The Remote Sense Cable

Remote sense is a special purpose speaker cable to be used with Spectron amplifiers. These literally extend the feedback loop of the amplifier all the way to the speakers. It is implemented by use of Spectron's special four conductor speaker cable with a Neutrik connector that mates to a Neutrik receiver on the rear of the Musician II. Two of the wires connect the amplifier to the speaker just like a conventional system. The second pair senses the actual voltage at the speaker end of the cable. Spectron's exclusive remote sense technology is an important step in compensating for the otherwise unavoidable loss in fidelity caused by even the best speaker cables. By comparison conventional amplifiers can only sense the signal at the output of the amplifier. All wire has resistance, inductance and capacitance. Even if there was a perfect metal, (no resistance) the effects of inductance and capacitance would still be there. Remote sense compensates for these effects. Spectron's remote makes corrections for errors in both the amplifier and the cable together, not just the amplifier. While this is the most advance speaker cable technology available, the cost for remote sense cables is actually less than using the high end cables with exotic materials.

Neutrik Speakon® connectors are used in pro audio because of the novel wipe contacts, 30 amp rating and durability. Made in Switzerland, Neutrik connectors are considered by pros as the highest quality available.

Feedback

In amplifiers, feedback is used to increase bandwidth and reduce distortion and noise. Including the speaker cable in the feedback loop allows the errors caused by the speaker cable to be reduced by the amplifier's feedback loop.
