These connectors are rugged and reliable and are the connector of choice for audio professionals around the world. They are particularly suited to QED's Tri-ConductorTM geometry due to the additional ground spring contacts which make for better shell ground continuity for the unique electrostatic screen which is only connected at the source end of the cable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #66157d;\"\u003eJUST LISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver plated conductors, LDPE dielectrics and legendary build quality combine to create audible sonic improvements.

When measured using high frequency measurement equipment, Audio 40 products convey a comparably cleaner and tighter signal pattern when its special Zn\/Mn ferrite jacket is present. This has a beneficial effect on audio signal micro-timing, reducing digital jitter and timing errors to an ultra low level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #66157d;\"\u003eUNIQUE TRI-CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQEDs unique Tri-Conductor technology uses a third Silver plated 99.999% OFC conductor which is integrally twisted alongside the similarly constructed signal pair to carry the ground return currents. This reduces signal to ground capacitance to vanishingly low levels affording the cable improved common mode rejection of mains hum pickup over ordinary \"hot cold and screen\" cables. This geometry is particularly effective in pro hi-fi audio applications when connecting pre and power amps using balanced cables or high end streamers to DACs using digital XLR AES\/EBU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ferrite Insulation Technology\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0941\/9094\/files\/ferrite.png?v=1765798278\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px;\" title=\"Ferrite Insulation Technology\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFERRITE INSULATION TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Tri Conductor Technology\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0941\/9094\/files\/tri.png?v=1765798282\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px;\" title=\"Tri Conductor Technology\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTRI CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQEDs unique Tri-Conductor technology uses a third Silver plated 99.999% OFC conductor which is integrally twisted alongside the similarly constructed signal pair to carry the ground return currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr class=\"Apple-interchange-newline\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Ultra Low Jitter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0941\/9094\/files\/ultra_20low_20jitter.png?v=1765798285\" style=\"float: left; margin: 10px;\" title=\"Ultra Low Jitter\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eULTRA LOW JITTER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJitter is the undesired deviation from true periodicity of an assumed periodic signal in electronics and telecommunications, often in relation to a reference clock source.
