QED by Digitalis Audio (QED Authorised partner) QED Silver Anniversary XT Cable with X-Tube(TM) technology 5m Terminated with 4mm Airloc Forte Banana Plugs(5m, Airloc Terminated)

The QED Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire successfully introduces QED's high end 'X-Tube' technology into a mid-priced product for the first time. The precise cylindrical construction of the silver-plated, 99.999% pure, oxygen free copper cables reduces the distortion caused by 'skin effect'. The result is a completely neutral speaker cable that allows good hi-fi and home cinema equipment to shine. At low frequencies both QED Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire and conventional stranded/solid core speaker cable convey signals in a linear way. At higher frequencies QED Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire retains a near-linear signal transfer, whereas the conventional stranded/solid core cable fails to efficiently conduct higher frequencies uniformly across the entire conductor area. The effect of this is to reduce the actual cross-sectional area of the cable at 15 kHz to less than 75% of that at low frequencies. The result is induced distortion and a compromise in the performance of the cable. The QED Silver Anniversary-XT Bi-Wire with Aircore technology exhibits much lower self-inductance and is therefore less affected by this problem. The use of an innovative Polyethylene aircore enables a reduction in loop inductance to levels only usually achievable by using more costly and difficult to terminate cables.
