SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable

Cable Construction Materials

• Tri-balanced high gauge 99.99% oxygen-free-copper conductors individually isolated in independent HDPE dielectric jackets for consistent flow, high purity, and minimal signal loss
• 1.6mm HDPE inside core dielectric – the first of the five-layer insulation system shields twisted trio of dedicated conductors
• Aluminium wrap 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 jacket wrapped in densely braided cotton jacket provides flexibility, easy gripping, and forms the final two layers in the five-layer insulation system
• Five-layer isolation system rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI)

XLR Connector Construction Materials

• Precision-soldered with high grade lead-free solder to ensure durable and constant electrical contacts with consistent signal flow
• 24K gold-plated brass conductor pin for stable electrical contact and signal flow
• Solid zinc-alloy terminal with black nickel-plating provides stylish and durable body with comfortable handling
• Red and white marking bands for easy left and right channel designation
• Shield layer is hand-soldered to source terminal chassis connection for best possible grounding and noise rejection

Electrical Properties

• Conductor DCR = 77 mΩ/meter
• Shield DCR: 40 mΩ/meter
• Nominal Impedance: 110Ω. Cable and XLR connectors are impedance-matched to minimise Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and Return Loss.
• Nominal Capacitance: 39 pF/meter @ 1kHz
• Rated Bandwidth: DC-5.0 MHz (3M cable) with ≤1.09 VSWR and ≥27dB Return Loss.
