Overview
Crystal Cables are created and assembled using the most reliable conductors and isolators available. Based on aerospace and military developments, the company employs hi-tech materials like Kapton and PEEK for insulation.
Crystal Cable relies exclusively on advanced in-house silver-gold metallurgy and perfect terminations from custom machinery. Repeatable, consistent, flawless every time.
Crystal Cables are ultra thin, ultra flexible and have the highest RFI and EMI rejection ratio on the market.
While other companies bulk up their cables with paralleled shields and ever more complex layers, Crystal Cables shed all such redundancies by using superior materials right from the start. Doing things right means less becomes more:
- Less mass
- Less dielectric
- Less plastic
- Less resonance.
So much less equals one very large more: more uncorrupted signal, more music — no noise, no distortion,
just pure sound.
Backed by research and development in Europe’s most advanced testing laboratory for cables, Crystal is based on solid science, advanced engineering and uncompromised execution.
Besides sounding better and being far easier to integrate into the living or media room environment,
Crystal Cables also look great!
Beautiful design, technical perfection, exceptional sound quality. This is Crystal Cable.

The compact design and advanced technology of Crystal Cable comes from research in aerospace engineering which has been adapted to the invention of high-end cable for domestic use.
In aerospace engineering they are always looking for strong, light and heat-resistant materials and constructions. Kapton is one such material and, used as an insulator, is one of the reasons for the extraordinary sound quality and the ultra-thin appearance of Crystal cables.
Kapton is an incredibly thin film/foil with extremely good mechanical properties. Combined with our advanced metallurgy and coaxial, ultra flexible compact geometries, our cables provide the highest radio frequency interference and electro-magnetic interference rejection in the market without requiring complex layering.
Crystal uses a unique silver and gold combination which helps deliver better sound and signals. The very pure silver Crystal uses has a crystal structure. That means by solidification of the metal, you get round-shaped crystal boundaries touching each other, buy having “bad places” where they don’t touch. These bad gaps are filled/injected with gold, which is the only metal that can be used for this. It makes the way of the electric signal smooth and in time again. — Gabi van der Kley, Crystal Cable BV
All Crystal Power Cables, from Piccolo to Reference, use a special geometry, a truly balanced system.
Two coaxial cables are twisted to achieve the needed amount of conducting wires: we use the two conductors, and the two shields together are connected to the ground. This is significantly different from the Interconnect or speaker cables where the conductor is used as + (positive) and the shield as - (negative)...except of the balanced interconnects, of course.
The Ultra Power cable is different again: there are four conductors in there, two on two connected, and the ground has a lot of shields…there are also special plugs for the Ultra Power—Rhodium-plated Furutech connectors are used for these models.
