AudioQuest - WEL Signature - Digital AES/EBU XLR Cable (Single)

AudioQuest has created their WELSignature 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 WELSignature AES/EBU balaced-digital interconnect are some of the best-sounding AES/EBU cables available.

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

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. AES/EBU also has its application in the domestic environment as well. 

It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical Reference ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics shield the shield, absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

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 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.
