ANALOG AUDIO CABLES
The X-Band series is an ultra-flexible, sonically transparent,
low-noise, and durable balanced audio cable for use in
critical recording studio facilities or live sound venues.
X-Band multi-pair is both extremely flexible and
flaccid, yet maintains a high degree of durability.
Each oxygen-free copper conductor is insulated
with a unique low k constant, foam
polypropylene dielectric that lowers the
capacitance and extends the bandwidth of
the cable. Low noise and crosstalk is
achieved through exacting pair twisting,
95% braid shielding, and individual
pair jackets. In addition, X-Band also
remains easy to prep and terminate.
The insulation and jacket are both
easy to score, break, and strip; the
tight-weave braided shield is easy to
trim and terminate via the drain
wire. Individual pairs can be easily
identified by the alphanumeric print
and color coded stripe, yet maintain
a more neutral cosmetic appear-
ance in high visibility installations.
