Design & Build
Monet brings Crystal Cable’s Infinite Crystal Silver technology to the broadest range of connections in the Art Series. Both the signal and ground conductors use the company’s proprietary monocrystal silver, minimizing discontinuities within the conductor and preserving low-level musical information.
Kapton and PTFE provide stable, low-loss insulation, while application-specific shielding protects the signal from external interference. The transparent outer jacket reveals the cable’s internal architecture and allows its functional construction to become part of the design.
Each Monet cable incorporates an NFC tag for authentication and product registration through Crystal Cable’s dedicated application.
System Pairing
Monet offers the widest selection of connection types within the Art Series, allowing it to form a nearly complete cable loom for analogue, digital and network-based systems.
The analogue interconnect is available in RCA and balanced XLR configurations. Digital source components can be connected through USB, Ethernet, 75-ohm S/PDIF or 110-ohm AES/EBU, while matching power and loudspeaker cables complete the system.
The Monet network cable uses the 100BASE-TX standard and supports speeds up to 100 Mbps. Managed network-switch ports should therefore be configured for 100 Mbps or automatic negotiation.
