"...nothing gets you closer to the music.”

Omega Mikro and Clearview
Interconnects, speaker cables, power cords and accessories
by Ron Bauman of inSound and Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade.

We're proud to announce the addition of three new products to our lineup:
An RCA plug upgrade for your interconnects that will knock your socks off, the new Planar Power Central Stratum II with Line Tamer, the Power Clearview Stratum, and a special announcement for Home Theater Enthusiasts!
More to come, stay tuned!

Omega Mikro and Clearview products are the result of a 18 year collaboration between Ron Bauman of inSound Inc. and Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade Recordings. Omega Mikro products have earned the reputation as the best products available for reproducing the sound of live music.

We take our motto "Nothing gets you closer to music" very seriously. To keep our ears in top condition
we constantly attend live jazz, country, folk and classical music recording sessions at Mapleshade Records, the hard rock at CBGB's (when it was in NYC (and we used ear plugs), the live jazz at the Blue Note and Blues Alley, and the best of classical performances at Carnegie Hall and the
National Academies of Science. We compare the sound of these live performances to the session recordings as we develop new and improve our existing products to assure that our products are
getting you ever closer to the sound of live music.

Omega Mikro's line-up has products to meet every budget from our $5460 top-of-the-line Ebony Planar Speaker Cable (Positive Feedback On-Line Brutus award 2003) to our Clearview Ultrathin Digital Audio interconnect at $42.50.

All of our products share the same design philosophy and their sound shares a family trait -
a transparency and live quality that our competition cannot match. Each product is made by hand and designed by careful listening tests coupled with the latest knowledge from the fields of evolutionary neurology, the materials sciences and the physiology of hearing in addition to our core expertize in electrical engineering and mathematics.

We developed three processes to further enhance the sound of our cables and interconnects LCX (Lattice Crystal Alignment), Wave Treatment (WT) and PLUS versions for Clearview products. LCX is an extended immmersion in a cryo refrigerator, with very precisely controlled temperature steps going down in temperature with equally controlled but different sets coming back to room temperature. After reaching room temperature we subject the cables and interconnects to a series of high energy electromagnetic pulses followed by a high flux magnetic field treatment. These three processes significantly smooth the sound while bringing out the subtlest musical details. Many of our products come standard with the LCX treatment. Wave Treatment (WT) comprises the high energy electromagnetic pulse treatment followed by the high flux magnetic field but not the cryo immersion of the LCX process. The LCX treatment accelerates the break-in process so that treated products sound great right out of the box with only a small improvement over the first few hours of play.

The PLUS treatment, available only for Clearview products, is a shortened version of the cryo immersion process we developed for the LCX treatment. The PLUS treatment, after several hours of break-in, results in significant smoothing and detail retrieval compared to the same product not PLUS treated.

All of our standard products come with a 30 day money back guarantee.
