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.

The mighty Waitaki River, downstream to the three large glacial lakes of Pukaki, Tekapo, and Ohau in the South Island of New Zealand, is a conduit for these pristine waters to the Pacific Ocean 110km away, and can be easily recognized by its straight, silver-braided silhouette when viewed from the air.
​
Creators of the Waitaki Digital Coaxial Cable pays tribute to river it’s named after by creating a cable that delivers both extremely high level of signal purity and muscular tonality, through the clever use of seven silver-plated very-high purity copper cores, with full silver-plated OFC mesh to shield against any external noise.
​
With every cable featuring laser-engraved, hand-polished walnut wood casings on machined stainless-steel caps over Pure Red Copper 24K Gold-plated connectors, listeners are invited to a rare symphony of precision audio performance with stunning hand-crafted visual design.

ACHERON | WH-1
Subwoofer/Digital Coaxial Cable
Located in Canterbury, New Zealand, the Acheron River flows from Lake Lyndon south into the Rakaia River for a total of 60km, with tight turns and small deposits of coal found near the river. The Acheron WH-1 Subwoofer Cable shares the same character, with its deep, tight and dark soundstage that immerses listeners in the atmosphere of the soundtrack.
​
Designed in New Zealand, the creators choose a symmetrically balanced construction consisting of a very-high purity copper core woven from seven separate strands and shielded with copper foil wrapped in silver-plated OFC braided mesh.
​
With every connector housing finished in hand-polished solid natural walnut wood on stainless steel and terminated with Pure Red Copper and 24K Gold-Plated connectors, the cable is as much a visual delight as its impressively accurate & tight tonality.

ARAPUNI | PH-1
Premium Ultra 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.
