Effect Audio has introduced a remarkable addition to its Signature Series II lineup— the Ares S II x Cadmus II (AxC II)—a flagship cable specifically designed for in-ear monitors (IEMs). This innovative cable merges the distinct characteristics of the Ares S II and Cadmus II cables, creating a unified solution that combines the best features from both models. It brings together the powerful warmth and richness of the Ares S II with the clarity and transparency of the Cadmus II, making it particularly suitable for fast-paced music genres such as rock, EDM, hip-hop, and metal.

The AxC II boasts an advanced design that emphasizes superior audio signal conductivity. With an 8-core construction and 26AWG wire size, the cable employs high-purity UP-OCC copper conductors alongside silver-plated copper strands. The hybrid configuration is built upon a Litz structure, ensuring excellent efficiency and signal fidelity. The copper conductors enhance bass response and deliver lush mids, while the silver-plated elements refine the treble, injecting a sense of air and precision into the sound signature. This synergy between the materials results in an agile, dynamic presentation tailored for high-energy tracks.

Effect Audio continues its tradition of premium craftsmanship with the AxC II. The cable incorporates their signature UltraFlexi insulation for enhanced flexibility and durability, ensuring it withstands regular use while remaining ergonomically comfortable. A sleek handcrafted braided design not only adds aesthetic appeal but maximizes functional usability. The external designer Y-splitter features a luxurious forged carbon fiber construction, accented with copper and silver flakes, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.

Another standout feature is the ConX® modular connector system, enabling users to adapt the cable to different types of IEM connections. By default, the cable comes with 0.78mm 2-pin connectors, but it can accommodate alternatives such as MMCX or Pentaconn with separately purchased interchangeable connectors. This modularity ensures compatibility with a wide range of earphones, further adding to the cable's versatility.

Available now at a retail price of $269, the AxC II sets itself apart as a game-changer in Effect Audio's lineup, offering audiophiles an elegant blend of visual appeal, technical innovation, and sonic performance—all optimized to enhance the listening experience for demanding modern music genres.
