Esprit Eterna Master Clock Cable – Handmade in France

Esprit asks a clock cable neither to color the sound nor to compensate for anything. In the company's view, a clock cable should be as transparent as possible, so that the system's own qualities can come through.

The Esprit Eterna Master Clock Cable is a BNC cable for master clock links from Esprit's Eterna range. Esprit hand-builds the Eterna clock cable in Confolens, Charente, in 1 and 1.5 m and in 50 or 75 ohm.

A reference since 1999

The Eterna name has been an Esprit reference since 1999, and the Eterna clock cable belongs to its tenth generation. Esprit calls this generation a turning point in its range, and the Eterna clock cable is part of the step it describes. Esprit describes Eterna links as built on reinforced conductor density and optimized dielectrics, often with air insulation and more evolved shielding, the brief behind the Eterna clock cable.

Made in Confolens

Esprit's team designs and assembles the Eterna clock cable by hand in its workshop in Confolens, Charente. Richard Cesari insists that assembly counts as much as materials, so each Eterna clock cable is checked at every stage of the work. The first complete check of the Eterna clock cable is made by the person who built it, and nothing moves on until it has been validated.

What you hear

Esprit hears a clear gain in silence, image depth and precision at the Eterna level, and it describes the Eterna clock cable as more open, more nuanced and more immersive.

The Eterna clock cable uses Esprit's own Eh 100 connectors, fitted to BNC, since Esprit designs a connector as an extension of the conductor itself. Inside, the Eterna clock cable uses a twinax construction, insulated in polyamide imide rated to thermal class 200°. Esprit specifies the shielding of the Eterna clock cable as triple fully shielded. For Esprit, a cable such as the Eterna clock cable should simply let the system express what it can do.

Where it fits

The Eterna clock cable is level 4 of Esprit's nine, above Celesta and below Aura. Order the Eterna clock cable in 50 or 75 ohm, whichever your equipment specifies, and in 1 and 1.5 m.
