Tellurium Q Statement II Speaker Cable
Tellurium Q release their newest range of Statement MkII cables after years of research and developing their technology from the already successful and award winning MkI Statement range. Tellurium Q’s revolutionary new range of outstanding speaker cables are designed to take the performance of your system to new heights.
As with all Tellurium Q's cable series developments, the speaker cable is the one developed first. The capability of their earlier range of cables - Silver Diamond - were a surprise to everyone even Tellurium Q. Improving on the Silver Diamond success would be no small task. Tellurium Q undertook this task by starting again from the ground up, looking at each step in more minute detail and tweaking each and every iteration to optimise performance, and optimise they did. The Statement speaker cable not only surpassed the Silver Diamond, but did so spectacularly, once again blowing everyone's expectations clean out of the water.
Improving the MkII range on from the original Statement cables is a feat in itself. For just the speaker cable, there is a minimum of eight layers for possible development, including multiple dielectrics and conductor types. A single dielectric, on just one layer, took a year for Tellurium Q to perfect and needed multiple materials from various countries and went through numerous tests before the final version was signed off. This level of commitment to research and development is why Tellurium Q cables consistently win awards.
Tellurium Q® are often asked: what do they do that makes their cables perform so well? The simple and unsatisfying answer is that they do a lot of little things together that amount to be crucial in preserving the relative phase of a signal. People assume that to get the best performance, the “fastest” conductor – pure silver, or something even better- has to be used. That is also one of the reasons for the pointless chasing of nines, as I call it, i.e. copper to 99.9999999% purity- as if that is the single most important factor for a cable!
Surprisingly, to get a more “natural” sound, it is not just about merely conduction. This is the reason, any conductor from any cable manufacturer on this planet will act as an electronic filter and by that I mean that the various frequencies relative to one another get shifted with each material they pass through and are also affected by insulators, geometries, shielding etc.. The interesting thing is that materials affect ranges of frequencies in dissimilar amounts. It really is a finely tuned balancing act.
FutureShop's Expert Review of the Tellurium Q Speaker Cables
This comprehensive review delves into the enigmatic world of Tellurium Q speaker cables, exploring their range and audio performance. Distinguished by three colour families—Blue, Black, and Silver—each offering unique sound characteristics, these cables are designed to enhance audio systems of varying qualities. Through in-depth testing with Billie Eilish's "Ocean Eyes," the review illustrates the cables' ability to elevate audio clarity, separation, and dynamics from the warm and cuddly Blue to the vibrant and detailed Silver Diamond. The review also touches on the secretive manufacturing process, suggesting a blend of technical innovation and mystical lore behind their exceptional performance.

Contact Enhancer Option
To ensure the best possible connection between your system, Future Shop recommends the DeoxIT Gold G-Series contact enhancer.
DeoxIT Gold is carefully applied to the plug contacts of your cable and is a unique conditioning solution designed to improve conductivity and provide long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections. DeoxIT Gold penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.
The benefits of applying DeoxIT gold are:
- Improved Conductivity
- Maintained optimum signal quality
- Reduced wear & abrasion
- Prevents fretting/dendrite corrosion
- Forms a protective anti-tarnishing coating
- Stabilises connections between similar and dissimilar metals
- Reduces arcing, RFI and intermittent connections
Please select this option from the above ‘Contact Enhancer’ drop-down menu and our engineers will apply the contact solution to your cable connectors prior to shipping.

"A flagship model, once plugged in it is like unleashing the power of your system - or rather not throttling it like other cables do. Bass is more powerful, high-frequencies more defined while the mid-band is richer with greater detail. It's as though a veil has been lifted from the face of your equipment. What they do best is make music more organic, more natural and, crucially, more exciting." (Read More)

"Again the impression was that these cables were not throttling the system but allowing it to perform naturally...
...Their ability to extract the most from the equipment was again on show...
...Now, I know there are some who doubt the influence of cables on a hi-fi set-up - but these new Statements from Tellurium Q will really let you know what a good wiring loom can do." (Read More)

"Tellurium Q Statements are no usual cable affair and if I've called the Silver Diamonds an Emotional Tour de Force what are then the Tellurium Q Statements!? Well, they certainly transcend any typical labeling and this time I'm elevating them on the throne, that they clearly deserve. Their stand out, extraordinary performance can only be recognized with the 2018 Editor Choice Award!"

"These are probably some of the most expensive cables we've used, though nowhere near as pricey as some. The cable thing is always a dilemma, and nearlyu always a subect of heated debate. However, if you've taken your sysatem as far as it can go, in terms of setup, optimization, room, and power, we suggest trying the Tellurium Q Statement series of cables. The results will amaze you. And they offer power cords too!"

"In testing Statement, I have to say that I was impressed. One of Tellurium Q’s favourite topics is phase coherence, something that you should be able to achieve if you can get all frequencies to travel through the conductors at the same speed. If this is the source of the excellent timing and coherence that these cables deliver then they appear to have succeeded." (Read More)

“…you will also appreciate its dynamics. It is a rich, internally high-quality sound that requires familiarity with live music and high quality systems. Silver Diamond is a great cable, but Statement is much better in every respect. Together, however, they give something more, which will appeal to any kind of music, They give fullness, energy and richness of emotions. “

About Tellurium Q
Tellurium Q cables offer a unique approach to cable performance, focusing on minimising phase distortion, a common problem inherent in all cables. The Tellurium Q team understands that all signal path materials act as electronic filters, impacting the naturalness of vocals and overall audio quality.
Instead of ignoring this issue, Tellurium Q embraces it and engineers cables that provide a clear path for the signal, aiming for the most natural sound possible with current technology. Their construction involves multiple stranded conductors of varying materials, dielectric materials, and geometries. Every detail, from solder mixes to plating thicknesses, is carefully considered.
Tellurium Q has developed three distinct families of sound to cater to different customer preferences: the Tellurium Q Silver range offers silver-like characteristics without harshness, the Tellurium Q Black range (including the Tellurium Q Black Diamond) provides transparent and lifelike reproduction, and the Tellurium Q Blue range adds a slight warmth to balance brighter systems. Each range is designed to enhance the audio experience uniquely. They strive to offer a clear, transparent, and natural listening experience and invite customers to hear the exceptional results of their work for themselves.
Having entered the Hi-Fi scene in 2010, Tellurium Q has won several coveted awards and global recognition. With their extensive range of top-tier cables available in 37 countries, they've accumulated 154 exceptional reviews and 14 'Products of the Year' awards from international Hi-Fi magazines. They have twice received the 'Queen's Award for Enterprise' in recognition of their remarkable export growth. Tellurium Q's uncompromising commitment to excellence ensures its products are not just good or average but exceptional, offering customers the best available in its price range.
