- the invention further relates to the use of a cable for the transmission of sound signals, the cable comprising: at least one conductor, at least one shield which shields the at least one conductor, at least one insulated ground connection, a first connection piece at a first end of the cable to Connecting the cable to a first device and a second connector at a second end of the cable for connecting the cable to a second device.
- u. a. analog audio signals transmitted by means of electrical signals are u. a.
- Low-frequency (LF) cables are used, for example, to connect playback devices ("sound sources") and amplifiers, as well as sound-influencing devices, and speaker cables that connect, for example, amplifiers to loudspeakers.
- Other cables with electrical conductors are used - as an alternative to fiber optics - for the transmission of digital audio signals.
- the cables used for the transmission of audio signals, in particular of analog audio signals, are of great importance for the sound quality. Using cables with an improper structure or too small cross section will seriously affect the sound quality.
- shielded cables are used for the transmission of analog audio signals, which comprise a plurality of insulated strands which are surrounded by a shield.
- the strands are each conductively connected to contacts of both connecting pieces (eg plugs or sockets).
- the shield is conductively connected to the ground contact of at least one of the connecting pieces.
- the object of the invention is to provide cables for the transmission of audio signals, in particular of analog audio signals, which have a comparatively simple structure and enable a good sound quality.
- the solution of the problem is defined by the features of claim 1.
- at least one of the conductors is connected neither to the first connecting piece nor to the second connecting piece in a conductive manner. This means that even if the cable is completely connected, this at least one conductor is not connected either to the first device connected to the cable or to the second device connected to the cable (dummy conductor).
- connection is understood in the context of the present embodiments in each case the entirety of the connector, which has a cable at one of its ends. It may be a single or multi-pole plug or a single or multi-pole socket but also multiple plugs or sockets or other elements that allow the conductor of the cable to contact the outside from the outside.
- the cable may have differently connected and / or formed connecting pieces at its two ends. In the simplest case, the connecting pieces can also be simply formed by bare wire or stranded ends or wire or stranded ends which are tinned or provided with another metal layer.
- the invention proposes a novel circuit structure.
- the cable comprises at least three conductors, wherein at least two of the conductors are not conductively connected to the first connection piece or conductively connected to the second connection piece. It has been found that the presence of several unconnected conductors can lead to a further improvement of the transmission quality.
- the cable has at least four conductors, wherein at least two of the at least four conductors provide two connections between the first connector and the second connector (eg, "plus” and "minus” in an asymmetrical connection). In addition, at least two further of the at least four conductors are neither conductively connected to the first connection piece nor conductively connected to the second connection piece.
- the at least four conductors are now arranged without crossover in the cable and the at least two connection-creating conductors are separated from each other by at least one of the unconnected conductors.
- Cross free means that the relative arrangement of the at least four conductors in the cable cross section does not change over the entire cable length. So it is a helical rotation of the conductor package possible, but not a change in the relative arrangement, d. H. z. B. the order of the ladder in a given direction of rotation. It has been found that the arrangement of the unconnected conductors between the connected conductors benefits the transmission quality.
- the at least two conductors are insulated individually. This ensures that the conductors in the cable are completely isolated from each other. If required, in this case, connections can be present between several of the at least two conductors in the region of one or both connection pieces or on the device side. Instead of separate insulation of the at least two conductors, the conductors may also be embedded, for example, in an insulating medium, or one of the conductors is completely insulated, while the other is guided without isolation adjacent to the insulated conductor.
- the cable is a cable for symmetrical signal transmission.
- the symmetrical transmission of sound signals z.
- a cable which can be used according to the invention for the symmetrical signal transmission now comprises at least two signal conductors, at least one ground conductor and at least one conductor, which is connected neither conductively to the first connection piece nor conductively to the second connection piece.
- the two signal conductors carry the signal and a reference signal of opposite polarity.
- a cable which can be used according to the invention for symmetrical signal transmission preferably comprises at least two signal conductors, at least one ground conductor and at least three conductors which are neither conductively connected to the first connection piece nor conductively connected to the second connection piece.
- the two signal conductors transport the signal and a reference signal of opposite polarity.
- the signal conductors, the ground conductor and the three unconnected conductors are all twisted together, d. H. stranded together.
- all conductors are advantageously arranged without crossover in the cable, and the at least two signal conductors and the ground conductor are separated from each other by at least one of the unconnected conductors.
- the cable comprises a core of non-conductive material and conductors contacting this core.
- the core allows a defined arrangement of the conductors surrounding it and ensures that conductors that are not adjacent to the circumference and separated only by the intervening insulation maintain a certain minimum distance.
- the core may be made of plastic, for. As PVC, PU or PE, or even made of natural fibers (eg., Wool or silk).
- the core can also be formed by a conductive material, in particular by a blind conductor, so a conductor which is conductively connected even when fully connected cable with neither the first device connected to the cable, nor with the second device connected to the cable.
- the cable comprises a shield.
- the shielding shields at least two conductors in the cable according to the invention. These are, for example, at least one dummy conductor and at least one signal conductor.
- the shield is conductively connected at least to the first connector or to the second connector.
- the shield is on the source side, d. H. in the direction of the sound source, conductively connected to the corresponding connector, but not with the remote from the source connector.
- the shield is conductively connected to neither the first nor the second connector.
- At least the first connection piece or the second connection piece comprises a plug which is pressed onto at least one of the conductors. It has been found that with a pressed-on connector, better results can be achieved with regard to the transmission quality than with a soldered connector, because direct contact between conductor and connector is created.
- the plug is made of copper and gold plated, silver plated or rhodium plated. Alternatively, the plug is made of solid silver or gold.
- the conductors can also be connected to the corresponding contacts of the first and of the second connection piece, for example, by means of a solder connection.
- at least one of the conductors is formed by an insulated copper strand.
- all conductors are formed by insulated copper strands. Due to the skin effect, the use of strands to transfer alternating signals results in a higher effective conducting cross-section than in the use of wires of the same overall cross-section.
- Strands can also be used to make flexible and durable cables. Transmission quality can be optimized by using high-quality oxygen-free copper (OFC). However, contrary to prevailing opinion, this is not mandatory. Even when using commercially available copper, as it is z. B. for cables to conduct electricity is used in the household network, resulting in the inventive use already very good transmission values.
- OFC oxygen-free copper
- the ladder other materials such. As silver can be used.
- the blind conductor d. H.
- a first of the at least two conductors as a wire and a second of the at least two conductors is designed as a strand.
- conductors are used, which are provided directly with an insulation. They are easy to process (strand) and ensure that no short circuits occur.
- the conductors are embedded, for example, in a common insulation medium or spatially separated from each other by special spacers.
- the conductor which is neither conductively connected to the first connection piece nor conductively connected to the second connection piece is interrupted at at least one location along its length. It has been shown that this - depending on the application - a further improvement of the transmission quality can be achieved.
- the interruption does not have to be at the same point in the cable.
- the cable comprises a first sub-cable and a second sub-cable, both of which are received by a common enclosure.
- the first sub-cable and the second sub-cable each comprise at least two conductors, wherein at least one of the two conductors is not conductively connected to the first connector nor conductively connected to the second connector.
- Each sub-cable thus includes at least one blind conductor.
- the first sub-cable and the second sub-cable each have their own shielding, which shields the at least two conductors of the respective sub-cable. The mutual influence of the two sub-cables is thereby minimized.
- first sub-cable and the second sub-cable are twisted together. This results in particular improved mechanical properties of the constructed of two sub-cable cable.
- the two sub-cables are in particular so connected to the first and the second connector that a first polarity (eg the actual audio signal) exclusively through the first sub-cable and a second polarity (eg the ground) exclusively through the second sub-cable be guided.
- a first polarity eg the actual audio signal
- a second polarity eg the ground
- a cable which comprises the following: a) at least one conductor; b) at least one shield which shields the at least one conductor;
- the shield is conductively connected at most with one of the two connecting pieces; and g) the ground connection is guided outside the shield.
- the ground connection thus does not take place via the shielding of the shielded cables, but via the ground connection running outside the shielding.
- This configuration is particularly suitable for LF device cables.
- the shield When connecting a signal source to an amplifier, the shield is preferably connected to the signal source but not to the amplifier. It has been shown that the transmission quality for audio signals can be significantly increased even by these measures.
- the ground connection is guided in an insulation of the cable.
- the cable appears as a unit, but in functional terms, it is actually two cables, namely the shielded signal cable and the parallel running ground cable, which runs outside the shielding of the signal cable.
- the common insulation has the additional task to guide the two cables at a certain distance and to simplify handling.
- ground connection is a completely separate cable, which is performed at its ends together with the signal cable (which includes the at least one conductor) in the corresponding fittings.
- an adapter cable can be used.
- This comprises a first intermediate piece, which can be connected to a first device and to which a first connection piece of a cable can be connected; a second intermediate piece, which can be connected to a second device and to which a second connecting piece of the cable can be connected; - An isolated ground connection, which connects a ground contact of the first intermediate piece with a ground contact of the second intermediate piece; wherein at least one of the intermediate pieces is designed such that it does not create a ground connection between the corresponding device and the cable even when it is inserted cable and plugged in spacer.

- the intermediate piece with an interrupted earth connection is then inserted with advantage on signal remote from the device.
- a conventional (and possibly already existing), in particular shielded, cable can be used, which continues to serve as a signal conductor.
