AudioQuest - Diamond - Digital AES/EBU XLR Audio Cable (Single)

AudioQuest has created their Diamond AES/EBU balanced-digital interconnect to match or exceed the AES/EBU standard. Engineered with their carbon-based, 7-layer Noise-Dissipation System, solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors, and cold-welded red copper terminations; their Diamond AES/EBU balaced-digital interconnect are some of the best-sounding AES/EBU cables available.

AES/EBU, developed jointly by the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union, established a two-channel digital standard for interconnecting digital devices in the professional world. But, AES/EBU also has its application in the domestic environment as well. While AES/EBU can be single-ended, balanced, or optical, here we refer to the balanced-digital interconnect.

Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
