SVS SoundPath Balanced XLR Cable Pair - 1 m - 2 m

Description

Tri-Balanced Design With Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors

The SVS SoundPath uses a tri-balanced structure — three 99.99% oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors, each individually isolated in an HDPE dielectric jacket. This layout keeps the balanced signal stable between components and lets the receiving XLR input reject common-mode noise picked up along the cable. The cable ships as a pair, matching a stereo source to an amplifier or a preamplifier to mono blocks.

Five-Layer Shielding and 24K Gold-Plated Connectors

Shielding combines five layers of RF and EMI protection: an HDPE dielectric jacket, an aluminum foil wrap, a 56-strand tinned copper braid, a drain layer, and a densely braided cotton outer jacket. The XLR terminals use die-cast zinc-alloy bodies with black nickel plating, 24K gold-plated brass pins, and lead-free solder joints for reliable long-term contact. Red and white color-coded bands identify the left and right channels.

Common Questions

Is this sold as a single cable or a pair?

This is sold as a pair — two XLR cables — as is standard for a stereo run between a preamplifier and an amplifier.

Which audio components is this cable meant for?

Any audio device with balanced XLR inputs or outputs: preamplifiers, power amplifiers, AV receivers with XLR outputs, active subwoofers with XLR inputs (SVS 3000, 5000, and 17-Ultra R|Evolution series, among others), and sound processors.

What is the advantage of a balanced XLR run over RCA?

A balanced XLR run carries the signal on two conductors in opposite phase plus a ground. The receiving input reconstructs the signal by subtracting the two conductors, which cancels common-mode noise picked up along the cable — a meaningful advantage on long runs or in electrically noisy environments.
