Tech Specs

Cable Construction Materials:

  • Tri-balanced high gauge 99.99% oxygen-free-copper conductors individually isolated in independent HDPE dielectric jackets for consistent flow, high purity, and minimal signal loss
  • 1.6mm HDPE inside core dielectric – the first of the five-layer insulation system shields twisted trio of dedicated conductors
  • Aluminum wrap shield – the second layer in the shielding and insulation system
  • 56-strand spiral braid of 99.99% OFC tinned copper soldered to chassis ground terminal forms critical third barrier in the five-layer insulation system to remove EMI and RF noise between electronics
  • High density PVC jacket wrapped in densely braided cotton jacket provides flexibility, easy gripping, and forms the final two layers in the five-layer insulation system
  • Five-layer isolation system rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI)

XLR Connector Construction Materials:

  • Precision-soldered with high grade lead-free solder to ensure durable and constant electrical contacts with consistent signal flow
  • 24K gold-plated brass conductor pin for stable electrical contact and signal flow
  • Solid zinc-alloy terminal with black nickel-plating provides stylish and durable body with comfortable handling
  • Red and white marking bands for easy left and right channel designation
  • Shield layer is hand-soldered to source terminal chassis connection for best possible grounding and noise rejection

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES:

  • Conductor DCR = 77 mΩ/meter
  • Shield DCR: 40 mΩ/meter
  • Nominal Impedance: 110Ω. Cable and XLR connectors are impedance-matched to minimize Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and Return Loss.
  • Nominal Capacitance: 39 pF/meter @ 1kHz
  • Rated Bandwidth: DC-5.0 MHz (3M cable) with ≤1.09 VSWR and ≥27dB Return Loss.

    Sound Path XLR cables. Value and performance.

    I currently run a SVS Ultra Tower 5.2.2 system including to PB 16 Ultras. The system is powered by 2 Emotiva XPA amplifiers pushing 275w to each speaker in the multi-channel setup, all controlled by a Monolith HTP1 processor I just purchased. The monolith only can use XLR cables so looked at budget cables with good reviews, this way my wife wouldn’t murder me for spending more money. I chose the SVS’s and couldn’t be happier. They are built really well and sound fantastic. When I add a few more channels this summer, I will purchase more Soundpath cables without question. I’ve been an SVS customer for over 20 years, having bought my first real subwoofer from them in 2002, a PB2+, and have been hooked on the products and customer service since.

    Reliable well made products

    Excellent products and a company that stands behind them! I have 4 SB4000 subwoofers in my home theater and wanted to make sure they had great connections. I knew I could trust SVS cables to be "snake oil" free and provide excellent signal path.
