SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable for clean signal transmission

The SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable is a balanced XLR audio cable for hi-fi and home theater components with suitable XLR inputs and XLR outputs.

It connects preamplifiers, power amplifiers, subwoofers, AV receivers, microphones, and other audio components where stable and low-interference signal routing is important.

Advantage of an XLR Cable in an Audio System

The advantage of this XLR cable lies in its connection via balanced XLR connectors and its elaborate shielding against interference.

The five-layer insulation system is designed to suppress interference, EMI, and RF noise between audio components.

Five-Layer Insulation Against Interference

The shielding consists of multiple layers, including HDPE insulation, aluminum wrap shield, tinned copper spiral braid, PVC jacketing, and a tightly braided cotton jacket.

The cable uses tri-balanced high-gauge conductors made of 99.99% oxygen-free copper.

Precision XLR Connectors with Gold-Plated Pins

The XLR connectors are precision-soldered using high-quality lead-free solder.

24K gold-plated pins ensure good conductivity, while the zinc alloy clamp with black nickel plating forms a stable and durable connector housing.

Can a single XLR cable transmit stereo?

A single SVS Balanced XLR Audio Cable does not transmit a stereo signal, but a balanced mono signal.

For stereo playback, two separate XLR cables are required: one cable for the left channel and one cable for the right channel. Therefore, stereo pairs of the SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable are color-coded to facilitate channel assignment.

Which devices is the SVS XLR cable suitable for?

The cable works with preamplifiers, power amplifiers, subwoofers, AV receivers, microphones, and other audio components with balanced XLR inputs and XLR outputs.

Sonic Goal

In conjunction with suitable audio components, the cable is designed for a rich soundstage, three-dimensional imaging, unveiled highs, neutral mids, and tight, articulate bass.

The warranty period for the SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable is 5 years.
