{"product_id":"esprit-aura-speaker-cable","title":"Esprit Aura Speaker Cable (Pair) – Handmade in France","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichard Cesari, who founded Esprit, thinks of a hi-fi system as a chain, and a speaker cable is one of its links. A beautiful source and a fine amplifier can still lose the essential, he says, if the signal is harmed on its way through a speaker cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEsprit Aura Speaker Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pair of loudspeaker cables from level 5 of Esprit's nine ranges. The Aura speaker cable is assembled by hand at Esprit's workshop in Confolens, in 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 m pairs with banana or spade terminations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“This impression enhances the realism and atmosphere of the listening experience, as the music emerges outside the speaker cabinet.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Vincent Guillemin, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/tests\/types\/cables\/esprit-aura-g9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eVumètre\u003c\/a\u003e, reviewing the Aura G9, the previous generation (2025)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe idea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit calls Aura a decisive advance, a range of more sophisticated architectures conceived for high-end systems, and the Aura speaker cable is drawn from it. At this level Esprit reinforces conductor density again and works with twisted asymmetric dielectrics, the groundwork of the Aura speaker cable. Dielectric polarization, introduced one level below with Eterna, continues in the Aura speaker cable. Esprit describes the shielding of Aura's analog links as reinforced, and the Aura speaker cable is one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBy hand, in Charente\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Confolens, Charente, the Aura speaker 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 Aura speaker cable and keep each one consistent. Each Aura speaker 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 Aura speaker cable is made at its pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe sound, in Esprit's words\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Esprit's words, the Aura speaker cable makes a system quieter, more stable and more immersive, bringing out micro-information, deepening the stage and giving dynamics more freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEsprit explains that a larger conductor section lowers resistance, which matters in an Aura speaker cable because speaker links carry significant current. In listening, the company says, that lower resistance tends to bring a quieter background, firmer bass and freer dynamics from the Aura speaker cable. The Aura speaker cable combines PVC and silicone insulation: Esprit associates the firmer PVC with density and bass weight, and the softer silicone with a more fluid, open midrange and treble. Air forms part of the insulation of the Aura speaker cable, as specified: double air insulation + high-temperature polyvinyl chloride (PVC) + silicone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinding your place in the range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aura speaker cable is level 5 of Esprit's nine, above Eterna and below Lumina. Pairs of the Aura speaker cable come in 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 m, with banana or spade terminations, so measure the run from amplifier to speaker and allow a little slack.

Compared with the Eterna speaker cable, the Aura speaker cable uses 40 micron copper\/silver multilayer plating, double air insulation plus high-temperature PVC plus silicone insulation and shielding specified as partial shielding with a silver-plated copper braid providing 100% optical coverage plus full shielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Aura speaker cable use dielectric polarization?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Esprit lists the polarization of the Aura speaker cable as \"Yes, Double process\". On the Aura speaker cable, a continuous voltage keeps the insulators in a stable state, which Esprit says limits dielectric relaxation and absorption for more coherent, quieter transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Aura speaker cable cost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aura speaker cable is $3,999 for 2 m, $4,949 for 2.5 m, $5,899 for 3 m, $7,799 for 4 m and $9,699 for 5 m per pair.
