Echole

ECHOLE CONCEPT

The unique hallmark of Echole Cables is the use of our proprietary Silver, Gold and Palladium alloy. Echole is the first and only cable manufacturer to combine these metals in an exclusive alloy, refined after an intensive five-year program of research and development.

Echole Cables are arranged in six tiers – from the entry level OBSESSION through to the SIGNATURE and ORIUS right up to the OMNIA, LIMITED EDITION and our current flagship line, the INFINITY. Every cable in each tier is specifically designed to meet the uncompromising demands of dedicated high-end systems.

INFINITY is the flagship of Echole Cables. Meticulously designed and painstakingly hand-crafted, it represents the pinnacle of our range. INFINITY is the culmination of thousands of hours of research conducted by our team across many countries, dedicated to extending the boundaries of what has previously been thought possible in cable design. INFINITY achieves a rare life-like performance, beyond the realm of standard audiophile criteria.

Since 2008, Echole has won numerous awards including Best Sound of Show at C.E.S., Munich High-End, and the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF). Recently, Echole LIMITED EDITION was evaluated by Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound (The Absolute Sound – Issue #280) where the performance of Echole Limited Edition Cables in combination with Absolare electronics was described as ‘’characterized by a tremendous sense of body and texture, as though it were a living and breathing entity”.

Echole Cables have received the greatest number of Best of show awards in the history of high end audio:

Highly respected opinion leaders across 24 countries agree with this description, their collective testimony combined with widespread critical acclaim, confirms Echole’s reputation for excellence. The name Echole, being the ancient form of École (School), harks back to the art of listening that forms the foundation of all of our designs. All of Echole’s cables are designed and crafted according to the principles of naturalness and neutrality – the ultimate reference in the realm of ultra high-end audio cables.

ECHOLE DESIGN

Echole Cables are designed with the mission of attaining the absolute finest performance in every aspect of sound reproduction. Echole Cables are all hand-made by passionate, highly skilled artisans and critically refined to provide a deeply emotional connection to the music. Both our clients and the world’s reviewers agree – when a full loom of Echole Cables were in use, Best Sound was awarded more than two dozen times across the world’s most respected international high-end audio shows.

Echole Cables are all hand-made by passionate highly skilled artisans and critically tuned to provide a deeply emotional connection to the music.

When a full loom of Echole Cables were in use, Best Sound was awarded more than two dozen times across the world’s most respected international high-end audio shows.

The most notable of Echole Cables’ exclusive features are its unique signal path and resonance control characteristics. The unique signal path is exemplified by:

Carefully controlled, critically evaluated combination of three precious metals into a cost-no-object, custom-designed alloy from extremely high purity Silver, Gold and Palladium.
Unique hand-made, fully symmetrical construction.
Use of the highest quality terminations from our strategic partners Furutech and Oyaide in Japan – to preserve the signal integrity. These Furutech and Oyaide connectors/terminations are custom-plated exclusively for Echole.
The resonance control characteristics are embodied in special organic composites that are manually applied very carefully to the fully symmetrical alloy signal path, preserving the entire spectrum of harmonics that is key to a real-world expression.

INFINITY, LIMITED EDITION, OMNIA, ORIUS, SIGNATURE and OBSESSION all utilize Silver, Gold and Palladium alloys but their ratios differ within each tier. INFINITY has the highest level of Palladium and Gold, and the OBSESSION has the lowest.

The INFINITY-grade alloy is the thickest solid-core Silver, Gold and Palladium alloy we believe ever manufactured. Apart from the unprecedented cost of the alloys themselves, the precise process of extruding this solid core alloy is also unique. All Echole Cables can be considered the most expensively manufactured cables within their price range with the OMNIA,LIMITED EDITION AND INFINITY models being perhaps the most expensively built cables in the market today – developed from an unprecedented combination of sophisticated metallurgy and mechanical resonance control.

The purity of the signal path is defined by a meticulously crafted combination of three extremely pure, precious metals. Each of these elements contributes its own unique voice to the creation of the perfect alloy. Silver brings transparency, transient impact, decay, and harmonic resolution; Gold brings natural warmth and body and Palladium is the final touch, bringing texture and agility to the bass foundation and a rarely heard palpability to musical performance. The development of Echole’s proprietary extrusion of this perfect alloy into a single solid core structure, is just the beginning of the exclusive processes required to reach sonic perfection. With a controlled internal resonance approach through the application of Echole-specific composites, unprecedented levels of musical involvement are experienced while all audiophile parameters are perfectly satisfied. 

With such a purity and perfectly managed resonance, the speed is lifelike, the size of the instruments appears correct. The positioning of each instrument within any sized ensemble is exceptionally managed within the speaker’s imaging capabilities. All sounds arise in a compelling yet relaxed manner that naturally engages your senses – from the real world textures of the deepest bass to the thunderous crashing of cymbals, and their lingering decay, your mind is engaged at the deepest emotional level of musical performance. Echole does not present superficial sonic shifts. Through the unique design and production process we strive for the rendition of naturalness – as most of our clients refer, such a sonic purity is the starting reference for the audiophile.
