Kimber 8PR with VariStrand Speaker Cable Off The Reel (Per Metre)
Kimber 8PR Red/Black Off The Reel (Per Metre)
Sold in 1m increments. Enter the number of meters you require in the Qty. field above.
In 1979, Ray Kimber created his first speaker cables; 4PR and 8PR. These models quickly became very popular and were found in home systems and dealer showrooms around the world. His next speaker cable innovation came years later with the introduction of VariStrand™ conductors and with it the creation of 4VS and 8VS speaker cables.
Now these two models have come together to create the all-new Kimber PR loudspeaker cables, together with a nod to the original red and black colours of 70s PR.
Kimber’s technique of using different diameter copper strands within each insulated conductor to ensure that the cable has an even frequency response and doesn’t favour any particular frequency.
(Cp) parallel capacitance: 291 pF / meter
(Ls) series inductance: 0.12 uH / meter
(Rdc) dc loop resistance: 0.008 Ohm / meter

"what [these] cables do sonically is seriously special”
Read more about the StereoNET review here
"If you can stretch to 8PR over 4PR in any system, you should... it adds more depth and solidity to an already surprisingly deep and solid bass performance... making sounds wider and deeper in the mix"

"[8PR] is an excellent loudspeaker cable at the price that will ensure your system isn’t held back, especially when digging into the detail and dynamics of the music"
