Welcome

I am one of the rare producers of high-end audio equipment who is also active in organising concerts. Every summer since 2007 I have organised a ten-day classical music festival with a friend. Being this close to live music has resulted in me having a particularly critical ear when I hear it played back.

Whilst “amplified” music is fairly easy to reproduce with a greater margin for error, non-amplified classical music is a more delicate proposition. Here the harmonics, the timbre, the dynamics are extremely important. When I listen to Bach’s suites, I like to hear the depth and timbre of the cello and viscerally experience the sensuality of its tone. Listening to a recording of a piano recital, I like to have the impression of the instrument right in front of me. And when I listen to a chamber music ensemble, I want to make out the harmonics and have a tangible feel for each instrument as if it were a living thing. I want to experience a symphony orchestra in its full magnificence.

It is essential that classic music is reproduced faithfully; this allows many hours of listening without fatigue. Listening both stimulates and relaxes you and just as at a live concert, it fills you with a positive energy. It is possible to recreate this experience of “the happy moment” at home and I have been spending a large part of my time trying to do so.

Along with some professional audio colleagues, friends of mine who are highly experienced in electrical engineering and material science, we developed original solutions using litz wires, a type of conductor that promised to deliver better performance than traditional conductors. We have also introduced an architectural design that optimizes inductance effects, preventing signal distortion by producing a coherent and linear audio signal.

Cables are a truly vital link in a hi-fi system; they are the platform on which dazzling sound reproduction is built. BRANDT-AUDIO produce unique cables that will make you addicted to music.

BRANDT-AUDIO cables are unshielded, created and handcrafted in Switzerland. Each cable, constructed to a special design, requires hours of meticulous work. It is carefully made with very high-quality materials that are produced specially for BRANDT-AUDIO. Particular attention is paid to insulating materials, natural silk and nylon.
