Abstract

An audio signal cable consisting of various combinations of two or more distinct types of conductors. The cable contains at least two conductors of different types. The individual conductors within the cable may be individually insulated or uninsulated. The individual conductors may also be of varying shapes and sizes. The conductors are surrounded by a common insulation. Combining at least two types of different conductors within the cable provides the cable with a versatility to be adaptable to a wide variety of sound applications.

Claims

1. An audio signal cable comprising a signal multiple core conduit and a return multiple core conduit, the diameter of said signal conduit and said return conduit being equal;

said signal and said return multiple core conduits each containing at least two types of conductors, wherein said conductors are different in shape, parallel arrayed and surrounded by a common insulation.

2. The audio signal cable of claim 1, wherein at least one conductor is a circular solid wire conductor and at least one conductor is a flat solid wire conductor.

3. The audio signal cable of claim 1, wherein at least one conductor is a circular solid wire conductor and at least one conductor is a tinsel wire conductor.

4. The audio signal cable of claim 1, wherein at least one conductor is a circular solid wire conductor and at least one conductor is a magnet wire conductor.

5. The audio signal cable of claim 1, wherein at least one conductor is a circular solid wire and at least one conductor is a stranded wire conductor.

6. An audio signal cable comprising a signal multiple core conduit and a return multiple core conduit, the diameter of said signal conduit and said return conduit being equal;

said signal and said return multiple core conduits each containing at least one stranded wire conductor and at least one tinsel wire conductor, wherein said conductors are different in shape, parallel arrayed and surrounded by a common insulation.

7. The cable of claim 6, further comprising at least one circular solid wire conductor.

8. The cable of claim 7, wherein at least one said circular solid wire conductor is insulated and at least one said solid circular wire conductor is uninsulated.

9. The cable of claim 7, further comprising at least one flat solid wire conductor.

10. An audio signal cable comprising a signal multiple core conduit and a return multiple core conduit, the diameter of said signal conduit and said return conduit being equal;

said signal and said return multiple core conduits each containing at least one stranded wire conductor and at least one flat solid wire conductor, wherein said conductors are different in shape, parallel arrayed and surrounded by a common insulation.

11. The cable of claim 10, further comprising at least one tinsel wire conductor.
