Van Damme STARQUAD Balanced or Stereo TRS Jack Lead. Neutrik NP3X

Van Damme Tour Grade Classic XKE Starquad is specified for analogue audio signals in areas of high electronic interference. Ideal for outside broadcast in areas that may be subject to EMI and RFI – for example, in close proximity to lighting dimmer circuits and major power feeds. This cable combines electrical integrity with mechanical strength without compromising flexibility.

Perfect for interconnecting devices such as microphones, mixing desks, home AV systems, sound cards, monitor speakers, amplifiers, DSLR cameras, portable recorders, etc. 

Balanced leads minimise noise interference by using two twisted cores (1 x + & 1 x -). The signals are sent perfectly out of phase with one another and then re-inverted at the destination. The interference collected along the cable length is also then inverted, so put out of phase and made silent. Starquad leads use two cores per signal path (2 x + & 2 x -) tightly twisted around each other. This increases the surface area of the cable cores and means that noise is induced more evenly down the length.

The Truth behind Gold and Silver Connectors........

Silver is the better conductor however gold is highly resistant to corrosion so is favoured for its durability.
