Oehlbach 1017 Referenz 4 mm²
Oehlbach speaker cable from the Referenz series, 4 mm² cross-section, designed with triple time compensation between the bass, midrange and treble registers.
Description
The 1017 Referenz is a speaker cable from Oehlbach, belonging to the manufacturer's Referenz series. It sits between the amplifier and the speakers, with the purpose of transmitting the audio signal with as little alteration as possible across the whole sound spectrum.
Its stated conductor cross-section is 4 mm², a gauge that allows for comfortable cable lengths without penalising signal transmission. The cable also incorporates triple time compensation between the bass, midrange and treble ranges: this design aims to have the different frequencies reach the speakers in a more synchronised way, a point that can influence the perceived coherence and precision of the sound reproduction.
This cable is aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts wishing to take care over the connection between their electronics and their speakers, in a setup where one seeks to get the best out of an already high-quality system, without aiming for professional use or a complex multiroom installation.
What to check before buying used
On a cable of this cross-section, attention should focus mainly on the connectors (spades or banana plugs): check for absence of play, oxidation or weakened crimping at both ends. The sheath deserves inspection along its full length to rule out pinching, cuts or crushing marks that could affect the internal shielding. A continuity test on each strand remains the most reliable way to confirm that no conductor has been broken before purchase.
