Built using \u003ca href=\"\/products\/synergistic-research-foundation-sx-speaker-cable\"\u003eFoundation SX speaker cable\u003c\/a\u003e geometry, they carry the full spectrum of frequency and phase information through a single cable rather than segregating high and low frequencies into separate paths, so your amplifier sees a consistent load from top to bottom. This delivers more accurate soundstaging, pace, and high-frequency extension than traditional shotgun bi-wire or generic jumper\/binding-strap connections. Sold as a set of 4, available with Gold Banana, Gold Spade, or Silver Spade connectors. As an authorized Synergistic Research dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you determine whether IFT Jumpers or a fully bi-wired cable pair is the right fit for your speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated Frequency Termination (IFT) design, avoids the phase distortion inherent to split-frequency bi-wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt on Foundation SX speaker cable geometry for tonal consistency with a matching Foundation SX speaker cable run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a set of 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable with Gold Banana, Gold Spade, or Silver Spade connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps full-spectrum phase information intact, rather than dividing it across separate high\/low-frequency paths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigher-quality alternative to generic jumper cables or bi-wire binding straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConnector Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold Banana\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold Spade\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilver Spade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy IFT Instead of Standard Bi-Wiring?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional bi-wiring feeds a speaker's high-pass and low-pass filters with different input signals, since high and low frequencies travel through separate cable runs that see different loads. This creates phase error between the drivers, which typically shows up as a loss of soundstage precision and recordings that start to sound alike. \"Shotgun\" bi-wiring, using two parallel speaker cables terminated to a common set of connectors, doubles cost without solving this problem, since the amplifier still sees mismatched loads across frequencies. Generic jumper cables and binding straps compound the issue further, since they're rarely tuned to the frequency range they carry and add extra connector hardware that degrades the signal. IFT Jumpers avoid all of this by keeping the full frequency and phase spectrum in one continuous cable geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich connector option should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGold Banana and Gold Spade suit most amplifiers and speaker terminals with gold-plated binding posts; Silver Spade is available for systems using Synergistic Research's silver-connector cable loom.
