Price is for one Subwoofer Cable
Get the most out of your REL Subwoofers with the Black Dragon Speaker Cable, built in-house by Moon Audio by hand, every day.
REL Subwoofers require a custom configuration. On the Subwoofer side is the Neutrik Speakon Connection. This, in turn, is connected directly to the Binding posts on your amplifier. Note: Most amplifiers have 5-way binding posts. Thus, if your main speaker cables utilize Spades, you will want to choose bananas for the REL Sub cable. And vice versa—if your speaker cables have Bananas, order the REL cable with spades. Stacking spades is never a good idea because you will never get a tight connection. If your amplifier will only accept Bananas, then ask us about our Banana options that allow another Banana to be inserted into the back side of the Banana.
The Black Dragon Speaker Cable is an important component to efficiently utilize what REL calls the Active Bass Controller (ABC). This ensures a seamless integration between the subwoofer and the main speakers. It provides the same signal to the subwoofer that the main speakers receive. You will see the connection side of your amplifier has 3 connections. The Black (-) and White (+) heatshrink will be connected to the Left Channel ,and the Red (+) will be connected to the Right Channel. The Right Channel will have no ground connection.
For more information, you should consult your REL Subwoofer Manual.
The Black Dragon Speaker Cable is a smooth, transparent-sounding cable that falls on the warm side of neutral, yet is very dynamic. This cable has a full presentation that adds body and warmth to your music without making it sound laid back or lush. It utilizes 4 x 11 AWG ultra-pure, slow-drawn annealed and enamel-coated copper conductors that smooth out the top end while adding bottom-end weight, making the midrange sound more musical. It is generally pretty flexible given the size of the conductors. Each strand acts as its own conductor due to the enamel coating, thus reducing skin effect. It's a great cable for vocals and a variety of music genres. Available in a variety of lengths and terminations, the Black Dragon Speaker Cable can be configured in standard, biwire, or biwire/biamp by custom request.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors with poor geometries, rubber jackets, and other issues that can limit the performance of your equipment.
Dragon Audio Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are crafted with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to deliver the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is free from impurities and has crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Black Dragon Sound Signature
The Black Dragon is our top-of-the-line flagship cable designed to increase musicality and provide a warmer tonality with amazing bass performance. Copper strands increase the boldness by providing more slam and attack. It smooths out and provides a more romantic sound signature. A great way to get lost in the music.
The Black Dragon pairs well with all genres, especially Classical, Blues, Rock & Roll, R&B, and anything with a toe-tapping beat like EDM and Dance music. That being said, the Black Dragon can be paired with many other genres as well. If you love to get lost in the music and want to feel like you are at the performance, then this is the cable for you. Are your headphones a little thin sounding and need more meat on the bones, give the Black Dragon a try. Hear those subsonic frequencies like never before.
Cable Design
The Black Dragon has been designed to complement our Silver Dragon line. After receiving many requests from customers with systems where Silver wasn't ideal, we set out to make the best possible copper cables to fit their needs. The results exceeded our wildest dreams!
In the Black Dragon, you'll find an extremely smooth, transparent cable that's not too warm-sounding. For years, our hearing tastes have driven us toward silver, never quite appreciating the sound of copper to the same degree. Now that has changed! The Black Dragon possesses the great detail and presence of silver while providing the smooth, jazzy sound of copper. Only your ears can be the judge.
Taking what we learned from the Silver Dragon Speaker cables, we used just the right ratio of size stranding to optimize the sound and ended up with a new geometry using a special stranded grouping. The copper strandings are all 99.9999% high-quality, low-crystalline structure, pure copper. There are 4x11 AWG conductors. A standard run will yield approximately 2x6 AWG conductors, and the bi-wire will yield 4x11 AWG conductors.
The Black Dragon uses an internal bi-wire design, which will help cut costs for those of you who want to run bi-wire. We continued to use Teflon coating, as it is the best dielectric. We then cover it in a protective layer of Techflex and solder your connector of choice.
