Sommer Cable Epilogue Micro Cable 3,0

37

Reference XLR Cable Pair

You can always make a mountain out of a mole hill - and that’s why we really worked up a sweat when we developed the EPILOGUE reference cable. Based on our legendary STRATOS, we have packed four wires into one jacket which allows them to be connected in a crossover mode to reduce the capacitive value. Each wire is 100% shielded by a tight copper mesh and a semiconductor. For enhanced conductivity all four wires have a carbon conductor smoothing. The EPILOGUE ensures – and this without a prolonged break-in time – an absolutely neutral and simultaneously highly musical reproduction.

The EPILOGUE has been on the market since late 2002 and already soon after was able to stand its ground in many reviews. It is the definitive reference cable with serious Hi-Fi dealers who attach great importance to a linear transmission, instead of decorating the vitrines with “candy-coloured power current lines“. Among others, it also graces the Skyline Studios in Düsseldorf which have a worldwide reputation for high-class productions.

We recommend this cable for connecting preamps and power amplifiers, audiophile CD and SACD players, turntables and of course for professional studio applications. Owing to its low wire-to-wire capacitance of approx. 35 pF and based on experience, it will produce almost no losses with a maximum length of 10 metres. Due to its elaborate processing and sophisticated wiring, the EPILOGUE is offered exclusively as a ready-made set.

The balanced version is available with "SATIN" XLR connectors, which have rotated, genuine gold-plated contacts in the male and female versions. These are produced by Neutrik especially for Sommer Cable. This is not commercially available.

  • Ideal for connections with the highest demands (pre / amplifier, CD player, DVD, DAT, ...), especially in the studio and hi-fi range
  • Very neutral, colouration-free and spatial sound image for the perfect reproduction, especially of classical instruments
  • The absolute reference in many renowned recording and mastering studios
  • Pre-assembled with gold-plated Neutrik XLR connectors NC3MX-SOM and NC3FX-SOM (specially made for Sommer Cable)
  • Insulated with Teflon and additional shielding
  • Extremely low capacity of 35pF wire / wire (crossover)
  • Cable length 3.0 metres
  • Pair
  • The cable has been tested on almost all high-end systems from acknowledged brands

(Fine-tuned on the reference systems B&W Nautilus & Matrix Series as well as STAX Headphones Japan)

Best XLR's in the game

If you don't want any compromise with your XLR connections then definitely look into these cables. This is Sommer's flagship cable, the quality is astounding and it does justice to your monitors, DAC's, hifi connections etc. It's on the pricey side but the inclusion of a pair of cables and it's ample 3m length make it a fair buy in my opinion. You will not be disappointed, highly recommended.

Very famous as Sommer's flagship product. This kind of cable indicates ultrahigh transparency and delivers signal with more musical density than other cables while keeping high resolution. Great connecting cable!

Vielleicht das perfekte Verbindungskabel
S.Merk 27.04.2022
Eines vorweg: Wer sich die Mühe macht, die Bewertungen dieses und von anderen Kabeln zu vergleichen, wird sich eine Sache fragen: Wie kann es sein, dass bei einem neutralen Referenzkabel die Wahrnehmung von Hochtonanteil, Bühne und was weiß ich nicht alles so stark differiert und das noch bei symmetrischen Verbindungen? Die Antwort ist einfach: Weil es sich hier um suggestive Unterschiede handelt, die weder messtechnisch, noch hörtechnisch belegbar sind. Bei Kabeln sind zwei Dinge wichtig: Die richtige Kapazität und die Übergangswiderstände, während den größten Anteil am Klang die Schallwandler und das Quellmaterial ausmachen, Grundverständnis in der Elektrotechnik kann an dieser Stelle helfen.

Trotzdem oder gerade deswegen ist das Epilogue ein verdammt gutes und kompromissloses Kabel. Nicht nur günstiger als die so genannten High-End-Kabel aus dem HiFi-Fachhandel, sondern vor Allem durch die massiven Stecker sehr solide und absolut verlässlich verarbeitet. Für die Verbindung zwischen wertigen Audio-Interfaces und Aktivmonitoren wie geschaffen, vor Allem auch mit entsprechender Farbmarkierung. Warum es allerdings dünner ist als die Referenz-Mikrofonkabel, mag an der potentiellen Belastung liegen. Für die Praxis und noch dazu bei symmetrischer Verbindung ist ein störungsfreier Musikgenuss gegeben.

Bei der kurzen Länge von jeweils drei Metern müssen wir aber die Kirche im Dorf lassen. Der Hersteller verspricht messtechnisch keine Verluste bis 10 Meter Länge, hier liegen wir also bei weniger als einem Drittel dessen und können uns auf eine unverfälschte Übertragung verlassen. Allerdings bieten das auch wesentlich günstigere Kabel, wenn auch nicht garantiert, so dass sich hier im Vergleich zu beispielsweise Cordial-Kabeln keine klangliche Steigerung ausmachen lässt. Anders würde es aussehen, wenn man jede Box mit 25 Metern Kabel zu jeder Seite verbinden würde. Bei der Verarbeitung und dem Material ist der Preis dennoch fair und gerechtfertigt.
