REFERENCE DSC SC Sp/Bn 500(cm)

A single piece designed to bring out the system’s appeal more naturally.

[REFERENCE DSC SC Sp/Bn 500 (cm)|Speaker Cable for In-Car Audio]

To deliver audio information to the speaker with care

Even after replacing the speakers, you may want a bit more fine detail and soundstage expansion. You want to bring out the performance of your amplifier and speakers as naturally as possible.

When that’s the case, it’s worth revisiting your speaker cable. REFERENCE DSC SC Sp/Bn 500 (cm) is a car-audio speaker cable that focuses on the conductor structure for signal transmission, vibration damping, and insulation.

Unique conductor structure and noise countermeasures

It uses DSC (Distributed Symmetric Conductor), a breakthrough patented technology, and for signal transmission employs a hexagonal 3+3+1 core structure. Around the vibration-damped SPVC cord, three-core BRC conductors insulated with SATI® are arranged to form two conductors: hot and cold.

With excellent group velocity and EMI resistance, the manufacturer states it achieves a noise reduction of up to 20–40 dB. It’s a cable that makes it easier to consider a wider range of amplifier-and-speaker combinations in systems where you want to value sound definition and information content.

A cable you’ll want to think about, including installation

Choosing a cable isn’t the end of the story. The final impression changes depending on how you route the cable inside the vehicle, how you treat the terminals, the finishing of the connection points, and how it matches your existing system.

If I were advising, I wouldn’t decide how to use it by thinking about the speakers and amplifier as isolated components. I’d determine the best use based on your current entire system and how you listen. This is a cable I’d like you to consider for both people who truly want to hear clear changes in sound and people who want to first improve their system—including the wiring.

Since REFERENCE DSC SC Sp/Bn 500 (cm) is a made-to-order product, delivery will take a little time. Required length and installation details will also vary depending on the vehicle and your current audio setup, so if you’re considering a replacement, let’s determine the direction together while first confirming your vehicle specifications.
