The Cardas Legacy of Mathematical Perfection

George Cardas didn't set out to build cables—he set out to solve a mathematical puzzle. A former telephone company engineer with perfect pitch, Cardas discovered that cable-induced distortions followed predictable patterns based on conductor geometry. His solution, incorporating Golden Ratio proportions found throughout nature, revolutionized cable design and established Cardas Audio as the thinking audiophile's choice since 1987.

The Clear Cygnus represents the democratization of Cardas's flagship Clear technology. Using the same Matched Propagation Conductors and Clear geometry as cables costing twice as much, Cygnus brings that legendary Cardas midrange magic—the ability to render voices and instruments with uncanny realism—to systems where $5,000 cables simply aren't practical. This isn't trickle-down technology; it's the full Clear experience in a more accessible package.

From their Bandon, Oregon facility, each Clear Cygnus pair undergoes the same obsessive construction as Cardas's statement cables. The conductors aren't just copper—they're Cardas Copper, drawn in a proprietary process that creates the purest, most musically coherent conductor available. The geometry isn't random—it follows Golden Ratio scaling that eliminates resonances and time-smear that plague conventional designs.

Clear Light Geometry Revolution

The Clear Cygnus employs Cardas's breakthrough Clear Light geometry—a simplified version of the flagship Clear Beyond that maintains the essential mathematical relationships while streamlining construction. Each conductor sits within its own air-tube dielectric, suspended in perfect isolation from interference. The balanced configuration of these XLR cables takes full advantage of this geometry, rejecting noise while preserving the delicate phase relationships that create soundstage depth.

The 2.5-meter length represents the sweet spot for serious installations—long enough to accommodate proper equipment placement without the signal degradation of excessive length. At this distance, the Clear geometry's superiority becomes even more apparent, maintaining temporal coherence where conventional cables introduce smearing and confusion.

Matched Propagation Technology

• Cardas Copper: Ultra-pure conductors drawn in proprietary process
• Golden Ratio Scaling: Eliminates resonances through natural mathematics
• Air-Tube Dielectric: Minimal dielectric absorption preserves dynamics
• Matched Propagation: All frequencies arrive simultaneously
• Shielding: Dual-layer with floating ground for absolute silence
• Terminations: Cardas XLR connectors with rhodium-plated contacts

"The Midrange Magic Is Addictive"

"Clear Cygnus delivers that famous Cardas midrange—organic, dimensional, and utterly believable. Voices have body and breath, instruments occupy real space. This is what high-end cables should do: disappear while revealing everything." - The Absolute Sound

"The Clear geometry works. Complex passages that confuse lesser cables remain perfectly sorted, each instrument distinct yet part of the whole. The 2.5-meter length showed no degradation compared to shorter samples." - Stereophile
