The CLEAR Sky brings CLEAR technology to a lower price point. The individual conductors are less fine than those found in the higher-tier CLEAR cables, but are also wound around a Kevlar core. The cable uses PE air tubes for stabilization and features a braided metal shield. The two inner conductors are twisted together with the PE air tubes. For the XLR version, the shield serves as the ground conductor.

Despite the relatively simple construction, the major advantages of CLEAR technology—with its transparent and natural soundstage—come fully into play. Naturally, voices also possess the signature Cardas warmth. The cable is very flexible, making it easy to use even in hard-to-reach positions. The CLEAR Sky plays with slightly less of the inner calm that characterizes the larger Cardas cables. It is excellently suited for entry-level enthusiast systems that might not yet qualify as "high-end," but already clearly stand out from mass-market products.

Termination options:

The cable is available balanced with Neutrik XLR connectors or unbalanced with Cardas GRMO RCA connectors. For the XLR version, Cardas CG XLR connectors are available as an upgrade for an additional charge. Both the cable and the RCA connectors originate from the USA, and the cable is hand-terminated in Bandon (Oregon, USA).
