Synergistic Research Foundation SX Phono Cable

Synergistic Research Foundation SX Phono Cable

A specialist low-level analogue cable for suitable turntable and phono-stage connections, with RCA, XLR and DIN options available in the existing listing. The Foundation SX family combines a coherent hi-fi cable design approach with different purpose-built connections for analogue, digital, power and loudspeaker applications.

Manufacturer construction and technology

Synergistic Research applies the Foundation SX family's silver-conductor AirString concepts, controlled dielectric construction and proprietary UEF Matrix Shield treatment to phono signals. The manufacturer describes extended high-voltage conditioning, intended to manage interference around the sensitive cartridge-level signal.

The manufacturer describes a graphene-associated UEF shielding treatment and extended high-voltage conditioning developed through work on its higher-end SRX series. These design choices are intended to control electrical interference, with listening results depending on the complete system.

Compatibility and choosing the right cable

Confirm cartridge type, tonearm output, connector orientation, phono input and any dedicated earth wire. XLR and DIN require correct pinout. Existing selectable lengths and connector prices should be used as displayed, rather than assuming a universal connection.

Common questions

Can an MM or MC cartridge be connected directly to an AUX input? No. An appropriate phono stage or built-in phono input is needed.
