Family owned and run since it's inception, Cerious Technologies is the brainchild of Robert Grost, a structural engineer and synthetic materials pioneer. After devising the world's first set of speakers designed with fluid filled stainless steel tubes and a cast ballistic ceramic layer, with a final skin of carbon fiber, the Cerious One was born. Cerious Technologies started the day these speakers were hooked up.
Cerious is a leader in the audio equipment community, focused on never-before-heard quality at an affordable price. Our cables are the best you'll find, and each one is handmade by our president and founder himself.

Available in three configurations: Low Current Optimized (RED) for source components, High Current Optimized (BLUE) for power amplifiers, and Power Conditioner Optimized (YELLOW) for power strips and AC line conditioners. Each Graphene Extreme power cord contains:
Graphene Extreme Interconnect comes in Single Ended (RCA) or Balanced (XLR) configurations. All Graphene Extreme interconnects feature:
Graphene Extreme Digital Interconnects come in Single Ended (RCA) or Balanced (XLR) configurations.
A true “Home Run” Graphene Extreme speaker cable has taken the industry by storm. Amazing performance for any price, it even looks expensive (it will be our little secret!). Available terminated with OFC Spades or with Rhodium plated copper banana connectors. Graphene Extreme speaker cables feature:
How do you fit a 0.5” diameter Silent Tunnel conductor into an AC connector? You have custom made AC connectors of course! They look really cool, too…
Gone are the multiple versions of the Graphene Extreme as the single cord in the Graphene Matrix line excels at all levels of spooky dead silence.
Graphene Matrix power cords feature:
Graphene Matrix Speaker cables are LARGE. An 8 foot long set weighs 25 pounds! Applying the design criteria of the Graphene Matrix Silent Tunnel Interconnects and scaling the proportions to speaker cable size meant everything had to be big. The backbone for the negative conductors utilizes 6 gauge Silver wire encased in OFC copper and Graphene powder, which is then encased in over 4 pounds of copper shot and ceramic damping spheres. This much material will require an extended period to settle and reach peak performance.
The positive conductors are comprised of an 8 gauge Silver Matrix, OFC Copper, 60,000 strands of Carbon Fiber, and (of course) Graphene encased in OFC Copper and Graphene powder. This Silent Tunnel conductor is then surrounded with its own 4 pounds of copper shot and ceramic spheres. A little crazy perhaps but this is what it took to clearly outperform Graphene Extreme.
Why is the new line called “Graphene Matrix”? The focus was to find a way to make Graphene a more dominant role in the conductor. Based on medical research for the repair of tissues, woven fabrics are placed in other tissues where they collect blood platelets and ultimately “grow” together with the tissue. We used this as a model for a sophisticated woven tube of VERY fine pure silver wire that “collects” Graphene forming a virtual tube of Graphene. This Graphene tube is then woven with pure Carbon Fiber and larger conductors of copper and silver and placed in a Silent Tunnel Teflon tube where it is encased in OFC copper powder and Graphene. It takes over one hour to make a single 1 meter Graphene Matrix conductor. For this reason Balanced cables will have a premium in cost as they require more conductors and assembly time.
All Graphene Matrix Interconnects include:
Graphene Matrix Interconnects are offered in two lines – Standard which employs only the raw Silent Tunnel conductors wrapped in a Carbon Fiber jacket, and Damping Squared which places the woven conductors in a second larger Silent Tunnel for the ultimate in detail and quiet backgrounds.
At Cerious Technologies we strive for Win-Win scenarios. We do not look at our existing customers as targets for further profits, but as members of the family. We realize that it is frustrating to buy cables, only to have improved models hit the market so we thought long and hard how to make it a positive experience. The Cerious Trade in Policy was born.
Buying new cables and then having to sell your previous cables and even facing having your system shut down after selling your existing cables and waiting for your new cables is not acceptable to us (not how you treat family - except for that weird Uncle that creeps out everybody on Thanksgiving…). So…
Cerious will buy back your Graphene Extreme at 100% of what you paid for it no matter how long you have had it when it is traded in towards Graphene Matrix. This offer only applies to Graphene Extreme purchased directly from Cerious Technologies. No buying 4 pair on Audiogon and trading all 4 pair in on a single pair of Graphene Matrix and trade in applies to a 1:1 trade in so no trading in 3 pair of GE for one pair of Matrix.
Further, if you have purchased GE in the last 3 months, Cerious Technologies will even pay for your return shipping (!) so you will have been able to use GE for free for this time.
The same 30 day trial will exist on Graphene Matrix so you keep your system up and running and at the end of the 30 days return the GE as your trade in or return GM because you have fallen in love with the bang for the buck that GE is known for.
Keep in mind, though, that Graphene Matrix + Damping Squared has the most sophisticated damping jacket ever employed in a cable and will need time to “settle” to reach its maximum performance so constantly swapping it in and out of the system will keep you from ever hearing fully what Graphene Matrix is capable of so be patient.
We, at Cerious, hope this can help you get the maximum enjoyment out of your audio system and reduce stress in your life. Yes we realize Graphene Matrix is not cheap but the time, effort, and cost of materials that go into each piece of GM resulted in the final pricing. We believe after experiencing Graphene Matrix you will feel that it is every bit as cost worthy as Graphene Extreme – and that is saying a lot! Enjoy!
Graphene Matrix is the culmination of over a year of research into the effects of how individual conductor materials interact and how to maximize the positive effects while minimizing signal degradation. The focus was the creation of a unified conductor that behaved as a single component without the drawbacks of pure metal based conductors. The single biggest hurdle, however, was just how good Graphene Extreme is, especially for the money. Any new product offering must be clearly superior or it would be a non-starter.
Graphene is a fascinating material in that it operates at the atomic level. The resonances of the conductor, therefore, also operate at the atomic level. No external damping jacket is capable of dissipating these internal resonances. The conductor itself must be inherently well damped. This lead to the breakthrough of Silent Tunnel Technology.
The whole “conductor in a Teflon jacket surrounded by another larger jacket filled with damping material” had to be tossed out the door. The “damping jacket’ had to become part of the conductor. Using the Graphene Extreme speaker cable as a model, backbone conductors are placed in large thick walled Teflon tubes and they are surrounded with highly powdered OFC copper (yes…powdered copper…) and Graphene. This becomes one unified conductor that is inherently non-resonant down to the atomic level. We then place the Silent Tunnel conductors into larger jackets where additional damping materials are added to dissipate larger vibrations. For this reason we no longer need multiple configurations of power cords, as each Graphene Matrix power cord is ultra quiet at both the large signal and micro dynamic level.
The result is a new level of dynamic ease against hauntingly quiet backgrounds. Massed vocals can now be heard as distinct and clear individual vocalists all while retaining the “Organic” nature Cerious Technologies cables are known for. You even get beautiful retail packaging!
