QED XT40i 5m X-Tube Technology Reference Speaker Cable Terminated with Airloc Banana Plugs

As is the case of a company that is rapidly moving closer to its fifth decades at the forefront of speaker cable design, the all-new XT40i speaker cable from QED builds on the dreaded reputation of the XT40 cable it replaces and offers a decisive step in sound quality. The Air Gap dielectric increases the separation of conductors inside the cable, and thus the amount of air between them, QED has created a low air loss dielectric. This technology halves the cable dissipation and capacity characteristics, and results in many sound improvements, especially when it comes to synchronization and rhythmic accuracy. Despite this increased separation, the XT40i retains the kind of cross area making it ideal for long cable distances. X-Tube technology forming cable conductors in a tube shape around a hollow insulating rod in the center of the cable equalizing current density, provides very low inductance and exhibits a constant and uniform load to an amplifier. The result is a cable that retains more of the finest musical details, handles rhythms and tempos in the most natural and satisfying way, and outperforms rival designs costing much more. We invite you to audit XT40i – we're confident you'll agree that it even outperforms alternative cables at several times the price. Get ready to be surprised and delighted.
