The Ricable Invictus Speaker Reference MKII is the Italian high-end cable manufacturer’s flagship loudspeaker cable. It is designed as an uncompromised, reference-grade component aimed at bringing maximum transparency, dynamics, and signal purity to top-tier audiophile systems. Key Features & Engineering MARC 7N Copper: Uses Ricable’s ultra-pure Monocrystalline Annealed Copper to eliminate grain boundaries, reducing signal resistance and micro-distortions. RNR Technology: Features external cylindrical blocks containing a germanium-based semiconductor compound designed to neutralize electrical noise and stray EMI/RFI interference. MKII Mechanical Redesign: The outer diameter remains thick at 22 mm, but the MKII replaces the internal geometry and fiber dampening to make the overall cable significantly more supple and flexible than the original MK1. This relieves stress on amplifier and speaker binding posts. Expanding Pin Connectors: The banana plug terminations feature an expanding center pin mechanism. Rotating the connector housing expands the banana tip inside the binding post for maximum contact surface area and a lock-tight mechanical connection. Sound Profile & Performance Extremely Low Noise Floor: The combination of R-TEC technopolymers and semiconductor shielding provides exceptional pitch-black background silence, making subtle micro-details pop out. Detailed & Dynamic: The MKII revision delivers a crisp, extended top end and fast, tight bass response. It is energetic and revealing without dipping into artificial brightness or harshness. Expansive Soundstage: Reviewers consistently highlight a three-dimensional soundstage with precise instrument separation, allowing acoustic decay and venue reverberations to breathe naturally.
