Chord Signature AES/EBU Digital cable

The Chord Company Signature AES/EBU Digital Cable

The two most commonly found digital connection options on the back of hi-fi and home cinema equipment are the SPdif and optical connections. Some equipment however also offers the chance to connect via a 3 pin XLR to 3 pin XLR. This is the AES EBU connection. Due to the increase in the number of available stand-alone digital to analogue converters, Chord felt that it was time to offer a high-end cable featuring the AES EBU connection.

The end result of this is the Chord Signature AES/ EBU This is an entirely new design where each conductor is separately shielded using a high-frequency effective shield. The three solid core conductors are produced using a specially treated high purity oxygen free copper. The insulation is gas foamed polyethene and the shields themselves are of a multilayer design using a composite of materials. High-quality silver-plated Neutrik XLR connectors are used. If you would like to hear your digital music at it's best, this is a 'must buy' cable.

Here is a little bit of key information about the product:

• High purity solid core oxygen-free copper signal conductors
• Low density foamed polyethene insulation
• The multi-layer composite high-frequency effective shielding system
• High-quality Neutrik XLR connectors
