Signal MKIII

$399.00

We are proud to present our brand-new Signal MKIII which may surprise many in every aspect. To elevate the capability of capturing details, a combination of two different formulas of silver alloy intervals is employed, visually identifiable as brighter silver and charcoal black cores. Dealing with richly layered audio sources, the Signal MKIII demonstrates exceptional balance, enhancing separation by 30% compared to its predecessor without sacrificing details. This allows listeners to comfortably shift attention from one track to another. The midrange is rich, and the high frequencies smoothly extend, preventing the occurrence of instrument blending. At the central axis lies a pure copper low-frequency enhancement core, ensuring not only balanced separation but also powerful assurance in the low frequencies. The Signal MKIII presents a distinctly contoured and optimized profile, offering a sharp auditory experience within the realm of Beat Audio style.

 

Here's the description of Signal MKII:

The Signal MKII seems like a dull grey cable, but we put a lot of our effort into this new generation of Signal in terms of all aspects. The original Signal was one of our first cables that uses the alloy design by smelting copper and silver together instead of using silver-plated copper, which was a very common design. The Signal MKII replaces the original formula with silver and copper of higher purity and then pulls the alloy into ultra-thin threads using state-of-the-art technology to greatly improve its acoustic performance and suppleness. The Signal MKII has now become one of the softness cables that we have ever made, and we doubt we can make it even softer without sacrificing the number of threads in the cable.

With the implementation of higher purity material, sound stage, separation, details, and clarity have been greatly improved. The listening experience is now much more dynamic than before. Each note feels more vivid while the background remains dark and clear, which is even more obvious when listening to the more complex arrangements in the music, for example, grand orchestral tracks. Bass-wise, the second generation allows heavier punches with better texture while maintaining the speed of bass from the original Signal. The new Signal MKII also has better treble extension thanks to the new alloy.

Some may wonder why the MKII is grey. The original Signal actually had three colors, green, orange, and purple. For the sake of standardization, we added a black sheath over the colorful cores to hide its playful personality, which makes customers think Signal is just a boring black cable. We wanted to upgrade the Signal in terms of design as well, and we felt grey is a color of a higher class than the usual black. At the same time, grey is still a monochrome color that can be easily matched with any earphone without too much contrast.

4-wire or 8-wire?

The 4-wire option has the advantages of being more economical and lighter in weight.

The 8-wire option has fuller sound, larger soundstage and punchier bass while still feels amazingly soft and easy to use.

Ear Guides

All of our IEM cables have pre-bent earguides by default. There are no wires inside as the ear guide is shaped by ourheat shrink sleeve to eliminate the possibility of oxidation of the metallic memory wires. If you do not want any ear guide, please contact us.

Length

The default length of our IEM cables is about 1.2 meters, while headphone cables are around 1.5 meters. If other lengths are needed, please contact us for alternative arrangements.

Plug and Connectors

The options listed in the drop-down menu are only some of the most common ones. If you have something that are not listed in the options, we probably have it as well.

You can see more information about options here.

If you have any questions or requests, don't hesitate to contact us.

Review of Signal

This cable is absolutely worth its price! The plug is of the size that seats nicely into my iphone case. The cable, while being the softest and lightest of all that I've tried, is definitely nothing wimpy. The sockets feel substantial, true quality of pure handmade cable!

Review of Signal

Signal conductors are made from high purity silver with adding mixture of rare metals to achieve best performance to conduct signal from your player in to your earphones. SIGNAL is four braided cable in black plastic sleeve. Cable is very soft, flexible with no any inclination to tangle at all. Both termination are custom made under BA brand and they are made perfectly without any visible flows. Generally is quality of processing one of highest I ever seen. Another good news is that cable not suffer from noise, collected by its sleeve. BA are not using memory wire, but ear guide is pre-shaped and is stiffened by another plastic transparent sleeve. In fact, this is way more comfortable and fit is very safe. Y split is simple, it is only small cylinder with brand logo
Signal is surely a high quality cable which does provide decent sound improvement. It has very open sound, with wide sound stage and very decent resolution. Signal adds to all of that impact on low end and sparkle on top end, overall sound is richer and vivid compare to many stock cables. Signal fulfilled my expectation and give to my CA Ei.3 more liveliness and airiness and made the bass more cultivated and precise.

Review of Signal

I have tried most cable companies and will not name them all. I feel once you use good material, cables do not make much of a difference sound wise. So what is important is build quality, aesthetics, and ergonomics. And in these respects, Best Audio cables are the best bar none. No one comes close, and all other cables appear to be DIY-like in comparison. The signal cable seems completely transparent sound wise, is solid and flexible and has absolutely gorgeous finish. I will be getting most or all my cables here from now on.

Review of Signal

The cable sounds quite clear, and is free of any strange colorations in the sound. It compares well with other high-end cables from other manufacturers. The sleeved version of Signal suffers from only minor touch noise.

Review of Signal

With many different companies out there making their version of IEM cables its tough to know which to go with. Im using the Unique Melody Merlins and I have tried out several well-known cables and have yet to find one that even compares to what you will get with your Beat Audio cable.

Sound:
Sound is different from person to person in what they like but I will say that the most important aspects that someone is looking for its clarity and crispness. The Signal is very well balanced compared to many other cables Ive ran across or tested. I guarantee if youre in the market for a good sounding cable the Signal wont disappoint you. The soft feel of the cable (sleeveless version) helps minimize cable noise when moving around. I run and workout with mine and have no issue.

Aesthetics:
Although this wont have any effect on how the cable functions, I find this to be a major factor for me when deciding what cable to get. As I have mentioned I have used other well-known companies and the way their cables are built look very cheap and homemade. Beat Audio makes a very stylish looking cable no matter what color that will make your IEMs stand out giving them a very elegant look. The connectors used make the cable look very nice and clean. The metal caps give it just that extra edge that Im always looking for in a product.

Build Quality:
Theres only so much I can say without you just trying these cables out for yourself, but this is by far the best built cable Ive seen available to this day. If you are to run into any trouble Stephen has given me some of the best customer servers I have ever run across. Ive worked with him for the past few years now and at this point I wont be trying out other cables from anyone else. I had order one (Very popular company which I wont name) for my UM Merlins and they sent me a cable where the sockets wouldnt seat deep enough in my IEM sockets. After sending it back for them to fix they had taken a knife to the socket plug stripping away some of the plastic so it would wedge down into the IEM. Not only did it look hideous but it was damaging my IEM sockets. This was their fix to keep my IEMs from falling off the cable. Not sure how others use their IEMs but I do pull them out and hang them from my ears when Im talking cause as you know you wont hear anyone with them in. I need the socket to hold the IEM so it wont fall and break. Beats Audio cable has always plugged right in and stayed in nice and snug. Maybe not a big deal to many but it just shows a bit more of the quality and care some people put into a cable that cost you a few bills.

Thanks again Stephen for all the great service!
