Our History
Prior to 1976, speaker cables were just cables, often plain electrical cords similar to house-hold lighting flex, up to 2.5mm at most. Then came Supra...
It started with Supra Classic 2.5mm, a huge step up which shook the Hi-fi world and from there-on, many followed our inventive ideas. Supra has won an impressive number of awards all over the world often in comparison with more expensive competitors.
After our trend setting introduction in 1976 and our serious approach to Hi-Fi interconnects, Supra has contributed with numerous products e.g. LoRad, Sword, and Ply, to the latest Cat8, USB and ground breaking Quadrax. And, still there are new products just awaiting to be launched.
The Supra concept, or perhaps more correctly, the Supra philosophy is best described as plain and simple No-Nonsense-Design.
All products should be manufactured from parts meeting the highest audible and measureable quality standards.
• The products should be innovative and derived from established science principles.
• We manufacture in our own dedicated production facilities, constantly monitored by our certified quality staff, here in Ljungskile, in Sweden!
The Tommy Jenving Legacy
In 1976, we launched our equivalent to today’s speaker cable Classic 2 x 2.5 mm2 and we shook the market foundation! After this, at the time groundbreaking, approach to incorporate cables as an equally important part of any hifi system, numerous cable brands now act on the market. But remember, Supra Cables was the original! The adjustable spanner, the propeller, the safety pin and Dynamite have also come from Sweden, so perhaps it is not so surprising we also make a contribution also in this field.
