Siltech
Royal Triple Crown
Speaker Cable
(Made In Netherlands)

Overview

As Siltech’s finest ever cable range, the Royal Crown series replaces our highly acclaimed Royal Signature series. A clean-sheet, no-compromise design, it covers every popular audiophile application, from analogue and digital interconnects, to power cords and loudspeaker cables.

The Royal Crown series of analog interconnects offers cost-no-object construction quality using the very finest materials.

First and foremost, the S10 conductor is the best that Siltech has ever made. Our previous G9 generation used gold to fill the boundaries in the silver crystal structure, to improve conductivity. The latest S10 moves to a wholly monocrystal silver structure, with no boundaries to fill in. Its better conductivity gives superlative levels of transparency, detail, depth, and musicality.

To reap the full benefits of this state-of-the-art conductor, Royal Crown uses 6-core Hexagon construction. This symmetrical wire distribution is more efficient than other types, making for lower inductance. The analog interconnects sport Kapton and Teflon insulation with special air gaps, and wide range shielding for reduced capacitance. Signature resonance damping is employed to minimise the effect of microphony upon the cable, and in turn, the electronics that are connected to it. Improved connectors are also fitted.

The series includes interconnect versions and specially designed tonearm phono cables, and a choice of Royal Single Crown, Royal Double Crown, and Royal Triple Crown levels. As you progress up the range, conductor thickness and spacing increase for even better sound.

Material science

The type of conductor used is central to the performance of an audio cable. Various materials have been tried over the years, from copper to carbon fibre, silver, gold, or combinations of them. These all have their own characteristics which have a fundamental effect on sound quality. But it isn’t just about what material you choose; it also depends greatly on the production technique used to make it.

Looking under a microscope, you’ll see that metal is a lattice or matrix constructed from inpidual atoms, which is imperfectly constructed from multiple large crystals, all locked together. Between those crystals are boundaries and voids – barriers that any signal passing through the metal must cross.

These interruptions and discontinuities in the conductors don’t show up via empirical measurement techniques, but subjective listening can detect them all too clearly.

Because human hearing is a primary defence mechanism that’s capable of discerning the distance and direction of any potential threat, it is incredibly sensitive to any disturbance in the patterns and natural structure of noises all around us.

So, while our auditory system might not have been designed specifically to appreciate recorded music, it is astonishingly capable of analysing and appreciating the complex shapes, patterns, and structures in a musical performance – and recognising any distortions or deviations that afflict them

Siltech S10 Monocrystal Silver

Siltech’s continuous single silver crystal metallurgy completely eliminates microcracks, giving the lowest possible resistance and distortion.

Siltech (short for SILver TECHnology) has become famous for its silver metallurgy used in its cables and even in loudspeakers and electronics. Siltech’s first invention – back in 1997 – to solve the problem of these crystal voids of natural silver was its proprietary Silver-Gold alloy, now having reached the ninth generation G9. It fills those tiny gaps inside the crystal structure with pure gold, leading to a more accurate and enjoyable sound than any other type of silver. You can read more on this here.

Although filling in these microscopic cracks brings huge sonic benefits, it cannot match a conductor where those voids are entirely eliminated in the first place.

Siltech S10 Monocrystal Silver

Siltech’s continuous single silver crystal metallurgy completely eliminates microcracks, giving the lowest possible resistance and distortion.

Developing our own specialist, audio-specific measurement techniques, Siltech was able to detect and evaluate the impact of the barriers and voids within conductor materials, and identify the myriad of micro distortions they produce. This lets us set about reducing the damage that they cause to the audio signal passing through our cables. This approach went way beyond simply selecting the raw conductor material.

Using sophisticated annealing processes, adjusting both the temperature and rate at which our conductors are drawn and how long they take to cool, we were able to produce larger and more consistent crystal structures, reducing the barriers and discontinuities in the signal path.

While many manufacturers have worked with what’s commonly called ‘long crystal’ or ‘monocrystal’ copper, Siltech combined this technology with our superlative quality silver to produce our groundbreaking Monocrystal Silver cables. Not only does it reduce distortion, but our monocrystal silver wire also has a conductivity of 106% to even 112% of regular silver wire, leading to an extremely detailed, transparent, and homogeneous sound.
