Description

QED Reference AUDIO 40 Phono RCA Interconnect Cable

QED Reference AUDIO 40 Phono RCA Interconnect Cable on offer is part of the new award winning QED Reference Audio 40 range, celebrating over 40 years of QED innovation.

QED Reference AUDIO 40 Phono CableThe Reference Audio 40 analogue cable range is an entirely new design concept from QED. The cordage is designed primarily for low capacitance as this has been identified by QED as a significant  factor which leads to a high fidelity experience, making for a tight sound and retaining the rhythm of the original piece. Add QED’s Complementary Conductor TechnologyTM for high frequency detail and Analoc TechnologyTM to maximise signal integrity and the result is what we feel to be the most innovative interconnect ever made by QED.

QED Reference AUDIO 40 Phono RCA Interconnect Cable will connect your CD player, DAC or tuner to your amplifier or receiver.

Complementary Conductor Technology

Complementary Conductor Technology

Complementary conductor geometry utilises two conductors of different diameters to carry the same audio signal, providing an alternative path for high frequency audio which might otherwise become time smeared in a single audio pathway.

Analoc

Analoc2™ Plug Technology

QED Analoc2™ RCA plugs feature high-purity copper signal and ground connections supported by a new non-conductive low eddy current body. The hollow central pin eliminates the skin effect at high frequencies and the revised locking barrel design clamps the dual blade ground connection firmly to the RCA sockets for improved noise rejection. The all new Analoc2™ design cleverly substitutes high rigidity thermoplastic material for both the inner support structure and the cable strain relief to eliminate the distorting effects of eddy currents, which are always present in ordinary plugs where bulk brass is used instead.

Ferrite Insulation Technology

Ferrite Insulation Technology

A special floating Zn/Mn Ferrite jacket is used within the Audio 40 cordage to absorb very high frequency noise components outside of the audible band that have an adverse effect on the micro-timing of the audio signal.
