TCI - Viper - Mono (subwoofer) cable

TCI Viper – Mono Subwoofer Cable

Precision low-frequency control for hi-fi and home cinema. The TCI Viper Mono subwoofer cable is a high-performance interconnect designed specifically for subwoofer and mono LFE runs. Its balanced twisted-pair architecture, aerospace-grade PC-OFC alloy conductors and twin shielding deliver clean, dynamic bass and excellent noise rejection in demanding stereo and AV systems.

• Balanced twisted-pair design optimised for subwoofer and mono runs
• Locking gold-plated split-pin RCA for secure, low-resistance contact
• Aerospace-grade PC-OFC copper alloy conductors with twin screens
• Lead-free high-purity silver solder, hand-made and finished in the UK

Product Overview

The TCI Viper Mono is based on TCI’s Viper interconnect architecture, adapted as a dedicated mono cable for subwoofers and single-channel links. A balanced twisted-pair of aerospace-grade PC-OFC alloy conductors is used for the signal path, giving excellent rejection of electromagnetic and RF noise. This is further enhanced by a twin-screen construction combining foil and braided shielding to protect low-level signals over longer runs.

High-quality locking gold-plated split-pin RCA connectors ensure a tight, stable connection to subwoofer and amplifier LFE or pre-out sockets. Lead-free, high-purity silver solder is used throughout the terminations to maintain signal integrity and long-term reliability.

Performance Experience

In a well-matched system, the TCI Viper Mono delivers a controlled, articulate and extended low-frequency response. By minimising interference and preserving signal integrity, it helps subwoofers integrate more cleanly with main speakers, improving timing, punch and definition.

Bass notes gain clarity and texture, with less smearing or overhang, making it easier to distinguish pitch and nuance. In home cinema use, LFE effects sound tighter and more impactful, while in music systems the subwoofer contributes depth and weight without blurring midrange detail.

Recommended System Use

The TCI Viper Mono is ideal wherever a high-quality single-channel RCA connection is needed:

• Subwoofer connection from AV receiver, processor or stereo preamp
• Long LFE runs where noise rejection is critical
• Mono connections to active speakers or mono power amplifiers (where RCA is required)

Thanks to its robust shielding and quality terminations, it is particularly well suited to longer cable lengths in rooms where power cables, mains blocks and other electronics are in close proximity.

Ideal Applications

• High-performance home cinema systems with dedicated subwoofers
• Hi-fi systems using a sub to extend low-frequency response
• Installations where cables must run close to mains wiring or other sources of interference
• Upgrading basic subwoofer leads for better bass control and detail
