Named for the Greek God of War, the Ares S copper cable from Effect Audio brings forth an immense sense of POWER in your music. Featuring a proprietary dual geometric design, it showcases an enhanced sound characterized by a warm vocal that is mesmerizing and alluring. With an improved frequency response, the Ares presents itself as a lush and emotive cable that is cleaner and more detailed.
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.
At twenty-four gauge by four wires, the copper cable imparts physical integrity yet is lightweight and woven such that it can drape easily. I forget it is there while using it. Sound is flawless and build quality is perfect. I am using the MMCX connectors and they form a tight, solid bond with my SE846 monitors. They inspire more confidence than the stock Shure cable. The Ares S cable is very attractive as well. Finally - the best for last - the terminal connector is unequivocally the nicest I have seen or used on any audio cable of any termination.
