Canare

Canare makes audio and video cabling in Japan. Its cables are represented both in a studio-monitor installation and in a restored vintage-speaker system.

Design & approach

Canare develops cable, connectors, patching and transmission equipment for audio and video. Its contribution to a venue is often the infrastructure between visible components. That should be credited precisely as wiring or connectivity, without attributing the design of the loudspeakers or electronics to the cable supplier.

Berlin / Germany

Rhinoçéros ↗

Equipment in use

Canare cables connect the vintage Altec loudspeakers to amplification. The record distinguishes them from the Belden wiring used inside the cabinets.

  • Speaker wiring: Belden internal wiring; Canare amplifier cables (Belden / Canare)

Inside the system

Rhinoceros pairs an Altec A7-based system with Thöress amplification and a Micro-Seiki analogue source. The listed Jagusch crossover and JBL supertweeter are important: this is a configured system, not simply an untouched example of a vintage Altec cabinet.

Bar Ton ↗

Equipment in use

Bar Ton lists Canare in its room / acoustics setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.

  • Cabling: Shielded copper cables

Inside the system

Bar Ton separates the large Genelec room monitors from individual listening booths and their source equipment. The venue’s account of operating the monitors below capacity is consistent with keeping headroom for musical peaks instead of using their maximum output continuously.
