Stereovox History

In 1992 Chris Sommovigo founded the specialty audiophile cable company ILLUMINATI Electronic Systems and Cables, Inc. He designed and manufactured what was arguably the first true 75-Ohm digital cable, and the very first 75-Ohm digital RCA connector.That debut product was Illuminati's DataStream Reference. It soon became famous for its extraordinary accuracy.

Between 1992 and 1996 Chris introduced several newer and more flexible cable designs, including the legendary "ORCHID" AES/EBU cable, the ubiquitous D-60 S/PDIF digital cable, and the cost-effective DV-75 digital and video cable. These designs remain ranked among the best in the world and have been listed in Stereophile's reference "Recommended Components" issue since 1996.

From 1997 to the present, Chris has dedicated his focus to creating the finest and most precise audio cables in the world under the STEREOVOX brand. Employing high technology precision solutions typically reserved for military, aerospace and surveillance industries, Stereovox cables are themselves extreme examples of precision audio cable design and execution.

Stereovox cables complete the rarest of reference audio systems, and bridge the gap between Audio and Music.
