Leema offers new ranges of cables via its Reference 1 & 2 series

Leema Acoustics has launched a range of audio cables. The new Reference 1 and Reference 2 ranges, comprise speaker cables plus several digital and analogue interconnects. Features include continuously cast mono-crystal 6N-purity copper conductors, Teflon-insulation and Beryllium-copper plugs.

The range includes the Reference 1 and Reference 2 interconnects, which comprise analogue cables in RCA and XLR terminations, digital cables in RCA, TOSLINK and USB configuration and loudspeaker cables.

Leema’s entry-level Reference 1 speaker cable features a flexible dual core made from multiple strands of thin (0.1mm) silver-plated, high-purity copper. The conductors are double-insulated with a foamed-polyethylene dielectric under a durable outer PVC jacket.  The cable is then enclosed with an expanding mesh in blue.

Leema’s highest quality speaker cable, the Reference 2, is made from flexible, silver-plated, ultra-pure copper cable, braided from 16 individual conductors giving a total cross sectional area of 6mm². For added flexibility, Reference 2 can be ordered in a bi-wire configuration for a supplement.

Both speaker cables are terminated with silver-plated, hollow-pin banana plugs, made from Beryllium-Copper with a durable-steel outer shell.

Leema’s Reference I interconnect is constructed from high-purity mono-crystal copper, with dual multi-stranded conductors in a double-shielded symmetrical (dual-inner conductor) configuration. The cable benefits from polyethylene insulation, surrounded by a polypropylene protective mesh, under an aluminised-Mylar-wrap shield.

The Reference II interconnect is fully symmetrical and features Continuously Cast mono-crystal 6N-purity copper conductors. These conductors are Teflon-insulation and encased within a mechanically robust polyethylene-fibre jacket.

The cable is then wrapped within a copper mesh outer shield and enclosed in a PVC outer jacket with a braided protective outer mesh sleeve.

Leema’s RCA connectors use hollow-point low-mass inner conductors, sprung-loaded dual-earth shields. The conductor material is Beryllium-Copper which is direct-gold or Rhodium-plated. The assembly is enclosed in a lightweight but durable aluminium housing. The balanced cables feature XLR connectors with a full metal outer construction; both interconnect cables are dual-conductor designs and can be ordered with single-ended RCA or balanced XLR terminations. A USB cable is also available.
