Tributaries

Bring it all together

Model 4BW

by

All Series 4 audio cables are meticulously assembled by hand in Orlando, Florida. Series 4 Bi-Wire Speaker cables begin with ultra-pure highly conductive oxygen-free copper (HC-OFC) developed specifically for audio applications.  Six stranded bundles are constructed by twisting strands clockwise and then wrapping the bundles counterclockwise around one insulated large solid conductor canceling magnetic fields thus reducing distortion. Two 16AWG conductors are designed for connection to the high frequency loudspeaker driver terminals while two 14AWG conductors are designed for connection to the low frequency driver terminals.  Tributaries Series 4 Star-Quad design results in a high performance speaker cable that looks as good as it sounds.

The Series 4 Star-Quad Bi-Wire Speaker cable is stocked in each in lengths from 4 foot to 12 foot lengths with custom lengths available.

All Series 6 audio cables are meticulously assembled by hand in Orlando, Florida. Series 6 Bi-Wire Speaker cables begin with ultra-pure highly conductive oxygen-free copper (HC-OFC) developed specifically for audio applications.  Conductors consist of multiple solid gauges that are mathematically and tonally chosen to support low, mid and high frequencies for a natural sounding cable. Individually insulating each conductor yields zero strand interaction and better sound quality. It is important to understand that music passing through the speaker cable, is actually an AC voltage, so when voltage passes through twisted wire, there will be additional magnetic fields. Tributaries Star-Quad design not only alternates the positive and negative signal conductors but also alternates the twisted lays in each multi-gauge conductor. Alternating lays cancels all levels of magnetic distortion. The end result is a neutral sounding cable

All Series 8 audio cables are meticulously assembled by hand in Orlando, Florida. Series 8 Mark II Bi-Wire speaker cables begin with extremely high-grade linear crystal copper (LC-OFC) developed specifically for audio applications.  Tributaries LC-OFC is carefully drawn to produce a low crystal volume per foot resulting in less signal loss and distortion. Conductors consist of multiple solid gauges that are mathematically and tonally chosen to support low, mid and high frequencies for a natural sounding cable.

The Mark II cables are silver soldered onto proprietary spade lugs and locking banana plug connectors made with Tellurium (TE) copper increasing conductivity and strength. The end result is a dead-quiet neutral sounding cable that accurately produces the sound of live music

All Series 8 Cables are meticulously assembled by hand in Orlando, Florida. Series 8 Mark II balanced audio cables begin with extremely high-grade linear crystal copper (LC-OFC) developed specifically for audio applications.  Tributaries LC-OFC is carefully drawn to produce a low crystal volume per foot resulting in less signal loss and distortion. Conductors consist of multiple solid gauges that are mathematically and tonally chosen to support low, mid and high frequencies for a natural sounding cable. Individually insulating each conductor yields zero strand interaction and better sound quality. The Series 8 balanced cables are precision-twisted triple balanced in design. Three dedicated conductors with equal impedance for positive, negative and ground are surrounded by a separate shield to keep noise from reaching the single path. The Mark II cables are silver soldered onto proprietary XLR connectors made with Tellurium (TE) copper contacts increasing conductivity and strength. To reduce signal hum during connection, the Tributaries Series 8 XLR connectors have the female ground (pin 1) placed forward in the shell so the ground connects first. The end result is a dead-quiet neutral sounding cable that accurately produces the sound of live music.

The Series 8 Mark II balanced audio cable is stocked in pair and mono cables in lengths from ½ meter to 4 meter lengths with custom lengths available.
