Transparent Reference Speaker Cable

The Foundation of Connoisseur-Level Performance

Unleash the Full Potential of Your System

REFERENCE Speaker Cable is a critical component for any high-end music or home theatre system. Designed to handle even the most demanding speaker and amplifier combinations, it delivers extended, tightly controlled bass, a remarkably low noise floor, and effortless power transfer—laying the foundation for a truly immersive audio experience.

Superior Materials. Unmatched Craftsmanship.

Handcrafted in the USA, REFERENCE Speaker Cable features:

• Precision-wound OFHC copper stranding for maximum conductivity
  

• Custom-machined, gold-plated tellurium copper spade lugs for reliable, high-current connections
  

• Tailored internal networks precisely matched to each cable's electrical properties and length
  

The result? A significant performance upgrade over ULTRA Speaker Cable, with deeper bass, greater musical detail, and a more refined listening experience.

Custom-Calibrated for Your System

REFERENCE is the first cable in the Transparent lineup to offer component-specific electrical calibration, ensuring optimal performance based on the unique output characteristics of your amplifier.

Available in two precisely engineered versions:

• High Z – for high output impedance amplifiers
  

• Low Z – for low output impedance amplifiers
  

We will work with you to ensure perfect compatibility, including:

• Impedance matching
  

• Connector types
  

• Polarity alignment
  

• Custom lengths and layout adjustments
  

Engineered for Precision and Control

REFERENCE’s elegant carbon fibre composite (CFC) network carapace allows electromagnetic fields to expand fully and evenly—essential for clean, uncoloured signal transmission. These rigid, thin-walled structures are filled with dense epoxy resin to minimize vibration and resonance well beyond what’s possible with ULTRA Speaker Cable.

Key structural enhancements include:

• Acrylic network platforms with integrated isolation feet
  

• Deep-set fasteners that anchor into epoxy for superior mechanical damping
  

Together, these design elements ensure the quietest and most stable environment for music to thrive.

Elevate Your Listening

REFERENCE Speaker Cable isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a transformation. When your system demands the highest level of performance and precision, REFERENCE delivers.

REFERENCE Speaker is handcrafted in the USA and is upgradeable to XL, OPUS, or MAGNUM OPUS Speaker Cable.

Warranty registration not only extends the Transparent Warranty to a lifetime limited warranty for the original owner, it provides the owner with complimentary recalibration in the event that a component change requires network adjustments.
