According to official web site announcement MIT (Music Interface Technologies) cables ceases operation voluntarily due to owner’s decision to retire.
Bruce Brisson has founded MIT cables in 1984 in the USA, when audio cable industry was a fringe enthusiast business and buying public was satisfied with lamp chords as speaker cable and generic RCA coaxial video cables as audio interconnects. Bruce was on a mission to change that.
Brisson first delved into audio business in the late 1970s. Starting with research, he registered a few cable related patents, some of which he licensed to Monster Cable, including the famous multistrand windings aiming at correcting inherent pathways for different frequencies inside the cable and counter skin effect, when higher frequencies are forced to travel further from the core than the low ones.
When operating his own company, MIT (Music Interface Technologies), Bruce Brisson patented and produced some unusual designs. Many industry professionals remember their first encounter with high end cables as noticing passive ‘network boxes’ in-line with the cables, something of a trademark look for MIT.
Anyway according to the announcement on his website Mr. Brisson decided to retire. The company ceased operations and the official website will be taken down in the end of September. The announcement mentions that while there were attempts to pass the knowledge to someone willing to keep MIT cable business going but it proved to be too complicated a task. Not finding a successor who can keep the production within existing cost and quality frames Bruce Brisson had to retire and close the company down.
