Singapore – EFFECT AUDIO’s Signature Series II will launch on 26th September 2024, 8pm SGT.
Ares, Cadmus, Eros. Stories of Greek heroes, passed down orally from generation to generation. Each generation has taken their liberties with the story, altering it in one way or another to fit the needs and contexts of their generation. Each alteration holds memories of the past. Each alteration captures in it goals and dreams for the future.
Evolution of Classics - From Ares to Ares S II
With each generation, we don't just preserve legends—we elevate them. From the inception of Ares to the highly popular Ares II, the evolution of Ares S and now the Ares S II, our commitment to pushing boundaries has never wavered. Better ergonomics, advanced materials, and pioneering designs—these are the hallmarks of our journey. And now, the next chapter begins.
Unlock the Legends: Begin Your Audiophile Journey
You've also witnessed the rise of Cadmus, the swift mortal who competes among gods with its unique, fast, and clear sonic performance. But these tales are just the beginning. The stories continue to unfold, growing brighter and bolder with each chapter.
This September 2024, our legends will face their greatest challenge yet—a quest that will push each hero to new heights. Along this path, revelations will emerge, guiding their journey as they seek to redefine what's possible.
CODE X Signature
As the prowess of our CODE Series meets the portability of our Signature Series, we are proud to introduce our most significant upgrade to date: Signature Series II. Get ready for a new era in entry-level excellence—where the past informs the future, and legends are reborn.
Signature Series II Differentiating Factor
1) 15 Years of artisanal craftsmanship, preserved and passed along through the years | 8 wires only
For 15 years, EFFECT AUDIO has been dedicated to the art of handcrafting cables. Each one is woven by skilled hands because it’s the only way to achieve the quality we believe you deserve. Hand weaving takes time, often 50 times longer than machines, but we firmly believe that this level of dedication is what our customers deserve.
When it comes to upgrade cables, handwoven designs provide a distinct advantage. They are softer, more comfortable, and free from the harsh creases often found in machine-made cables—creases that can compromise the material's structure and disrupt audio signals. Through meticulous handcrafting, each strand is made flawlessly smooth, preserving the purity of your music and ensuring the highest quality listening experience.
Signature Series II will feature 8 wires for optimized conductivity and maximum sonic potential.
2) Signature Series II is built on our foundation of 8000pcs of Signature Series I cables
The Signature Series II is a testament to the success of our original Signature Series, with over 8,000 cables sold, making it our bestselling series. This legacy has paved the way for the creation of the Signature Series II, which builds upon the strengths of its predecessor while introducing new advancements in audio technology and craftsmanship, delivering an even more refined and powerful listening experience. Each cable reflects our commitment to quality and the relentless pursuit of perfection that has always driven EFFECT AUDIO.
3) Pair with multiple IEMs with our ConX
Interchangeable Connectors
Our patent ConX technology allows you to effortlessly click the top-end connector of your choice into your cable, providing maximum versatility for all your favorite IEMs. With ConX, you no longer need to decide which IEMs to pair with a specific cable—now, you can have it all.
Introducing Signature Series II
As our heroes strive for evolution, their paths converge in a challenging landscape, each focused on their unique quest and the strengths they’ve been given.
The Signature Series II brings significant sonic and ergonomic enhancements, building directly on the feedback and experiences of our valued customers. We listened closely to what you loved about the original Signature Series and focused on delivering those same qualities with key upgrades, all while maintaining outstanding price to value ratio. By creating the Signature Series II, we aim to honor the trust the industry has placed in us and give the community an even better listening experience that you’ll be excited to explore.
Key Upgrade #1 - Sonic Improvements
Signature Series II elevates our entry-level cables with the introduction of Solid Core Technology from our acclaimed CODE Series. Unlike traditional multi-stranded designs, solid core cables use a single, continuous conductor, eliminating gaps that can cause resistance and signal loss, especially at higher frequencies.
This design ensures cleaner, more consistent signal flow, reducing vibrations and resisting corrosion for a more stable and reliable audio performance. Each of the three cables in the Signature Series II incorporates a unique blend of geometries, including our newest solid core innovation, to deliver a sound that’s smoother, richer, and more detailed. Expect deeper, more powerful lows, fuller and warmer mids, and highs that are crystal clear and precise.
With the 2nd generation Signature Series, we’re pushing the boundaries of entry-level cables, offering an experience that combines technical excellence with emotional impact.
Key Upgrade #2 - Ergonomic Improvements
The Signature Series II has undergone significant ergonomic improvements, particularly in its aesthetic design and flexibility. Aesthetically, we have refined the Y-Split, reducing its volume by 20%, resulting in a sleeker and more sophisticated look while shaving off excess weight. The Signature Series II also offers enhanced ergonomics and portability compared to generation 1, making it ideal for both home and on-the-go listening. Designed for flexibility and ease, it ensures a comfortable, effortless listening experience, allowing you to enjoy your music wherever you are.
Compatibility-First Approach
In creating our Signature Series II cables, we conducted extensive testing with a wide range of renowned IEMs across various price brackets to ensure optimal synergy. Our goal is to provide audiophiles with the best possible pairing experience, regardless of the IEM they own.
We’ve tested our prototype cables with a diverse selection of IEMs, including the Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk, Dunu x Gizaudio DaVinci, Hisenior Mega5est, Sennheiser IE600, Empire Ears Triton, among others. These three Signature Series II cables have been meticulously crafted to cover a broad spectrum of audio enhancements, ensuring that no matter which IEM you use, you’ll find a perfect match within the Signature Series II. Our cables are designed to elevate any IEM on the market, making sure your listening experience is always enhanced. This list is by no means exhaustive, as our cables are engineered to elevate the performance of a wide spectrum of IEMs, from popular choices to high-end favorites. Our commitment is to ensure that whatever your preference, our Signature Series II cables will bring out the best in your music.
Design Concept: Aesthetic Improvements from the current Signature Series
The Y-split in our Signature Series has always been a subject of much thought. As the Signature Series evolves, so too does its visual language, culminating in this latest edition's Y-split.
While the original Y-split was celebrated for its intricate combination of multi-sided polished and brushed aluminum with the raw beauty of forged carbon fiber, the Signature Series II Y-split takes this concept to new heights. The Y-split has been reimagined with a sleeker and modern aesthetic, while it still features the iconic forged carbon fiber, the new multi-angled design introduces a meticulously sculpted form inspired by the sturdy wings of a pathfinder who has grown more robust and refined, ready to explore and conquer new sonic landscapes.
The Y-split in the Signature Series II showcases unique variations of forged carbon fiber, each tailored to reflect the character of its respective model. The Ares S II features carbon fiber inlaid with warm copper speckles, the Cadmus II presents a refined aesthetic with silver speckles, while the Eros S II combines both copper and silver speckles, creating a harmonious blend that captures the essence of duality and balance. These distinct variations not only elevate the visual appeal but also embody the individuality and meticulous craftsmanship of the Signature Series II, making each Y-split a unique statement of style and technology.
Ares S II
#UnlockingPOWER - No longer driven by mere rage, Ares now commands with unmatched power and strategic intellect. His razor-sharp perceptions guide every move, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Introducing Solid Core technology for the first time in this series, Ares S II enhances signal integrity and conductivity, delivering noticeable improvements in clarity and detail. Paired with our proprietary Dual Variant QuantumCopper™ design, blending two distinct types of copper, it delivers richer sub-lows, a stronger bass kick, and thick, alluring vocals. Coupled with improved ergonomics, Ares S II surpasses its predecessor in both performance and comfort.
Radiating dominance like Ares on the battlefield, the Ares S II commands attention. Bow before its POWER and surrender to its irresistible gravitas.
Introducing Dual Variant QuantumCopper™
Through meticulous development, EFFECT AUDIO's latest Dual Variant QuantumCopper™ technology offers a significant advancement in cable design. We combine two distinct types of high-purity copper: one with a solid core that delivers a robust, full-bodied sound with deep bass, and another with a double-layer multi-bundle design for exceptional clarity and detail. By harnessing principles inspired by quantum physics, this technology leverages the immense potential of atomic-level variations to enhance audio performance. This precise optimization creates a dual-flow system that results in a balanced and dynamic sound profile. The cable delivers powerful audio while preserving intricate details and vocal nuances, providing a refined and detailed listening experience that meets the demands of discerning audiophiles.

(just to differentiate, I love the purple)
I would recommend the Cadmus II. MEXT is slightly meatier on the lower end, Cadmus II's Silver-plated Copper material would be a great option to improve on overall clarity and note speed.
