences. Even with lengths up to 100 meters the impedance retains its constant value and the sound remains neutral and balanced.
This is why within the same system different lengths of cable can be used: e.g.: the cable for the right speaker can be shorter than that for the left speaker. This makes OCOS more suitable than any other speaker cable for multi-channel and Home Theatre systems. From a performance point of view, the cables for the rear speakers are identical to the front - the sound quality remains at the same high level for all speakers, even with lengthy cables to the surround speakers.
