Tributaries Subwoofer Cables OFC Insulated

Tributaries introduced a series of new subwoofer cables, including the Series 2, Series 4, Series 6, and Series 8 cables. There are also Series 4 Y-cables for use in mono systems or for when you don’t have a subwoofer with the ability to handle a distinct mono input signal. Tributaries has been a brand we’ve used for quite some time, and it’s really cool to get behind a company whose products are hand-made in Orlando, Florida. These new Tributaries subwoofer cables are gorgeous and sound as good as they look.

Here’s how the new subwoofer cables break down in terms of features and specifications:

Tributaries Series 4 Subwoofer Cables

These hand-soldered subwoofer cables pack a high quality 22 gauge (22AWG) solid OFC copper center conductors and are features two 100% aluminum shields (aluminum mylar/aluminum).

Stocked in 1 meter to 4 meter lengths, these cables can also be produced in custom lengths.

Specifications:

Construction: Solid 22AWG
Material: HC-OFC copper conductors

Tributaries Series 6 Subwoofer Cables

The conductors have a unique individually insulated dual-gauge configuration for superior sound clarity. Stocked in 1 meter to 4 meter lengths, these cables can also be produced in custom lengths.

This is Tributaries’ top of the line subwoofer cable. These cables hold nothing back and can support extremely long runs without any signal loss. The conductors are 20 gauge (20AWG) long-crystal oxygen-free copper conductors (LC-OFC). They’re also, like the Series 6 subwoofer cables, constructed with individually insulated dual-gauge conductors. The Series 8 conductors come with a unique high-end RCA connector design that provides precision strain relief as well as a secure connection. Stocked in 1 meter to 4 meter lengths, these cables can also be produced in custom lengths.

Specifications:

Construction: Solid 20AWG
Conductor: LC-OFC copper
Insulation: 1.2mm PE (polyethylene) + 1.0mm PE
Shielding: Aluminum mylar 100% shield with 25% overlap plus tinned copper braid 95%

These subwoofer cables look fantastic, and to think that they’re hand-made with care in Orlando, Florida makes them even more special. You can get basic, cheap subwoofer cables and they’ll get the job done, but Tributaries brings it up a notch, with a design and build quality that is a cut above the norm. These cables are not only built with an attention to detail that isn’t seen nearly as much in the industry as it used to be, but they have an aesthetic design that really complements a great-looking subwoofer.
