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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"skus\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFEATURES AND BENEFITS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cols\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAward Winning Heritage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference XLR 40 builds on the multi-award winning Audio 40 range of products, now available in XLR form.
