Product Description

For Those Who Want the Best: Monster Ultra Series THX-Certified Home Theatre Cable Monster's Ultra Series is a result of hundreds of hours of critical listening, testing, re-evaluation, and engineering refinements. Only the most advanced Monster technologies, designs and materials were used. And of course, every cable had to meet the stringent certification standards set by THX. As you'll see and hear, the results are ultra impressive. Today's High Resolution Audio Sources Require Higher Performance Analog Audio Cable DVD Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD) are some of the highest quailty sources available today. How many analog cables you need depends upon the format. DVD Audio, for example, requires six channels of analog audio outpurs connecting to a proper AV receiver which has six channels of audio input. Introducing Monster Ultra Series THX-Certified Analog Audio Interconnects Whatever high resolution Audio format you use, Monster Ultra Analog Audio cables ensure that the accuracy and dynamic impact of the original signal is captured with more realism, more power, and amazing clarity. Leading edge technologies include Bandwidth Balanced multiple gauge wire networks for meticulous frequency response and elimination of phase distortions and time smear. The result is an exceptionally balanced, coherent sound.

Customer Reviews

Beware of the tight fit! Multichannel connection...ouch!
I have used every version of Monster's audio interconnect cables and the THX version has two issues that should be "fixed". When connecting to the RCA jacks the turbine-cut connector is too stiff and too tight and you risk damage to the RCA jack and your fingers. I used 3 pair of these to make the connection for SACD and each of the 6 varied from hard to near-impossible to push on (they all had to be "stretched" by putting them on a non-functioning RCA jack where I could at least get leverage, but inconsistent fit and difficult even then). This exposed the second issue; the connectors are big and just barely fit side-by-side as is required in a analog multi-channel array (SACD or DVD). And this array makes getting all 12 connectors secured (6 on each end) a ridiculous task. I appreciate the need for a good secure connection but this is not it.

OK the cables are good once on and function perfectly on the SACD playbacks. The price is good but you do get what you pay for...inexpensive AudioQuest would have been 3 times higher...$180 v $60.

Worth the hype?
I'm an old school musician. Good ears. Good cables have always been a must: Always just for durability and insulation. But the new high tech very expensive types that enhance bass or treble? This is a newer concept. I compared video cables on my DVD player: Component. Both Monster. One 30 dollars the other 120$. There was enough of a difference to gulp and buy the 120$ one. Because of this difference I tried with audio. These audio cables do make a difference if you have the equipment that "hears" the response. If you have expensive equipment it makes no sense to get cheap cables. Like putting low octane fuel in a Ferrari. If you don't care or the equipment is general quality then any Monster will cover you for insulation. It always makes sense to get better cables that come with the equipment. These cables are the lowest of the high-end types that enhance the quality of the sound in specific ways. Good enough for me. They sound great. Crisp and rich. Gives me a bit more volume also. And just to note: These cables have an arrow on them which tells you which way the sound needs to travel. The arrow points toward the player from the source.

Expensive
Good quality but very expensive for what you get. Your mainly paying for the name. I saw no difference between the Monster cable and ones that cost less than half the money.
