Description
Translate to:
A 2.5m pair of Esprit Beta loudspeaker cable, the length that suits a rack placed between the loudspeakers. Multi stranded 5N OCC copper, twin dielectric construction and 20 micron silver plated connections. From a series Esprit no longer produce, which is what sets the price. This is Esprit's Beta loudspeaker cable in a 2.5m pair. Beta is the entry point to the maker's main ranges, sitting below Celesta and Eterna. The series has been discontinued since Esprit introduced its G10 generation in 2026, so what is offered here is G9 series stock at a clearance price rather than a cut down version of anything. What it does Loudspeaker cable has to pass the whole output of the amplifier, so the priorities are a generous conductor, a well behaved insulator and a firm connection at both ends. Beta uses multi stranded 5N OCC copper from a Japanese source, cast continuously so that the copper crystals run long rather than being broken up along the conductor. The conductors are arranged symmetrically and the insulation deliberately is not, mixing a stiff high temperature PVC with a soft silicone. Connections are silver plated copper at 20 microns, with a ferrite choke against radio frequency interference. How it sounds and where it fits Keep the expectation sensible. Cable is the last few percent, and the effect varies with the system. Beta suits a first serious system, roughly €2,500 to €6,000, where moving on from packaged wire is worthwhile but a four figure cable would be out of balance with the electronics. A 2.5m pair is the standard choice for a conventional layout with the rack between the loudspeakers and around two to three metres between them. If you need more reach, take the 3m pair we also list. Key features Beta series loudspeaker cable, entry point to the Esprit ranges Multi stranded 5N OCC copper, Japanese sourced Symmetrical conductors with asymmetrical insulation Two dielectric materials, high temperature PVC and silicone 20 micron silver plated copper connections Ferrite choke fitted against radio frequency interference Banana or spade terminations, hand built in France Technical specifications Type: stereo loudspeaker cable, sold as a pair Length: 2.5m per side Conductor: multi stranded 5N OCC copper Geometry: symmetrical conductors, asymmetrical insulation Dielectric: high temperature PVC and silicone Connections: silver plated copper, 20 microns Termination: The cable is terminated with banana plugs. 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. Arrows on the sleeve show the intended direction, running towards the loudspeakers. Frequently asked questions Will 2.5m be enough? Measure the real route, along the floor and up behind each loudspeaker, then add slack. If it is marginal, take the 3m pair rather than pulling this one tight. Does the extra length in the 3m pair cost anything sonically? Not in any way you are likely to notice over half a metre at this gauge. Use the shortest length that fits comfortably, and keep both channels equal. Is it worth going straight to Celesta? If the rest of the system is above about €6,000, possibly. Celesta uses 6N copper and progressive shielding. Below that, Beta keeps the spend in proportion. Use the enquiry button on this page to check the terminations and condition of this pair.
