Detailed Description

Professional Standard Neutrik Plugs

Equipped with Neutrik XX-14 Nickel Series connectors, the Reference XLR 40 cables are designed to endure professional use. These rugged connectors offer exceptional ground continuity, complementing QED's Tri-Conductor geometry for superior electrostatic screening.

Silver-Plated Conductors

The Reference XLR 40 cables use 99.999% silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors combined with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) dielectrics to minimize signal loss and distortion, delivering exceptional clarity and detail.

Floating Ferrite Jacket

A Zn/Mn ferrite jacket absorbs high-frequency noise outside the audio band. Measurements confirm this unique feature delivers a cleaner and tighter signal pattern, crucial for professional-grade audio fidelity.

Unique Tri-Conductor Technology

The innovative Tri-Conductor configuration adds a third silver-plated conductor twisted alongside the signal pair. This design significantly reduces signal-to-ground capacitance, improving common mode rejection of mains hum and interference, particularly effective in balanced connections.
