This product has been moved to our Legacy range. While it remains available for customers who require an exact replacement, we no longer recommend it for new installations due to potential ground loop issues with the Switchcraft 35HDNN connector when used with some Apple Mac computers and other grounded metal-bodied equipment. We recommend selecting one of our current alternative cable options for the best compatibility.

These leads are cleverly wired to improve the signal quality when connecting a stereo device to a balanced XLR input. Our method is tried and tested by professionals around the world, you will find these cables in use in high end DSLR camera rigs and PA setups.
To wire these we use a 4 core and screen cable, and wire the unused pin inside the XLR to the ground inside the jack. The screen is only connected to the XLR. This method reduces interference, eliminates ground loops and improves the signal quality. Its very simple, and very effective! Should you require any other wiring to suit your requirements, please ask.
We have used the world renowned Van Damme Starquad cable with industry standard Neutrik and Switchcraft connectors. These cables look and sound great. All terminations are made with a 3.5% silver solder.
