Tellurium Q Statement II RCA Cable

The Ultimate Expression of Analogue Interconnect Performance

The Tellurium Q Statement II RCA Cable represents the flagship single-ended analogue interconnect within Tellurium Q’s acclaimed cable range.

Developed to complement the exceptional performance of the Statement loudspeaker cable, this sophisticated RCA interconnect reflects the manufacturer’s most ambitious approach to signal transmission, musical transparency and natural tonal reproduction.

Its development required a complete reassessment of micro-geometry, production processes, isolation and the many individual construction choices that contribute to the finished cable.

The Statement II RCA is intended for demanding high-end systems in which fine musical detail, dynamic expression, accurate tonal colours and an effortless sense of realism are essential.

Rather than drawing attention to any particular frequency range, the Statement philosophy aims to preserve the complete musical performance with exceptional coherence and refinement.

Developed to Match the Statement Speaker Cable

Tellurium Q traditionally begins development of a cable family with the loudspeaker cable.

The extraordinary reception of Silver Diamond led the company to investigate whether an even higher level of performance could be achieved.

Rather than making a minor modification to the existing design, the development team reconsidered individual construction elements and repeatedly evaluated different solutions.

The original Statement Speaker Cable emerged from that process and established a new flagship performance level for the company.

Creating an RCA interconnect capable of complementing this achievement presented a different engineering challenge.

The manufacturer explains that the RCA cable required a fundamental reconsideration of internal geometry, manufacturing and isolation.

The aim was to preserve the Statement family’s natural, transparent and musically convincing character across the analogue connections between source components and amplification.

The Evolution from Statement to Statement II

The original Statement family established an outstanding reputation for combining transparency with natural musical flow.

Statement II represents the next stage of the company’s development, building upon the original concept while refining its performance further.

Published comparisons between the two generations have highlighted greater perceived clarity, more precise focus, improved midrange insight and stronger bass definition.

Crucially, reviewers have also described the new generation as retaining the musical coherence and naturalness that made the original Statement so highly regarded.

An Uncompromising Engineering Philosophy

Tellurium Q approaches cable development through the interaction of electrical characteristics, construction materials, mechanical geometry and manufacturing precision.

All real analogue cables exhibit electrical resistance, capacitance and inductance. These properties interact with the characteristics of the connected equipment.

The manufacturer places particular emphasis on signal timing and phase relationships as part of its wider design philosophy.

Statement II is the result of extensive development rather than dependence on one material specification or a simple conductor-purity claim.

Its exact conductor materials, internal arrangement and numerical electrical characteristics remain proprietary unless otherwise confirmed by Tellurium Q.

The Importance of Micro-Geometry

Micro-geometry is specifically identified by Tellurium Q as an important consideration in developing the Statement RCA.

The physical arrangement of conductors and insulation influences electrical characteristics and is therefore an important part of cable engineering.

The Statement II design reflects the company’s extensive research into these interactions.

Material Selection and Manufacturing Precision

Geoff Merrigan, Managing Director of Tellurium Q, has explained that exceptional cable performance arises from numerous small decisions working together.

The company’s development philosophy includes evaluation of solder compositions, connector plating, insulating materials and other details that may be overlooked when discussing cable performance.

The manufacturer describes a highly iterative approach involving repeated listening evaluations and comparisons of different construction options.

The cumulative result of this process forms the foundation of the Statement family.

The Statement II Listening Experience

International reviews of Statement II emphasise the combination of exceptional perceived transparency, natural tonal balance and musical involvement.

These descriptions reflect subjective listening evaluations. Results depend on the connected components, their electrical characteristics and the complete audio system.

Extraordinary Transparency and Resolution

Statement II is intended to reveal delicate musical information while preserving the integrity of the complete performance.

Subtle instrumental textures, low-level reverberation and fine dynamic changes contribute to a more convincing musical experience.

Reviewers have praised Statement II for communicating additional information without introducing an artificially analytical presentation.

Natural Midrange and Vocal Presence

The midrange is central to the reproduction of expressive vocals and the natural harmonic character of acoustic instruments.

The Statement II RCA aims to retain the body, texture and musical continuity of these performances.

Published comparisons with the original Statement have identified improvements in perceived midrange insight while retaining the family’s natural and unforced musical character.

Treble Openness Without Harshness

The Statement II philosophy combines exceptional extension and fine detail with a smooth, natural presentation.

High-frequency instrumental harmonics, cymbal decay and delicate recorded ambience are intended to remain clear without unnecessary sharpness.

Hi-Fi+ has particularly praised the revealing character of Statement II without an associated harsh edge.

Bass Authority and Rhythmic Precision

Statement II has received praise for the perceived definition, control and dynamic expression of low-frequency instruments.

The emphasis is on preserving tonal differentiation and rhythmic structure rather than simply adding bass weight.

The Audiophile Man highlighted improved bass power and focus in his comparison between Statement II and the original generation.

Musical Timing and Dynamic Expression

The natural relationship between instrumental attack, harmonic development and decay is fundamental to a convincing musical performance.

Statement II aims to communicate these elements with coherence and precision.

Its performance philosophy accommodates subtle microdynamic changes alongside the large-scale dynamic contrasts of demanding recordings.

Three-Dimensional Soundstage and Spatial Realism

One of the most frequently discussed qualities of Statement II is the impression of exceptional spatial transparency.

Subtle differences in instrumental location, acoustic reflections and decay help communicate the original recording environment.

Reviewers have described the Statement II cable system as presenting instruments with convincing placement, separation and three-dimensional organisation.

The desired effect is not exaggerated width or artificially isolated instruments, but a coherent soundstage that preserves the natural relationship between performers.

A Cable Designed to Disappear from the Experience

The Statement series is associated with the manufacturer’s pursuit of transparency and minimal unwanted tonal character.

In a sufficiently revealing system, the aim is to communicate the recorded performance rather than create an obvious cable signature.

This philosophy helps explain the acclaim received by the second-generation Statement family from publications such as Hi-Fi+, HiFi Pig, The Ear and Mono & Stereo.

Designed for Reference-Level Analogue Connections

The Tellurium Q Statement II RCA Cable is intended for compatible single-ended analogue line-level connections.

Typical applications include:

• Reference DAC to integrated amplifier
• High-end DAC to analogue preamplifier
• CD player analogue RCA output to amplifier
• Network streamer with analogue RCA outputs
• Phono stage line output to preamplifier
• Analogue preamplifier to compatible power amplifier
• High-performance valve and solid-state audio systems

For turntable cartridge connections, choose an appropriate phono-specific cable rather than assuming that a conventional line-level RCA interconnect is electrically suitable.

Statement II RCA and Phono RCA Are Different Products

The Statement II RCA presented here is designed for conventional analogue line-level connections.

The Tellurium Q Statement II Tone Arm Phono RCA Cable is specifically designed for the low-level signal between a compatible turntable and phono stage.

Although both use RCA connectors, their intended applications differ and the two products should not be treated as interchangeable.
