Lava Cable is proud to announce that is now the only
authorized custom shop for the Van Damme Classic Instrument cable
in the U.S.
-
Van Damme Classic instrument cable is a low capacitance
cable for unbalanced audio use - in particular with guitars,
keyboards and other unbalanced output musical devices. Great
attention has been paid to the capacitance figure and overall
screening of this cable type, as the low voltage signals
associated with unbalanced audio are susceptible to high
frequency losses and environmental noise. The twin screens of
close lapped copper and conductive thermoplastic also minimize
any handling noise, making this cable ideal for mobile on-stage
use.
-
This cable now uses a mixture of Ultra Pure Silver Plated
Oxygen Free Copper and Ultra Pure Oxygen Free Copper for its
conductors. As with the ultra pure oxygen free copper used in
other Van Damme Cables ‘solderability’ and conductivity are much
improved. The additional advantage of UPSPOFC is that silver is
approximately 5% less resistive than copper. High frequencies,
which gravitate to the outside of the conductor due to the skin
effect, are conducted slightly more efficiently than the lower
frequencies which tend to saturate the UPOFC conductor. In
addition silver is less susceptible to corrosion than copper and
so the plating offers a protective barrier between the conductor
and the insulation or free air.
-
The insulation used is foamed polyethylene (PEF).
Polyethylene is a good insulation material for this type of
signal due to its low dielectric constant and relative
flexibility. Foaming, the blowing of air pockets into the
polyethylene material, reduces the dielectric constant even
further - to around 1.7 to 1.8. The use of this insulator
ensures that capacitance figures are kept as low as possible and
are also stable throughout the cable. In musical terms the low
capacitance of the cable means that the high frequencies within
the signal are transmitted efficiently and cleanly and do not
bleed to the screen of the cable causing dull and lifeless
signal transmission.
-
The PEF insulated centre conductor is then over sheathed
with a conductive thermoplastic tube and tightly lapped oxygen
free copper screen to provide excellent screening and also
negligible handling noise. The outer jacket is a soft flexible
anti abrasion PVC/neoprene composite for the optimum balance
between flexibility and durability in use.
