SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Cable

CABLE MATERIALS:

• Three-balanced high gauge 99.99% oxygen-free-copper conductors individually insulated in independent HDPE dielectric jacks for consistent current, high purity, and minimal signal loss
• 1.6 mm HDPE dielectric inner core – the first of the five-layer insulation system shields the twisted trio of dedicated conductors
• Aluminum winding shield – the second layer in the shielding and insulation system
• 56-strand spiral braid of 99.99% OFC tinned copper soldered to chassis ground terminal forms critical third barrier in the five-layer insulation system to remove EMI and RF noise between electronics
• High-density PVC sheath wrapped in a tightly woven cotton sheath provides flexibility and good grip, forming the last two layers in the five-layer insulation system
• Five-layer insulation system rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI)

XLR CONNECTOR – CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS:

• Precision soldered with high-quality lead-free solder for durable and constant electrical contacts with consistent signal flow
• 24K gold-plated brass conductor pins for stable electrical contact and signal flow
• Solid zinc alloy terminal with black nickel plating provides stylish and durable housing with comfortable operation
• Red and white marker bands for easy left and right channel designation
• The shielding layer is hand-soldered to the chassis connector of the source device for the best possible grounding and noise suppression

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES:

• DCR of the conductor = 77 mOhm/meter
• DCR of the shield: 40 mOhm/meter
• Nominal impedance: 110 ohms.
• Cable and XLR connectors are impedance matched to minimize VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and return loss.
• Nominal capacitance: 39 pF/meter @ 1kHz
• Nominal bandwidth: DC-5.0 MHz (3 meter cable) with <=1.09 VSWR and >=27dB Return Loss.
