Silver Serpent XLR Cable Overview

Balanced audiophile XLR interconnects deliver silky-smooth audio through advanced precision conductors and low capacitance measurements. These cables feature a dual conductor, twisted pair configuration with 99.999% pure silver-coated conductors. The balanced lines are an optimal method for interconnecting sound systems, employing a shielded twisted pair to minimize hum. The signal travels over one wire and returns over another, allowing the shield to act solely as a protector against electromagnetic interference.

The technology behind balanced lines effectively cancels out induced noise, which commonly arises from EMI, RFI, and noisy ground references. The Silver Serpent XLR cables ensure equal impedance from both lines relative to the ground, thus maintaining uniform noise susceptibility. The balanced input stage amplifies only the difference between the wires, effectively filtering out common noise.

Silver is the superior conductor in the realm of audio cables. While gold and copper are good, silver reigns supreme. The Silver Serpent employ 99.999% pure silver in their construction, boasting conductivity that is 106% that of annealed copper. Despite higher material costs, the sonic benefits of silver are immediately felt. Additionally, the cables incorporate ultra-pure copper, adding warmth to the sound and enhancing the sonic detail provided by silver. This combination creates interconnects that offer excellent performance at a reasonable cost.
