Reference XLR 40
Analogue Reference XLR 40 is based on the multi-award-winning Audio 40 product range, now available in XLR form.
XLR 40 is designed primarily for low capacitance, as QED has identified this as a major factor leading to 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, reducing signal-to-ground capacitance to practically zero.
