QED Award Winning Cables
QED
Silver Anniversary XT
BI-WIRE
Speaker Cable
QED Silver Anniversary XT Bi-WIRE was designed as the natural replacement for the multi-award winning Silver Anniversary speaker cable.
Designed with performance in mind, QED Silver Anniversary-XT speaker cable boasts all of the characteristics associated with Silver Anniversary, but with the added enhancement of the Aircore™ technology found in the prestigious X-Tube.
Please note that cable is unterminated and photos show optional termination recommended with Airloc connectors.
Features:
Unique SPOFC triple braid 5 x 16 x 0.1mm
Compressible Teflon Aircore™ for ease of termination
Low resistance, low capacitance and low inductance
Easy strip Polyethylene outer jacket
4 x 1.88mm2 conductor cross sectional area
X-TUBE™ WITH AIRCORE™ TECHNOLOGY
One of the big problems as cable conductor size increases, is how to keep the inductance low. This is vital to reduce cable losses and prevent inaccuracies in the signal transfer process, i.e. distortion.
The normal way to do this is to use a number of individually insulated conductors within the cable construction. This method is utilised to great effect in the design of QED's Genesis Silver Spiral loudspeaker cables. However, this results in a product that has a very high quality sound performance, but is expensive to manufacture and can be difficult to terminate.
To take advantage of this design ethos, but in a more conventional format, X-TUBE forms the conductor in the shape of a tube with an inner aircore. This has the same effect as using multiple insulated conductors and ensures that high frequencies are transmitted cleanly, with the added benefit of ease of termination. This unique tubular conductor geometry also provides lower flux density within the conductors, which gives improved transparency to the sound.
Put simply, this is the best termination method to use with QED loudspeaker cables.
To perform as the designer intended, the cable needs to have the very best termination, as sound quality can be adversely affected by using inferior connectors.
QED developed Airloc, a solder-free, airtight perfect fusion between the two metals of cable and plug. This 'cold weld' method allows the cable and plug to offer the optimum signal transfer and therefore, better sound quality.
It also reduces contact resistance and ensures perfect long-term performance.
Airloc ABS banana plugs can be fitted on request -

The new AIRLOC Forte plugs with improved pin section are designed to maximise contact area throughout the wide tolerance range found in 4mm amplifier and speaker sockets. This means that the connection remains uniformly tight and with its premium gold-plating, provides optimum sonic performance through time.

Ideal for general use in any system as well as in the best hi-fi or home cinema system, this loudspeaker cable on offer is particularly suited to installations where performance is paramount and cable lengths can be over several metres.
Consistent with Compass Audio’s ethos these cables offer excellent value for money and outstanding sonic performance!
Please choose the number of metres required when ordering - cable will be shipped as one length.
Please note - one unit = one metre. Reduced shipping costs per additional metre,
due to increase in weight per metre ordered.
