R-TEC - technological innovations Ricable
With the advent of the new Range, Ricable has introduced a number of important innovations, performing prototyping work supported by technical studies in order to choose materials and construction techniques to match the new conductors and connectors, thus completing the production of innovative and higher-performing cables in every system use.
The most innovative technologies have been implemented in the series Invictus, however, the smaller series also enjoy the studies derived from the top of the range, in order to realize a range scaled by requirements and features.
Below are the most important technological innovations involving building geometries, insulation, and shielding.
New Geometries
With the advent of the new MARC© conductors, we have come up with new ways of constituting multiwire conductors and new rules of interfacing with insulators and shielding. The goal is to improve the electrical specifications, which, depending on the type of audio cable, most affect the sound performance. In particular, we have studied conductive surfaces specific to the cable type and detorsion chords with a Biella Crank system that allow Twisting without stretching the conductors.
New Insulations
In dielectric and non-dielectric insulators, we have incorporated new materials not generally used in Hi-Fi cable production, demonstrating our aptitude for unconventional experimentation. Among the major innovations is the use of new thermoplastic compounds that allow for better dielectric specifications than polyethylene and greater flexibility to PVC, as well as better preservation of contact copper characteristics. Another major innovation is the inclusion in some models of a Germanium-based material that impressively improves background noise in the audio signal (RNR System).
New Screens
The development work on the screens in the new range was a continuation of past studies. We identified in each project which screens were the most effective, both in terms of structure and material, in order to determine screens that were efficient and never superfluous.
