Entreq Primer Core ERS Corepoint XLR Interconnects - Pair

A new era in Entreq signal cables with their new and exciting Corepoint system.

Introducing Corepoint

A Corepoint unit is supplied with every Primer Core signal and power cables and comes in two configurations – Corepoint Signal and Corepoint Power. A Corepoint Signal unit is supplied with analogue and digital cables and two Corepoint Signal units are supplied with the speaker cables. A Corepoint Power unit, tuned for high current applications, is supplied with the power cables.

Each Corepoint unit connects to the ERS wire on its Primer Core cable via spade connector and acts as a stable reference point for signal ground – the zero against which the signal is measured – between the source and destination components the cable connects to. Corepoint contains the specific configuration of materials that stabilises the reference point. No less important, though, is the physical geometry of the ERS wire and its construction alongside the conductors themselves. Together, Corepoint, the ERS wire and the conductors hold the signal coherent across the length of the cable – fast, stable, and faithful to its source.

What does Corepoint offer?

Put simply when used the noisfloor lowers so much you hear more music and less noise (grain, harhness) and music ebbs and flows clearly with easier to follow tonal changes. 

Upgrade over time

The nice thing about Corepoint is that you can easily upgrade over time as the clever people at Entreq have developed a new range of Max Posts which offer various materials to enhance Corepoint further. The Max Posts are Max TI, Max PA, Max PL, Max Supreme which you add to your Corepoint box as and when you wish to.

Rest assured the Corepoint system offers a substantial upgrade as standard the Max Post are not a requirement just an opportunity to enhance further or not.

Primer Core Analogue XLR Signal Cable Description

The Primer Core Analogue Signal Cable is hand made in Sweden and built around the new Energy Reference System (ERS) and Corepoint technology. Designed to carry analogue signal between your components with absolute coherence, every Primer Core Analogue Signal Cable is supplied with a Corepoint Signal unit and is available with RCA or XLR terminations.

Coherence between every component

The Primer Core Analogue Signal Cable is the entry point to Entreq’s new cable architecture, succeeding their Primer Pro Analogue Signal Cable. It is designed around the same principle as Delphius – that a signal is shaped as much by the electromagnetic environment around the cable as by the conductor itself – and brings that approach to a wider range of systems.

At its core is the Energy Reference System (ERS), a separately shielded reference wire that works in concert with the Corepoint Signal unit supplied with every cable. Where a conventional drain wire carries induced noise away, ERS interacts with the electromagnetic field around the cable, with the Corepoint providing the stable reference point that allows it to do so. The result is analogue signal carried between your components cleanly and coherently, with much of the noise and interference that would otherwise compromise the waveform held at bay.

Hand built in Sweden

The Primer Core Analogue Signal Cable is constructed entirely by hand at Entreq's facility in Sweden. It uses copper conductors, a copper ERS wire and hook, cotton dielectric, and connectors customised to their exact specifications. The Corepoint Signal unit connects to the ERS wire via spade connector.

Configurations

Primer Core Analogue Signal is supplied with a Corepoint Signal unit and is available with either RCA or XLR terminations, both featuring custom connectors built to Entreq's specification. Available in standard lengths of 1.1m with custom lengths available which are selectible from the dropdown box when orderering.

Take your sound further with Max posts

Every Corepoint unit can be taken further with the addition of an Entreq Max post. The Max range – Max S, Max T, Max Ti, Max Pa, Max Pl and the range-topping Max Supreme – allows the performance of the cable to be extended further, incrementally, as your system and needs change. Your investment in Primer Core is not a fixed decision; it is the start of an architecture that grows with your system.
