Wiring the SuperTweeter

@milimetr just curious why would you require 3.5m ? When I used a super tweeter many many years ago I wired the super tweeter that sat on top of the speakers to the binding posts of the speakers maybe at most 1.5m below. I did use some silver cable but also tried copper as well. In the end stuck with the silver.

@milimetr --

A 1.00mm (no more, no less) solid core wire has something particularly well going for it at HF-frequencies, I’ve found.

Just recently implemented a JBL 2405 Alnico tweeter over my existing main speakers. It’s high-passed at ~11,5kHz 6dB/octave and hooked up with lightly twisted, 1.00mm (i.e.: AWG 19) Mundorf CUW210 OFC solid core copper wires in a teflon insulator. Works excellently.

Mundorf also has a Silver/gold solid core conductor variant (i.e.: 99% silver, 1% gold), in a teflon insulator as well, that comes highly recommended (and is somewhat more expensive). This can be had in 0.5, 1.00 and 1.5mm wire diameters, but again - I’d go with the 1.00mm cable.

Whether to go with the copper or silver/gold variant of the Mundorf cable (or differing conductor materials from other cable brands) depends on synergy and taste. Both options are excellent (I use the silver/gold wires elsewhere in my active speaker setup, and also as interconnects).

Just my findings.

@rsf507 thanks for the input. Belive it or not I have tried to connect ST to loudspeaker binding posts (0.9 m) and directly to amplifier outputs (3.5 m).
In the second scenario ST sounded better. I assume that this way the cable conducts only frequencies required by ST.

@phusis thanks for the input.
Mundorf Mconnect ACW210-BK/BU Angelique solid core wire, 2 x 1mm in PTFE can also be interesting.

Indeed!
