Reference XLR 40 Digital is based on the multi-award-winning Audio 40 product range, now available in AES/EBU digital format.
XLR 40 is designed primarily to reduce jitter, as QED has identified this as a fundamental factor in a high-fidelity experience. Further steps have been taken to eliminate minute timing errors in the cable through the use of a special Zn/Mn ferrite floating jacket together with QED's unique 'Tri-Conductor™' technology, which reduces signal-to-ground capacitance to near-zero levels.
