We're proud to announce the addition of seven new products to our lineup:
A new absolutely stunning 30 Watt Planar power Cord, 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, a special announcement for Home Theater Enthusiasts, balanced interconnects and Field-Shaping Ground Planes (FSGP)!
DIYers - we have transformers, chokes, copper ribbon, capacitors and RCA plugs
By popular demand all Omega Mikro and Clearview interconnects are now available in balanced configuration at no additional cost (these are considered custom items)!
We developed a purist balanced interconnect system that avoids the heavy dielectric cylinder used in all other XLR plugs. Early users tell us they have been blown away by the improvement they hear in transparency, purity, dynamics, sound stage focus and three dimensionality. Our balanced interconnects truly bring you closer to the sound of live music than any other balanced interconnects. They are custom products but priced the same as our regular interconnects. If you 'd like to convert your Omega Mikro or Clearview interconnect to balanced configuration please call us for pricing.We recently replaced the Planar Analog I with the Planar Analog II. The AII includes a short, 300mirco-inch series section that gives more than a slight improvement in sound. The AII is priced the same as the AI.
More to come, stay tuned! A techno-breakthru- 200 mirco-inch ribbon interconnects!

Omega Mikro and Clearview products are the result of a 21 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.
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 immersion in a cryo refrigerator, with very precisely controlled temperature steps going down in temperature with equally controlled but different steps coming back to room temperature. After reaching room temperature we treat the cables and interconnects to a protocol of high energy electromagnetic pulses followed by a high flux magnetic field. 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.
We focus exclusively on offering you the best sounding products at the lowest possible cost. We make every Omega Mikro and Clearview product one at a time by hand. Then we inspect and test each item and then we test again after our PLUS, WT or LCX treatments. To keep the selling price as low as possible we use very simple and low cost packaging.
