Esprit builds Beta around fine-strand pure copper, optimized insulation and protection against high-frequency interference, the foundations of the Beta clock cable. Its dielectrics are controlled and its shielding is adapted to each use, so the Beta clock cable is protected in the way its own signal needs. The aim Esprit sets for the range is fluid, coherent transmission in analog and digital alike, and the Beta clock cable is built to that brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Beta clock cable is made the way Esprit has always worked, entirely by hand. Esprit says this hand method lets it control every step of making the Beta clock cable and keep each one consistent.

It is unhurried work, and the Beta clock cable is made at its pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it sounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit describes the sound of the range as balanced, dynamic and remarkably legible, and it presents the Beta clock cable as a foundation for a stable, musical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Beta clock cable uses Esprit's own Eh 50 connectors, fitted to BNC, since Esprit designs a connector as an extension of the conductor itself.

Conductor density in the range is very high, built from pure copper strands of differentiated sections and, on some links, solid silver, and the Gaia clock cable draws on that work.

Esprit builds Beta around fine-strand pure copper, optimized insulation and protection against high-frequency interference, the foundations of the Beta AES\/EBU cable. Its dielectrics are controlled and its shielding is adapted to each use, so the Beta AES\/EBU cable is protected in the way its own signal needs. The aim Esprit sets for the range is fluid, coherent transmission in analog and digital alike, and the Beta AES\/EBU cable is built to that brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Beta AES\/EBU cable is made the way Esprit has always worked, entirely by hand. Esprit says this hand method lets it control every step of making the Beta AES\/EBU cable and keep each one consistent. Each Beta AES\/EBU cable then passes two complete inspections, one by its assembler and one at final packing, before it leaves the workshop. It is unhurried work, and the Beta AES\/EBU cable is made at its pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it sounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit describes the sound of the range as balanced, dynamic and remarkably legible, and it presents the Beta AES\/EBU cable as a foundation for a stable, musical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts connectors are Esprit's own Eh 50 type, built around a copper body with a silver-plated copper center pin (5-micron silver), because Esprit designs a connector on the Beta AES\/EBU cable as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Beta AES\/EBU cable uses a twinax construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Beta AES\/EBU cable as fully shielded.

Esprit builds Beta around fine-strand pure copper, optimized insulation and protection against high-frequency interference, the foundations of the Beta S\/PDIF cable. Its dielectrics are controlled and its shielding is adapted to each use, so the Beta S\/PDIF cable is protected in the way its own signal needs. The aim Esprit sets for the range is fluid, coherent transmission in analog and digital alike, and the Beta S\/PDIF cable is built to that brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Beta S\/PDIF cable is made the way Esprit has always worked, entirely by hand. Esprit says this hand method lets it control every step of making the Beta S\/PDIF cable and keep each one consistent. Each Beta S\/PDIF cable then passes two complete inspections, one by its assembler and one at final packing, before it leaves the workshop. It is unhurried work, and the Beta S\/PDIF cable is made at its pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it sounds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit describes the sound of the range as balanced, dynamic and remarkably legible, and it presents the Beta S\/PDIF cable as a foundation for a stable, musical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts connectors are Esprit's own Eh 50 type, built around a copper body with a silver-plated copper center pin (5-micron silver), because Esprit designs a connector on the Beta S\/PDIF cable as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Beta S\/PDIF cable uses a coaxial construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Beta S\/PDIF cable as fully shielded.

That year Richard Cesari, a lifelong lover of music and hi-fi, began making cables, the work that leads to this S\/PDIF cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit Gaia S\/PDIF Coaxial Digital Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a coaxial digital cable from Esprit's Gaia range.

Conductor density in the range is very high, built from pure copper strands of differentiated sections and, on some links, solid silver, and the Gaia S\/PDIF cable draws on that work. Esprit describes the shielding of the Gaia S\/PDIF cable as exceptional, with filtering intended to keep only its beneficial properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Gaia S\/PDIF cable is made the way Esprit has always worked, entirely by hand. Esprit says this hand method lets it control every step of making the Gaia S\/PDIF cable and keep each one consistent. Each Gaia S\/PDIF cable then passes two complete inspections, one by its assembler and one at final packing, before it leaves the workshop. It is unhurried work, and the Gaia S\/PDIF cable is made at its pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit speaks of extreme transparency, a three-dimensional stage and impressive stability from the Gaia S\/PDIF cable.

Inside, the Gaia S\/PDIF cable uses a pure silver star-quad construction. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Gaia S\/PDIF cable as multilayer full shielding, non-floating progressive shielding. Its conductors are pure silver, a choice Esprit makes in the Gaia S\/PDIF cable for conductivity rather than for show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinding your place in the range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gaia S\/PDIF cable is level 8 of Esprit's nine, above Eureka and below L'Esprit.

Esprit builds Beta around fine-strand pure copper, optimized insulation and protection against high-frequency interference, the foundations of the Beta Ethernet cable. Its dielectrics are controlled and its shielding is adapted to each use, so the Beta Ethernet cable is protected in the way its own signal needs. The aim Esprit sets for the range is fluid, coherent transmission in analog and digital alike, and the Beta Ethernet cable is built to that brief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Beta Ethernet cable is made the way Esprit has always worked, entirely by hand. Esprit says this hand method lets it control every step of making the Beta Ethernet cable and keep each one consistent.
