The Forte encompasses the design priorities of Evidence Audio which are to eliminate the negative effects of strand interaction, skin effect, inferior material qualities and geometry. It is crafted and sounds quite like the Lyric, however by putting a coating on the strands instead of using single solid IGL conductors, the Forte is flexible and rugged making it ideal for stage use.

The reference cable for over a decade, for instruments or line-level signal transfer. As used by David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and John Mayer to name but a few.

IGL stands for Increased Grain Linearity. It is a copper that has been refined to a very high degree of purity, and in a manner that causes the copper grains to be very long and line up with parallel boundaries. Longer grains in the copper result in fewer grains per foot. Grains aren’t necessarily a bad thing It is what copper is made of. However, it is the space between the grains where impurities collect. The IGL refining process reduces the number of grains, and makes sure that the grains are aligned in a way that doesn’t allow for many impurities to collect. IGL Copper is not only very pure; it is pure in a way that results in better sound. When you listen and compare IGL copper to copper that in not refined the same way, you can hear an unnatural “bite” and grit in the higher frequencies.

IGL-ECS conductors:
Minimize the effects of strand interaction, the largest source of distortion in cables, but retain flexibility of a common stranded cable

High-Purity Copper:
Open and extended midrange and highs without etching or glare

Semi-Balanced Geometry:
Shield blocks noise instead of carrying your signal to preserve dynamics and dimensionality

Organic Insulation:
Cotton wraps the conductors with a lower dielectric constant than polymers to preserve resolution and prevent smearing

18 AWG conductors:
Uncommon cross-sectional area for incredible punch and authority without skin-effect anomalies
