2m Pair of QED XT40i Reference Speaker Cable with X-Tube Technology Terminated with Airloc Banana Plugs (2m Terminated Pair)

• As befits a company rapidly closing in on its fifth decades at the forefront of speaker cable design, QED’s brand new XT40i speaker cable builds on the formidable reputation of the XT40 cable it replaces and offers a decisive step up in sound quality.

QED's XT40i speaker cable builds on the respected reputation of the XT40 cable and offers a step-change in sound quality. Air Gap Dielectric increases the separation of the conductors inside the cable and therefore the amount of air between them, QED has created a low loss Air Gap Dielectric. This technology halves the cable's loss and capacitance characteristics and results in numerous audible improvements - particularly in timing and rhythmic accuracy. Despite this increased separation, XT40i retains the type of cross-sectional area that makes it ideal for long cable runs. X-Tube Technology The cable conductors into a tube-like shape around a hollow insulating rod in the center of the cable balances current density, delivers very low inductance and presents a consistent, even load to the amplifier. The result is a cable that retains more of the finest musical details, that handles rhythms and tempos in the most natural and musically satisfying way.
