Canare L-4E6S Balanced Audio Interconnect Cable - Neutrik Connectors

Canare L-4E6S Balanced Audio Interconnect Cable. This picture shows the
3-pin connector configuration. Notice the nice finish work on the metal connector bodies and the gold-plated pins.

This Canare L-4E6S Star Quad balanced audio interconnect cable is not mass-produced in a factory - each cable is expertly hand-crafted, just for you, at order time!

This uncommon attention to detail makes these cables perfect for connecting pre-amps, processors, amplifiers, receivers, subwoofers, or any equipment that is equipped with 3-pin XLR-style balanced audio connectors.

The interconnects on this page are sold singly, but of course, you can purchase multiples for stereo or multi-channel hook-ups. Excellent for microphones and mixers as well.

Unlike some of the other Canare cable assemblies that you may have seen, ours are hand-crafted, using Neutrik's finest XLR connectors. We use only fresh cable stock and connectors - no old stock or factory seconds. Our terminations are hand-soldered, using the best techniques and the finest silver solder.

The Cable

We use Canare's best balanced audio cable, L-4E6S - Canare's premier Star Quad cable! This super-flexible cable features four conductors, arranged in a Star Quad configuration. Each of the four conductors is made of forty strands of high-conductivity annealed copper, for an aggregate gauge of 21 AWG. Canare uses natural cotton fillers to maintain the smooth, round, form-factor of the cable, while maintaining maximum flexibility. A braided shield contributes further to the remarkable flexibility and long flex-life of this cable. The jacket is satin smooth to the touch and has a non-glare matte finish.

The famous Star Quad design cancels electromagnetically induced noise (EM) by its very design. The noise is reduced to less than one-tenth of the level found in some competitor's cables. Canare uses a special process to create a cross-linked polymer compound for the insulation. This means that the dielectric has a lower capacitance, resulting in superior frequency response. To further reduce noise, a high-density braided, tinned-copper shield is used. Unlike spirally shielded cables, Canare's braided shield is designed to prevent spreading over time. The braid is made from a large number of thin copper strands for outstanding noise rejection, super flexibility and long flex-life.

The result is superior signal transmission with the lowest possible noise.

Neutrik Connectors

We use the Neutrik "X Series" connectors, which are arguably the most respected XLR connectors available today. They have a copper-plated alloy shell with a black chrome finish for optimum shielding and long-lasting beauty. The contacts are gold-plated for consistent high-conductivity contact. In addition, they have a highly effective integrated strain-relief system to help prevent cable and connection damage.

This connector works so well with Canare cable that Canare has actually featured it in their own catalog.

USA Shipping Options

USPS Priority Mail
Air service that provides 1 to 3 day delivery to US addresses. It includes basic tracking information as well as Delivery Confirmation. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

USPS Priority Mail Express
Premium air service that provides overnight delivery to most (but not all) US addresses. Better tracking and faster delivery than Priority Mail. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.

USPS First Class Mail
Economy service for items weighing less than 13 ounces and valued at less than $200. This service is typically a day slower than priority mail and since scanning is optional, the tracking is of limited value.

UPS Ground
Economical alternative to mail services, particularly for large/heavy items. Being a ground service, it is not fast unless you happen to be close to our shipping location, but tracking is typically superior to mail services.

UPS 3 Day Select
Guaranteed delivery within 3 business days. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

UPS 2nd Day Day Air
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the second business day. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

International Shipping Options

Priority Mail Express International (EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.

Priority Mail International
Available for items under $300 in value. Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery is typically slower and tracking is less reliable than PMEI.

First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under $200. This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.

Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.

Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service. The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.

International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected. Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
