Ricable, a manufacturer of high-fidelity cables of Italian craftsmanship excellence, unveils the first, big news of the year that has just begun: 2024. Invictus Signal Reference and Invictus XLR Reference replace Invictus Signal and Invictus XLR in the catalog.

Invictus Signal Reference and Invictus XLR Reference were the most difficult to improve, as they were the first to be designed in the new design course starting in 2018. As was the case for the other Ricable cables that have seen an update stamped “Reference”, even in these two cases we are not talking about an upheaval, but rather an improvement. On the other hand, modifying such popular products too invasively would not have been reasonable.

There are basically three main improvements. Firstly, the conductor has been increased for better acoustic signal transport (+13%). We have gone from 0.64 mm² conductors to the previous 0.57 mm² with 0.08 mm strands. Secondly, a double dielectric has been inserted with two newly developed R-TEC polymers, which can further reduce the electrical capacity (-20%) and completely eliminate noise. Thirdly, the shields have been strengthened and therefore improved (+10%) to completely reduce external interference.

The Invictus Signal Reference and the Invictus XLR Reference are two cables for which break-in becomes essential. This is due to the dielectric, which reaches maximum efficiency after at least one hundred hours of polarization that occurs with the passage of the low-voltage electrical signal (audio signal). Everything good that was available in the previous cables (OFC copper connectors, Ricable Noise Reduction, semi-balanced and balanced geometries with triple shielding and much more) has been retained.

Typically, performers have had to choose between a dedicated in-ear monitor mix or an ambient experience. Now, you can hear and feel the energy and input from the audience, fellow performers and the stage, together with the superior audio clarity, frequency response, and punch that only a Westone Audio in-ear monitor can provide.The passive StageSense filter system is built into the housings on all AM PRO X models. This provides linear attenuation, reducing external ambient noise by 10dB and providing the user with a clear sense of their environment without jeopardising audio quality.

Campfire Audio is launching two new IEMs, both of them high-end adventures that you’ve been looking forward to, upgrades to Andromeda and Solaris. Andromeda Emerald Sea is designed to make the shell more ergonomic and comfortable, as it looks more round, and smoother, and the design also has a new acoustic purpose. It uses Five Balanced Armature Drivers, with Dual Diaphragms, to have the best sonic from the Andromeda Series to date. The new Andromeda is purposed to sound better than the older one, with better acousitc range, lower sensitivity, and a sweeter analogue glow. Campfire Audio also has the new Solaris Stellar Horizon, which is a Quad Hybrid Driover IEM, with three dual-diaphragm Balanced Armature drivers, paired with one Radial Venting and a 10mm ADLC dynamic driver, to create better air volume and expand the physical space in which the driver operates. This should increase the dynamic range and the soundstage greatly and improve on the energy and power the sound of the new Solaris has. The shell is also made to be more ergonomic, and I, for one, am really looking forward to the improved comfort and sonics of the new Campfire IEMs, and I’m literally eager to review them here, you’ll be the first to learn when my works on those go live.
