Kimber Kable Base Series 4VS Speaker Cable Review: The Sweet Spot of Audio Excellence

Kimber Kable Base Series 4VS Speaker Cable Review: The Sweet Spot of Audio Excellence

Design and Build Quality

The 4VS sports Kimber's signature 8-wire counter-opposed helix design, featuring a sophisticated Black/Grey LOW series induction aesthetic that's both functional and visually appealing. Each cable contains eight strands of 19.5 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC), combining to create a robust 13AWG per positive/negative leg.

Technical Excellence

The technical specifications are impressive:

  • DC Loop Resistance: 0.016 Ohm/meter
  • Parallel Capacitance: 127 pF/meter
  • Series Inductance: 0.25 uH/meter

These specs translate to exceptional signal transfer and minimal interference, which is exactly what you want in a high-performance speaker cable.

Sound Quality

The 4VS delivers a balanced, detailed soundstage that belies its price point. The VariStrand copper conductors and polyethylene dielectric work in harmony to ensure signal integrity and minimal loss. Bass response is tight and controlled, while the midrange exhibits excellent clarity and presence.

Installation and Practicality

Thanks to the nitrogen-assisted hand-soldered termination and pre-installed banana plugs, setup is straightforward. The cable's relatively thin diameter (despite its robust conductor count) makes it easy to route and manage in any system setup.
