About the Prism 22
The TARA Labs Prism 22 is a solid-core coaxial RCA interconnect introduced around 1994. It uses a single 1.15 mm-diameter 6N-OFC copper signal conductor, insulated with HDPE and surrounded by a braided copper shield that serves as the return conductor. The cable is associated with clear, open presentation, firm bass definition, expressive midrange and treble, and precise imaging. Prism 22 interconnects were made in the USA and are terminated with RCA connectors.
