CHATHAM | SH-1

Premium Silver Hybrid Speaker Cables

 

 

The Chatham Islands is the most easterly territory of New Zealand, boasting a wonderful variety of landscape, from the volcanic peaks piercing through rolling peatland, through to towering cliffs crowned with forest and down to the vast lagoon surrounded by endless sandy beaches.

Similar beauty is imbued in the Chatham SH-1 Speaker Cable, where every effort was made to preserve the grandeurs of the original soundstage. With a perfect blend of very high-purity copper and silver at its core, listeners are treated to a rare fusion of mid-upper range sparkle on vocals in tandem with fine texturing of bottom range without mass diminishment.

With hand-polished, laser engraved solid natural walnut wood housings, coupled with high quality PE dielectric and fully filled with natural cotton, all terminated in Pure Red Copper with 24K Gold-Plated connectors, the Chatham SH-1 looks as stunning as it sounds.

Exquisite, Enveloping, Extraordinary – prepare to be thrilled.

BOWEN | AC-1

Analog RCA Cable

 

The Bowen River, originating near the snowy peaks of Mt. Grave in northern Fiordland, New Zealand, is fed by many small streams as it picks up speed and volume on its way south, culminating at the hanging valley as it plunges 162m into the head of the Milford Sound, forming the spectacular Lady Bowen Falls.

Inspired by the river’s journey, the creators of the Bowen AC-1 Analogue Interconnect Cable have recreated the same crisp, smooth frequency response reminiscent of the upper Bowen River, whilst maintaining the same spectacularly powerful delivery as the Lady Bowen Falls.

Featuring a triple conductor balanced design, with full copper foil & OFC braided shielding to guard the purity of the analogue signals from all outside interferences, listeners will be astounded by the clean, natural, powerful tonal delivery.

Crisp, Natural, Powerful – prepare to be delighted.

ARAPUNI | PH-1

Premium Silver Hybrid Audiophile Grade Power Cable

 

Electricity, the lifeblood which pulses through every facet of modern life, is a key player in powering all audio equipment. Often running through thin, subpar cables whilst distorted by outside interferences such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile phones, it leads to degradation in sound quality.

 

Named after the largest and oldest running renewable hydroelectric power station on the Waikato River in the North Island of New Zealand, the Arapuni PH-1 Power Cable features completely new designs for supreme performance. Dubbed "Ultra Silver Hybrid", it is a carefully formulated mixture of Monocrystalline Copper with Silver-Plated and Non-Plated Linear Crystal Oxygen Free Copper in different core diameters, which delivers top-end sparkle in perfect balance to the mid and low frequencies, resulting in a lifelike soundstage.

 

Oversized large gauge of 2 x 4.123 mm² Live and Neutral conductors combines with the massive 4.451 mm² Earth conductor to provide over five times the cross-sectional area of a typical household power cable, ensuring maximum power delivery and response for the most demanding system.

 

Fully shielded with end-to-end copper foil & Silver-Plated OFC braided mesh, external interference is kept to a minimum to deliver power as cleanly as it was renewably sourced from the mighty Waikato River. A beautiful dark green & silver braiding with a laser-engraved, hand-polished solid walnut ring completes the unmistakably classy Montaudio signature look.

 

The Arapuni PH-1 Power Cable is terminated in Gold-Plated Audiophile Grade Connectors and is available in different termination configurations to suit different countries. Rhodium-Plated Audiophile Grade Connector are available in Limited Release in selected terminations. Each cable is expertly test-and-tagged in New Zealand to the AS/NZ 3760 standard.
