XLR 40 is designed primarily for low capacitance as this has been identified by QED as a major factor which leads to a high fidelity experience. Further steps have been taken to eliminate minute timing errors in the cable by the use of a special floating Zn/Mn ferrite jacket alongside use of QEDs unique 'Tri-Conductor' technology reducing signal to ground capacitance to vanishingly low levels. 99.999% Silver Plated Oxygen Free Copper 24 AWG Tri-Conductors with foamed PE dielectric QED Tri-Conductors provide a level of common mode rejection not found in ordinary "hot cold and screen" cables Unique floating Zn/Mn impregnated ferrite jacket 99.999% OFC outer shield braid for 100% electrostatic screening High performance gold plated Neutrik XLR connectors with low contact resistance and high signal integrity Parallel Capacitance 35 pF Self Inductance 0.8 μH
