We engineered Foundation SX speaker cables to include core Synergistic Research technologies in the purest expression possible. We intended to make a complete loom of cables affordable for audiophiles who otherwise might not take that plunge. The loom effect acts as a performance multiplier within the Foundation SX line to deliver soundstaging, low noise floor, dynamics, and musicality beyond Foundation’s individual price points. Foundation SX distills technology from our highest-performance cables, so you can mix and match them with Atmosphere SX, Galileo Discovery, and SRX to maintain the loom effect when a total commitment to our higher-end cable families is not practical; they’re that good. Foundation SX speaker cables start with Air String geometries comprised of pure silver mono-filament conductors in an air dielectric hand-made in our California factory for high levels of detail and natural soundstaging combined with parallel heavy gauge copper matrix conductors, so you experience low frequencies with extension and control. We then apply a UEF Compound first developed for our flagship SRX cable loom for a lower noise floor than was possible with the original Foundation Series for enhanced detail with enhanced musicality. We then apply the same Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning Process that enables SRX cables to lead the industry with realistic sound stage scale plus resolution and musicality in equal measure. Lastly, we included newly developed UEF Carbon Tuning Discs so you can custom voice Foundation SX speaker cables to your system or run them straight. The choice is yours.
Included Carbon Tuning Discs
Tune to perfection.
Included with SR30 interconnects, speaker cables, and power cables, Carbon Tuning Discs ($199.95 MSRP) are a spinoff of our new Atmosphere SX Loom where they are placed inside cables at key locations and are instrumental in creating the SX sound. Based on our patented UEF technology, each disc gets treated with a unique UEF compound that interacts with EM fields wherever you place them in your system or on cables to improve sound quality. The conductive carbon fiber material of the disc enhances the interaction between the UEF compound and the surrounding EM fields where it is placed. The Gold- Carbon Tuning Discs flesh out rich harmonics combined with a clarifying effect in the sound field for a more lifelike and holographic presentation. Purple- Carbon Tuning Discs get treated with a UEF compound that enhances clarity and extension in the soundstage even beyond Gold.
Quantum Tunneling
SRX Long Duration High Voltage Conditioning.
Originally developed for the flagship SRX series cables, the new high voltage conditioning process applies a sweeping frequency plot for an extended duration. We experimented with dozens of frequencies in different combinations over a prolonged time period before landing on just the right mix. We even built a new Tesla Coil to handle the excess heat generated during long conditioning sessions. Once finalized, the SRX conditioning process created holographic realism and timbrel accuracy far beyond our previous Tesla Coil conditioning protocol.

SR BoFa Banana and SR Silver Spade Connectors
Build Notes:
- 16 point-to-point hand soldered connections
- SRX Matrix Shielding: UEF coating with Graphene is applied directly to connectors significantly reducing the noise floor and allowing a purer signal to transfer with less grain providing more warmth and detail
- Silver Solder: 4%
- Hand build time: 2 hours
- SRX Quantum Tunneling: After the cable is completely assembled all connections and cabling are treated with 1,000,000 volts of electricity at specific frequencies and pulse modulations, creating a canal in the conductor material and contact points at the molecular level that allows electrons to flow more freely. This allows the maximum amount of low level information through the conductors and provides for the highest amount of realism in your music
- Secondary UEF Blue Treatment originally developed for SR Blue Fuses
- 5 day Burn-in: 2 step process
- Hand crafted in our California factory
