Shadow 2 Speaker Cable As a hybrid pure silver design, Shadow 2 offers many aspects of the performance of our reference-class designs a significantly lower cost. The 11 AWG conductor gauge per channel comprises 4N pure silver and 7N silver-plated copper conductors, air-spaced PTFE Teflon insulation, and the 'distributed gauge' technology of our more advanced cables to optimise bandwidth and frequency response. Two carbon fiber-based resonance dampers per channel reduce mechanically induced distortions. Shadow 2 cables major on speed, dynamic contrast and precision.
