You can always make a mountain out of a mole hill ...... and that’s why we really worked up a sweat when we developed the EPILOGUE reference cable: As requested by many purists, we ventured on the “technical and audiophile“ summit and came up with a product which, in tests conducted by renowned studios, proved to be superior to cables costing many times more. Based on our quad star multicore, we have packed four wires into one jacket which allows them to be connected in a crossover mode to reduce the capacitive value. The wires are 100 % shielded by a tight copper mesh and a semiconductor. For enhanced conductivity all four wires have a carbon conductor smoothing. The EPILOGUE ensures – and this without a prolonged break-in time – an absolutely neutral reproduction with excellent dynamics.The EPILOGUE has been on the market since late 2002 and already soon after was able to stand its ground in many reviews. It is the defi nitive reference cable with serious hifi dealers who attach great importance to a linear transmission, instead of decorating the vitrines with “candy-coloured power current lines“. Among others, it also graces the Skyline Studios in Düsseldorf which have a worldwide reputation for high-class productions.We recommend this cable for connecting preamps and power amplifi ers, audiophile CD and SACD players, turntables and of course for professional studio applications. Owing to its low wire-to-wire capacitance of approx. 35 pF and based on experience, it will produce almost no losses with a maximum length of 10 metres. Due to its elaborate processing and sophisticated wiring, the EPILOGUE is offered exclusively as a ready-made set.The connector is a modified, HD-PTFE insulated HICON RCA connector which has been given a special finishing treatment, a sumptuous shielding and an engraving for the two channels. It is not available through commercial shops. Please make sure before your purchase that it is an original cable manufactured by us. For balanced applications also available with “SATIN“ XLR connectors whose male and female versions both have turned, hard gold-plated contacts and a capacitive cable screento- shell connection against HF interference. This special EMC version with a 360° screen contact is made by NEUTRIK® exclusively for SOMMER CABLE.Advantages:Very neutral, spatial sound image without colourations for the perfect reproduction, especially of classical instrumentsConservative, yet flashy look in the British traditionAbsolute reference in many renowned recording and mastering studiosExtremely low capacitance of 35 pF wire/wire (crossover)Tested on almost all high-end systems from acknowledged brands (fine-tuned on the reference systems B&W Nautilus & Matrix Series as well as STAX Headphones JapanGold-plated HICON connectors with S-PTFE insulation or NEUTRIK® EMC Special XLR “SATIN“ with turned, gold-plated pins and 360° screen contactApplication:Connection for highest demands (pre/power amplifier, CD player, SACD, DVD-Audio, phono etc.)Phono cable for linear systems with particularly low colourationsBalanced high-end connection in reference studiosConfiguration: 1,00 m 800-02071 x HI-CM07-YEL1 x HI-CM07-NTL-D1 x HI-CM07-YEL1 x HI-CM07-NTL-D

HDMI®-AOC-ARMORED CABLEThe HDMI® knightprotects even the most delicate HDMI® cables with its steel sleeve. The armoured design makes it extremely durable. Thanks to the integrated stainless steel corrugated tube, the cable can withstand tensile forces of up to 80 kg – the strain relief of the connectors can take a maximum of 65 kg. Despite these extreme values, the cable is just 5.8 mm thin and has a minimum bending radius of just 20 mm. The connectors are fitted with our tried and tested Glandmaster protective sleeves for this purpose during transport – the cap is protected against loss with a stainless steel rope. For installations, the protective housing can be unscrewed and the strain relief pushed back or removed (side cutter). Thanks to AOC (Active Optical Cable) technology, the transfer of the high speed contents is based on glass fibers – this facilitates a maximum transfer distance of up to 100 m.Advantages:18G UHD performance across distances of up to 100 mExtreme mechanical durabilityPUR sleeve materialGlandmaster protective sleeves for protecting the connectors5.8 mm cable diameterMiscellaneous:UHD 4K @60fps YUV 4:4:4HDMI 2.0a compliantHDCP support up to V2.2HDR/ ARC/ HEC/ EDID support21Gbps bandwidth / 600MHz pixel clockHDMI High Speedsupports all HDMI audio formatsAttention: For the power supply of the AOC cable, both plugs must be directly connected to a device.

If not only the shop is buzzing... but the entire system in the discotheque, then the DJ generally speaks of a ‘cable problem’. Because the experienced professional DJ knows that almost 95% of background noise in the sound system is caused by inferior cables or plug connections. Unshielded plastic RCA cinch connectors and insufficiently shielded cables are particularly problematic. Cables with tight stranding are particularly important for the top sound of an event, so that they can be subjected to high bending cycles and do not break at the fragile point of the cable kink protection. A high-quality, chalk-free cable sheath mixture is also essential to prevent premature ageing due to the sometimes severe temperature fluctuations and high nicotine content in dance halls. The connectors should have high-quality insulation made of POM or PTFE and be mechanically resilient.On request, we can customise the XLR and jack cables or multicore looms with your logo or artist name! Send your enquiry to info@sommercable.comThe HICON cable has a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack plug on one side and two RCA cinch male plugs on the other side, with gold-plated contacts.

When we can hear a pin drop ...we not only have an excellent hearing, but most certainly also superb hifi components in our phono rack. For highest demands and listening enjoyment we have developed the SC-ALBEDO reference cable.In particular the SC-ALBEDO stands out by its 100 % dense multiple shielding and a lively, detailed reproduction. The tightly stranded OFC wires are fitted with a highly conductive conductor smoothing. It ensures optimum conductance plus lasting corrosion protection and in addition protects the copper against adverse effects from the plasticiser contained in the PVC.The insulation consists of a polypropylene composite. The tightly stranded andtinned outer helical mesh screen and the coated aluminium foil provide a very good protection against HF and AF interference.Due to its tight stranding and the use of superfi ne single wires (0.05 mm) the SC-ALBEDO has very good capacitive values and a low conductor resistance – as we ourselves expect it from a reference cable. And the SC-ALBEDO – here’s good news for you – is still affordably priced. We use high-quality HICON RCA connectors with S-PTFE insulation, a hard gold-plated solid pin and a gold-plated strain relief. For balanced applications also available with “SATIN“ XLR connectors whose male and female versions both have turned, hard gold-plated contacts and a capacitive cable screen-to-shell connection against HF interference.

Shock absorbersSpikes and absorbers help to prevent underswiable vibrations from being trasferred through furniture, flooring and audio peripherals. They are especially important in the studio setting, because primarily the near field monitors that unfortunately very often stand directly on the 100.000€ mixing unit cause the electronic equpment to vibrate and resonate.Very practical and versatible are self-adhesive knobbed rubber absorbers HI-ASG40 with an optimized support surface. Version HI-AS39 and HI-AS39V are primarly used for high-end systems and in the professional stuido sector and wil adapt to uneven surfaces.Miscellaneous:They are available in sets of 4, suitable for one speaker or HiFi-components.
