The Pro-Ject Connect it Line DS XLR 0.82m is a balanced analogue interconnect from Pro-Ject's Design Series cable range, positioned a step above the entry-level Connect it E and S lines. Terminated with full-size three-pin XLR plugs at each end, it is intended to carry line-level signal between balanced sources and amplification — for example linking a phono stage or DAC equipped with XLR outputs to a balanced preamplifier or integrated amplifier.
Internally the cable uses two 0.2mm² 99.99% oxygen-free copper conductors insulated with highly flexible cell polyethylene dielectric, a combination chosen to keep capacitance low and preserve detail across the audio band. The conductors are wrapped in a helical OFC copper screen with an additional carbon-saturated conductive sub-jacket, providing protection against radio-frequency and electromagnetic interference while keeping the cable flexible enough to route neatly behind a rack.
The outer jacket is a thermoplastic elastomer for durability, and both XLR connectors use silver-plated signal pins, which offer higher conductivity and lower contact resistance than gold plating. The result is a well-engineered balanced interconnect that lets the source equipment do the talking, suitable for any system where a true balanced XLR connection is available.
