Brenda^TM Design Features.

( Applies to the Bare Wire Brenda^TM )

All Brenda^TMconnectors are manufactured  from HCOFC***  Copper, they are then electroplated with a minimum of 8 microns of Silver  and then electroplated with a minimum of 1.0 micron of Gold.

Insulation used to isolate the polarities within the pole assembly is Teflon®.  The Brenda^TM B3 and Brenda^TM B2 connectors use a locking cylinder  ( refer to Note 1 )  ( referred to as a ClawLock^TM ) to secure itself to the operational appliances’ chassis receptor.  The (bare wire) Brenda^TM  connectors will accommodate nearly all currently available interconnect wires without destroying their fine crystalline ( single crystalline ) structure with heat as happens at the time of soldering.   This allows the listener to totally benefit from the advances made in materials in the last 10 years.  The Brenda^TMinterconnect connector component is available in sets of 4 allowing the end-user to install whatever interconnect wire they wish to install.  The great advantage of the Brenda^TM connector is that even the cheapest interconnect cables, once inserted into the Brenda^TM connector, begin to outshine cables costing twenty and even one hundred times the per meter price. Enabling their owner to upgrade to the more expensive cables when the budget allows and obtain sublime performance from them not possible by any other means.

All ( bare wire ) Brenda's^TM are unconditionally stable for phase and impedance at all audio frequencies.

What this means, is that  audio imaging is unrivalled and the most stable possible, there is no smearing due to solder induced artefacts.  Standard electroplate for all Brenda's is a minimum of 8.0+ microns of Silver and 1.0+ microns of pure Gold.  The Signal pins are electroplated with 3.0+ microns of Gold.

 

The Brenda™ B2  and B3 connectors allow for the securing of an interconnect wire core up to 4mm in diameter ( 9/64" ) directly into the interconnect connector pole piece for both polarities without the use of solder.  There are no soldered pieces in the   Brenda™connector.

The B2 is not as  big a girl as her previous iteration!  To maximize the use of the Brenda™  in your audio appliances the B3 is most apt ( and economical ) for low profile audio appliances and the B2 for those audio appliances where the RCA chassis receptors are not spaced in more than two rows and at least 23mm centres. Where low profile audio appliances are being used ( such as most pre-amplifiers today ) the bare wire Brenda^TM  can be used in conjunction with the solderable Brenda^TM interconnectors. At the low profile appliance end ( the pre-amplifier for instance ) the solderable Brenda^TM RCA connectors can be used. At the Power amplifier end the interconnector can be terminated into bare wire Brenda^TM. The consequence is an unrivalled quality of reproduction.  When assigning Brenda connectors to your appliances measure the centres between sockets before deciding which model Brenda to use.


Many of the highend pre-amps such as the Audio Research and Sonic Frontiers and Sound Reference models have the RCA chassis receptors at distances greater than 23mm centres on the vertical. The current Brenda^TM B3 and B2 will easily fit these spacings. Where care should be taken is where the RCA chassis receptors are attached to a printed circuit board and 'poke' out of the audio appliance. In such instances it is advisable to give the Brenda^TM some support so as not to dislodge the receptors from their mount. Better still fit TomCats^TM  and all these problems will disappear. Where TomCats^TM are used then careful spacing of the TomCats^TM   will allow the end user to utilize B2's throughout. For an All B2 installation space   TomCats^TM   at  50mm centres vertically and 23mm horizontally. For an all B3 installation spacing  TomCats^TM   at 23mm+ centres both vertically and horizontally will allow ease of access.
