Clear Digital Cable AES/EBU
$800.00 USD
Sold individually.
Cardas Clear Digital AES/EBU employs a perfectly symmetrical tri-axial geometry by using air tubes to separate and suspend our PTFE-taped, Matched Propagation conductors. Additional air tubes are arranged outside the core of the cable to place the braided shield in the perfect position. Additional shielding is provided by a carbon-impregnated semi-conductive PTFE tape, which works with the shield to dissipate noise.
Termination Options:
Clear AES/EBU comes terminated with Cardas CG-XLR plugs.
Cardas Clear has advanced the state of the art in both musicality and accuracy. It was only a matter of time until George focused this technology on digital audio transmission. It comes as no surprise to find that these technologies are redefining performance standards for digital audio.
Cardas Clear AES/EBU represents the culmination of many years of research and development into digital audio transmission. Clear Digital AES/EBU employs a perfectly symmetrical triaxial geometry by using air tubes to separate and suspend our PTFE tapes, Matched Propagation conductors. Additional air tubes are arranged outside the core of the cable to place the braided shield in the perfect position. Additional shielding is provided by a carbon-impregnated semi-conductive PTFE tape, which works with the shield to dissipate noise.
The outer jacket is finished in our signature blue TPR jacket, which is amazingly pliable and flexible. Clear Digital AES/EBU comes terminated standard with Cardas CG XLR connectors.
