Detailed Description

ARAY Technology

The ShawlineX XLR cable incorporates the ARAY technology, a proprietary conductor configuration developed by The Chord Company. This technology enhances signal integrity and reduces interference, resulting in a cleaner and more accurate audio signal.

Conductors and Insulation

Each ShawlineX XLR cable features silver-plated conductors, which provide excellent conductivity and durability. These conductors are insulated with XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), known for its low dielectric constant and high resistance to electrical breakdown. This combination ensures minimal signal loss and maximum transmission efficiency.

Composite Shielding

To protect the audio signal from electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, the ShawlineX XLR cable uses a composite shielding material. This shielding works over a wide bandwidth, ensuring that the signal remains clear and unaffected by external noise sources.

ChorAlloy™ Plated Connectors

The connectors on the ShawlineX XLR cable are plated with ChorAlloy™, a proprietary alloy developed by The Chord Company. This plating offers better conductivity and resistance to corrosion compared to traditional gold or silver plating, ensuring a reliable connection over the long term.
