Mains Cables
Our Mains cables actually combat background noise resulting in a dramatic
reduction in high-frequency distortion and listener-fatigue, most notably
at higher sound pressure levels. The improvements across the whole audio
spectrum can be exemplified by an enhancement in clarity and projection
of the mid-band, giving greater agility in associated bass performance.
With video images the picture becomes sharper and clearer with a far
more vivid depth to colours yet displaying less saturation and exhibiting
sharper edge definition and reduces noise allowing the hole image to
become far more 3 dimensional and natural.
It is ideal to use Merlin Mains Cables in conjunction Merlin Mains Distribution
Blocks to ensure perfect synergy for as much of the signal path as possible
and to ensure cable performance is maximised. Also due to the unique
non intrusive nature of our proprietory NAS Filters (Noise Absorbing
System), the more treatments used in the signal path in line, the more
effective they becomes unlike most filtering methods that will constrict
the signal strength in some way each time it is used steadily decreasing
the signal quality and strength.
Our Mains cables are all fitted standard with High Grade 3 Pin UK Mains
Plugs and High Grade 3 Pin 10Amp IEC Plugs. Also available is the fitting
of High Current 3 Pin 16Amp IEC Mains Plugs or 2 Pin IEC Connectors
(Figure8) depending on the model chosen. Although our mains cables can
be made up of some very complex designs and thick diameter cables we
have ensured through appropriate design that they are still very pliable
to make installation as easy as possible in all circumstances. As with
all our cables custom lengths are also available on request due to our
in house manufacture.
Mains Cables Explained
Merlin Cables Mains Leads are made from multi-strand laboratory-spec
high-purity copper with carefully selected dielectric materials chosen
for their sonic and electrical performance and employ our advanced absorption
techniques. All our mains products offer significant improvements in
sound and picture quality on all devices, with the top of the range
obviously giving the greatest improvement in resolution.
All Merlin Mains Cables use non-intrusive absorption techniques designed
to remove damaging RF (radio frequency) and EM (electro-magnetic) interference.
These techniques enable the components in a hi-fi system to operate
far more efficiently without suffering from the detrimental effect of
harmful harmonic noise. Leaked emissions from the equipment itself and
those picked up by the cable represent the focus of the proprietary
system on all our cables. Despite the best efforts of equipment manufacturers
to deal with the problem of RF and EM interference, a mains cable can
still transmit RF picked up internally from equipment or from household
mains supply -using a screened cable to combat these problems is not
effective.
The philosophy of Merlin Cables is to remove the problems before it
enters the hi-fi system. The NAS (noise absorbing system) is designed
to work at frequencies of 20MHz and above, with a bandwidth greater
than 30GHz, We now fit multiple treatments to all our Mains Cables.
Models Available
Tarantula mains cable -
RRP £50
UK CUSTOMERS CALL FOR DIRECT PRICE
Constructed using 1mm² high purity copper conductors with mechanical
damping braid and incorporating non-intrusive twin NAS technology to
remove problem RF (radio frequency) and EM (electro magnetic) interference
from the mains supply. Also incorporating twin screening with thick
copper foil and high density copper braid to aid in the rejection of
radiation of RF interference. Available with either 10 Amp IEC or Figure8
plugs as standard. Available in any length to order but standard lengths
are 1m and can be ordered as 3 Pin UK or Euro Shuko Connections as standard.
For other regions and styles please contact us for details.

Black Widow mains cable
- RRP £85
UK CUSTOMERS CALL FOR DIRECT PRICE
Constructed using 1.5mm² high purity copper conductors with mechanical
damping braid and incorporating non-intrusive twin NAS technology to
remove problem RF and EM interference from the mains supply. Also incorporating
twin screening with thick copper foil and high density copper braid
to aid in the rejection of radiation of RF interference. Black Widow
will always out perform Tarantula in all situations but in particular
it is far more suitable for use on any Higher Current drawing device
such as power amplifiers and screens. Available with either 10amp IEC
or Figure8 plugs as standard but also available with 16amp IEC. Available
in any length to order but standard lengths are 1m and can be ordered
as 3 Pin UK or Euro Shuko Connections as standard. For other regions
and styles please contact us for details..
What Hi-Fi 4 Star Review Product.
Funnelweb mains cable
- RRP £150
UK CUSTOMERS CALL FOR DIRECT PRICE
Building on the technology pioneered on the award-winning Black Widow
Mains Cable the Funnelweb employs copper conductors of a larger cross-sectional
area (2x 1.5mm² conductors) for higher current carrying capacity.
The Funnelweb features a helical spiral construction consisting of six
1.5mm² conductors, spiraled around a polymer former. Utilising
a twin form of Merlin’s proprietary Noise Absorption System (NAS),
the new Funnelweb exhibits vastly improved spatial performance over
the already impressive Black Widow, notably in the perception of depth
and height within the sound stage. Available with Gold Plated Copper
Pin 10amp IEC plug as standard but also available with 16amp IEC. Available
in any length to order but standard lengths are 1m and can be ordered
as 3 Pin UK or Euro Shuko Connections as standard. For other regions
and styles please contact us for details.
Scorpion mains cable -
RRP £300
UK CUSTOMERS CALL FOR DIRECT PRICE
Utilises Merlin's IRC (Inert Resin Coating) technology in its construction
drastically minimising skin effect problems of multi-strand cables arranged
in twin opposing helical spirals. Incorporating Twin non intrusive NAS
technology and the latest mechanical damping to reduce noise and cable
resonance. Also featuring our latest design thick copper foil screening.
Available with Gold Plated Copper Pin 10amp IEC plug as standard but
also available with 16amp IEC. Available in any length to order but
standard lengths are 1m and can be ordered as 3 Pin UK or Euro Shuko
Connections as standard. For other regions and styles please contact
us for details.
