Abstract

An audio signal cable, the features of which are that the audio signal cable has arrayed solid and tinsel wire conductors. After each of the conductors are insulated and bundled, they are placed into a surrounding insulation. The solid conductors are of a circular and a flat, thin shape. The solid conductors are of differing larger and smaller diameters and, furthermore, disposed in unequal quantities.

Claims

1. A method of making an improved signal cable capable of balancing a full range of frequencies, comprising:

placing a forward and a return conduits in the same cable, said forward and return conduits being of equal diameter;

each of said forward and return conduits comprised of different types of conductors, wherein at least two of said conductors are different in cross-sectional shape, and wherein each conductor is capable of handling a specific frequency range.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein each said conductor is individually insulated.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said type of conductor capable of handling the high frequency range is a tinsel wire.

4. The method of claim 2 wherein said type of conductor capable of handling the low frequency range is a solid conductor which is cross-sectionally circular.

5. The method of claim 2 wherein said type of conductor capable of handling the medium frequency range is a solid conductor which is cross-sectionally flat.

6. The method of claim 2 further comprising placing filler elements disposed laterally among said conductors.

7. A method of optimizing a balance of frequencies in a multiple-conduit signal cable comprising selecting an optimal combination of tinsel wires and solid conductors, said solid conductors having different diameters and different cross-sections.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein said different diameters have a two-fold difference in length.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein said different cross-sections are a circle and a rectangle.
