Abstract: The audio cable is having a multi-conductor cable, two or more conductor assemblies, at least one partition for creating additional mechanical resonances, and appropriate connectors, coverings, insulation and labels each of which features selected mechanical resonances. The partitions can be a hinge partition produced from selectively twisting the conductor assemblies, or a mass partition produced by fastening either a wire binding wound over the conductor assembly or a conductor of different mass from that of the conductor assembly and thereto. The audio cable resonances are adjusted by dividing the conductor assembly into multiple partitions. The length, mass, color and compliance of each partition are adjustable to produce resulting mechanical resonances, thereby determining the sound of the audio cable when used with microphonic or vibrationally-sensitive electronics.

Abstract: Audio cables with predictable, musically relevant, and beneficial mechanical resonances and process with repeatable results for making same are disclosed, for use with microphonic or vibrationally-sensitive electronics. Electrically appropriate materials are selected for relevant and beneficial mechanical resonance characteristics in relation to a specified musical event. The materials are combined in a disclosed process that creates additional relevant and beneficial mechanical resonances. In a preferred embodiment, a speaker cable for a tube guitar amplifier has a mechanical resonance design that is selected to improve the sound of a specified musical situation, such as a pop or rock performance. Selected cable resonances are created by dividing the conductor assemblies into multiple partitions. The length, mass, and compliance of each partition determine the resulting mechanical resonances, and thus determine the sound of the audio cable when used with microphonic or vibrationally-sensitive electronics.
