Esprit audio beta speaker cable 3m - discontinued series

A 3m pair of Esprit Beta loudspeaker cable, the entry point to the French maker's serious ranges. Multi stranded 5N OCC copper, two different dielectric materials in one cable and 20 micron silver plated connections. The series is no longer made, which is why the price is what it is. Beta is the first step into Esprit's main ranges, below Celesta and Eterna. This is a 3m pair of loudspeaker cable from a discontinued series. Esprit moved the catalogue to its G10 generation in 2026 and withdrew the earlier Beta, so this is G9 series stock rather than a lesser product. For anyone building a first proper system, it is one of the more sensible ways to buy a French made cable. What it does Loudspeaker cable carries the amplifier's full output to the drive units, so cross section and connection quality matter more than anything exotic. Beta uses multi stranded 5N OCC copper, continuously cast to reduce the number of crystal boundaries along the conductor and sourced from a Japanese supplier. The conductors are laid out symmetrically while the insulation is deliberately asymmetrical, using two different materials, a stiff high temperature PVC and a soft silicone. Connections are silver plated copper at 20 microns, and a ferrite choke is fitted to reduce radio frequency interference. How it sounds and where it fits A cable is the smallest meaningful change in a system, and what it does depends on everything around it. The honest case for Beta is proportion. In a system of roughly €2,500 to €6,000 it replaces generic wire with something properly engineered without spending more on cable than the amplifier deserves. A 3m pair gives room for the rack to sit outside the loudspeaker line or for wider loudspeaker spacing. If you are already past that budget, Celesta is the next step up and we list it in the same lengths.

Origin: France Condition and what is included This is brand new, from the G9 series. The cable was never fitted to a system and has never been used, and it is offered from the discontinued series at a price that reflects the series being replaced rather than the condition of the cable. Purchased new from Esprit in December 2025. Supplied in its original Esprit box. Sold with the full two year legal guarantee, which cannot be reduced on new goods. The sleeve is black. The cable is directional and marked with arrows. Frequently asked questions Is this a downgrade because it is discontinued? No. It is the same cable Esprit sold when the series was current, built to the same specification. Only its place in the catalogue has changed. Banana or spade, which should I choose? Whatever your amplifier and loudspeaker terminals take securely. Spades give a larger contact area, bananas are easier to fit in a tight space. Ask us what is fitted to this pair. What is the next step up? Celesta, which moves to 6N copper, progressive shielding and better terminations. Eterna sits above that with silver plated conductors and air based insulation.
