The SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Audio Cable is designed to deliver pristine signal transfer between balanced audio components. Part of SVS's SoundPath accessories range, it sits alongside the SoundPath speaker cables and HDMI cables as a complementary signal-path upgrade for systems built around balanced connections. Suited to linking subwoofers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and AV receivers fitted with balanced XLR inputs and outputs, the cable is available as a single run in lengths from 1m to 15m.
Construction
At the heart of the SoundPath XLR is a five-layer insulation system engineered to reject the interference and induced noise that can degrade audio signals over longer cable runs — a particular concern in the 15m configuration where the signal path is most exposed to external electromagnetic fields. The XLR connectors are fitted with 24K gold-plated pins for optimal conductivity. The cable itself is sheathed in a densely braided cotton jacket that provides physical protection, a confident grip when plugging and unplugging, and a premium tactile quality in keeping with SVS's audiophile positioning.
Connectivity
The cable terminates in standard 3-pin XLR connectors at both ends, making it compatible with any component equipped with balanced XLR inputs or outputs: subwoofers with balanced LFE inputs, preamplifier main outputs, power amplifier inputs, microphone preamplifiers, and AV receivers with balanced pre-out sections. The balanced topology inherently rejects common-mode interference, making the SoundPath XLR an appropriate choice when long cable runs are unavoidable in a listening room installation.
