The 4.4 mm XLR Cable Standard Edition from iFi Audio is a high-quality audio cable. It is ideal for seamlessly connecting devices with a 4.4 mm balanced output, such as the iDSD Diablo 2, the ZEN DAC V2, and the NEO Stream, to top-notch audio components with XLR inputs like preamps or power amplifiers. The carefully constructed cable features conductive, oxygen-free copper conductors (OFC) that ensure excellent signal transmission and impeccable sound quality. The innovative dual-core parallel structure of the cable, combined with an efficient and durable metal braid, serves as a robust shield that effectively protects the cable from interference caused by radio frequencies and electromagnetic interference. The use of environmentally friendly, RoHS-compliant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for insulation, which boasts an impressive voltage resistance of up to 1000 volts AC, further contributes to the cable's remarkable durability and impressive safety. The meticulously crafted connectors of the cable are coated with high-quality gold plating, which not only ensures minimal resistance transmission and perfectly balanced connections but also guarantees a long lifespan for the plugs. The XLR connector features a robust housing made of aluminum alloy and gold-plated contacts, while the 4.4 mm connector has a smooth, gold-plated surface, precisely machined angles, and a 1.5 mm high edge for a reliable audio connection of unparalleled quality. With a convenient length of one meter and a net weight of 110 grams, the cable is both handy and robust.
