Named after the Greek swift hero and Prince of Phoenicia, the Cadmus upgrade cable from Effect Audio brings forth a strong sense of CLARITY, speed and well-rounded enhancement to your music. Boasting a premium UP-OCC silver-plated copper litz cable, the low end is now bold but controlled. With Cadmus, the star here is a higher resolution sound coupled with outstanding treble response, providing for a right amount of crisp without sounding harsh. Set out on an extraordinary adventure with Cadmus!
The tri-factor focus for the Signature Series revolves around Sound, Material, and Design.
Sound
For the Signature Series, Effect Audio is putting their brand out there as a testament to great sound. Over the years, many brands have emerged, but EA is eager to confidently show that with their experience, they have what it takes to provide exceptional value while pushing the limits to exceed sonic expectations for an entry level upgrade cable.
Material
With the aforementioned dedication to sound in mind, EA has committed to use only top grade materials. Applying the lessons learned from the EA flagship models along with industry experience gained over the years, EA is able to design new cable geometries and structures to achieve audio quality worthy of Effect Audio's stamp of approval.
Design
Endeavoring to stretch value even further to customers, EA has proudly designed a custom Y-Split and Termination just for the Signature Series. From the intricacy of the polished / brushed aluminum mix to the raw beauty of the Forged Carbon Fibre, the design team spared no expense in creating an aesthetic that is a feast for the eyes.
* Ergonomic Performance Optimization: creates outstanding flexibility and maneuverability without quality compromise for ideal and comfortable fit for extended listening.
The Cadmus has a relatively low price compared to most Effect Audio cables. It’s not quite as full sounding as the Eros S, but it is $100 cheaper. I can recommended it for your first upgraded headphone cable. I find them to be very effective with the Sennheiser IE 600s. I bought the Eros, but the thick wires over the ear gave me some of the same issues I had with the stock wire, unseating the tips and affecting the sound. If you are looking to replace the cables on your IE600/900’s I can recommend these. They also did improve the sound quality on my Campfire Audio IEM’s over the Timestream cables that they came with.
