The ClearwayX uses 14 AWG multi-strand oxygen free copper conductors – big enough to bring control and definition to both book shelf and floor standing loud speakers. The performance has recently been significantly improved by changing the insulation from FEP to XLPE. Hence the new name. Choice of insulation has a profound effect on a speaker cable and contributes to its neutrality. The wrong choice of insulation can produce unwanted tonal colouration. The conductors are arranged in a twisted pair configuration before a soft PVC internal jacket is applied, this helps to minimise mechanical noise and also spaces the twin contra-wound foil shields in relation to the conductors. Shielding a speaker cable brings subtle nuances that make music come alive. ClearwayX can transform the performance of your system particularly when it comes to coherence and timing. It will let you further into your favourite music. Conductor High purity OFC Insulation XLPE Configuration Twisted pair Shielding Dual high density foil.

The Clearway interconnect uses the same ARAY conductor geometry that we first used on the Chord C-line, and we’ve upgraded all the materials, The ARAY geometry conductors are heavier gauge oxygen free copper, insulation has been upgraded to FEP and the shielding is a dual-layer counter-wound heavy gauge foil design. The improvements mean that the Clearway carries more musical detail. Dynamics are better, instruments and voices sound more realistic and there is better definition and clarity. The Clearway will let you see further into and get more involved with the music you listen to. Right now cables need to be better than ever, there are very affordable turn tables and digital players that deliver music with real coherence. The jump in performance over the past couple of years has been amazing, especially in relation to less expensive equipment. They need a new generation of cables, and those cables need to be able to carry a signal with the musical coherence that the new digital and analogue players are producing. The design of the Clearway Analogue cable means that we can adapt the ARAY conductor configuration to produce a particularly good XLR terminated cable. The design allows using identical conductors for the hot, cold and earth connections. This allows us to produce an exceptionally neutral and musically transparent Clearway Analogue XLR cable.

Now featuring improved XLPE insulation, it joins the award-winning line-up of Chord Company shielded speaker cables, including the acclaimed ClearwayX, ShawlineX and EpicX/XL. Our design objective was to produce a cable discreet enough for easy fitting and routing, with all the performance benefits that shielding can bring. C-screenX is just 9mm in diameter and flexible enough to route around corners with ease. It’s finished with a white outer jacket which protects the shielding and makes it virtually invisible against white skirting boards. C-screenX features multi-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors, insulated with XLPE and arranged in a twisted-pair configuration to reduce interference. The cable is then enclosed in a PVC casing that reduces mechanical noise and spaces the conductors correctly, relative to the twin-foil shielding. C-screenX has the same characteristics as our other shielded speaker cables: the ability to carry a musical signal with a genuine sense of musical coherence and involvement; shielded speaker cables bring real performance benefits to both hi-fi and home cinema systems, where interference can seriously affect sound quality. At this price per metre and with the unquestionable performance one might expect from a Chord Company cable, C-screenX is an ideal product for home cinema systems, where often complex cable-run requirements are the norm. It performs extremely well over longer runs and is easy to fit/route. Conductor High Purity OFC Insulation XLPE Configuration Twisted pair Shielding High density foil. PVC outer jacket.

Five decades of audio engineering pedigree QED has been designing and engineering class-leading and award-winning analogue and digital cables for five decades - and the Golden Anniversary XT is the latest demonstration of the company’s expertise. Quality Electronic Design (QED) was formed in 1973 by forward-thinking hi-fi enthusiasts, Bob Abraham and Ian Vine. The company is now considered the original cable brand, having released QED 79 Strand, widely recognised as the world’s first “specialist” loudspeaker cable. This product demonstrated how cables could have a tangible impact on audio performance. QED’s Genesis Report on loudspeaker cable design followed. This research established scientifically proven principles, which are as valid today as they were 28 years ago and informs all QED cable designs, including the pioneering X-Tube™ technology that enables precise and consistent signal delivery across the entire frequency range. December 2023 "The Golden Anniversary XT helps our reference system deliver high levels of clarity and dynamic subtlety...There is no doubt that the QED Golden Anniversary XT is an excellent performer. If your system merits a speaker cable at this level, put this one on your shortlist." What Hi-Fi?, 5 Stars October 2023 "(In conclusion) the Golden Anniversary XT cable delivers outstanding performances at a very reasonable cost." Hi-Fi Choice, 5 Stars, Recommended Award July 2023 "Their full-bodied balance should work brilliantly in many systems...In terms of performance, these cables get a lot right for the money…cables that will enhance your musical enjoyment without breaking the bank." The Ear, Best Buy Award July 2023 "The QED Golden Anniversary XT Loudspeaker Cables are a fantastic bargain for their asking price; the build quality, termination, and overall sound quality are very hard to fault." ecoustics, Editor's Choice Award June 2023 "They will grab as much detail from the music as the price point of these cables will allow. They will lower the noise and allow your hi-fi to shine. They also try their best to get out of the way, while giving the music itself a sense freedom but also a firm framework to work within…Again, it’s a trust thing. You can rely on the QED Golden Anniversary XT cables. " The Audiophile Man, Deeply Groovy Award June 2023 "I barely need to say that, compared to high-end cables costing 10x more, QED’s Golden Anniversary XT represents stunning value. It’s equally refreshing to discover a cable whose technical specification precisely matches that found in our independent testing. All of which contributes to the reassurance of a brand, and cable, offering no-nonsense sound and build quality at a great price. In the sparsely populated world of hi-fi bargains, this one is Golden! " Hi-Fi News, Editor's Choice Award Key features at a glance NEW X-Tube™ Plus technology combines X-Tube™ with Aircore™ to deliver an even, consistent performance across the entire audible frequency range. Ultra-pure Ohno Continuous Cast Copper and 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductor blend helps improve the signal path and signal retention. Low Loss Ultra-Uniform Dielectric insulation boosts efficiency and reduces signal loss. Airloc™ Forte banana plugs use a cold weld system for permanent attachment to the cable for improved contact area and reduced resistance. X-Tube™ Plus technologyQED’s innovative and proven X-Tube™ technology places a cable’s conductive material around a central hollow insulating rod - and the result is the elimination of the ‘skin effect’ that would otherwise force high-frequency analogue music signals to the outside of the conductor. And by combining X-Tube™ technology with its equally effective Aircore™ technology, QED also reduces the ‘proximity effect’ that can disrupt current distribution in a speaker cable. The result is X-Tube™ Plus: a ground-breaking cable geometry that ensures Golden Anniversary XT is a speaker cable with even, consistent performance across the entire audible frequency range. Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Cast Copper conductors Golden Anniversary XT uses a unique hybrid blend of 99.999% oxygen-free copper (‘OFC’) and Ultra-Pure Ohno Continuous Cast Copper (‘UP-OCC’) to give the improved signal path and outstanding signal retention of ultra-pure copper conductors - but at a fraction of the price. Thanks to class-leading research and engineering, QED Golden Anniversary XT is the most affordable and attainable speaker cable to exploit the advantages of the continuous-casting process, with this hybrid theoretically improving the path for transients and high frequency detail not available using just OFC alone. Low-Loss Ultra-Uniform Dielectric insulation If a speaker cable is to perform to its maximum potential, it’s important that the dielectric material which insulates and protects the central conductors of the cable does so efficiently. Golden Anniversary XT uses a specially developed and formulated low-density polyethylene (‘LDPE’), which works in unison with the cable’s X-Tube Plus configuration to deliver a speaker cable that has high-efficiency and a dissipation factor that is barely measurable. Airloc™ Forté banana plugs Airloc™ is a specially developed cold-weld system for permanently attaching QED Forté banana plugs to the company’s entire range of speaker cables, Golden Anniversary XT included. The most vulnerable area of the speaker cable chain is the physical interface between the cable and the speaker or amplifier to which it’s connected - without effective termination, oxidation can occur, degrading the cable’s performance. By using a cold weld crimp-type termination, Forté banana plugs offer maximum resistance to oxidation - for the lifetime of the cable - by effectively turning the cable and the plug into a single, unified object.

The challenge with producing the Shawline Analogue is that all Tuned ARAY cables require a high degree of precision that can only be achieved with painstaking hand assembly. The Shawline is built from FEP insulated silver-plated conductors and use a composite shielding material that works over a wide bandwidth and also reduces mechanical noise. The cable is assembled within a flexible plastic tube chosen to further reduce mechanical noise and a protective outer braid is fitted. Shawline Analogue RCA cables are turntable-ready as standard. RCA plugs are Chord VEE3 and are direct silver-plated to improve signal transfer. We can also terminate the Shawline Analogue with Din plugs and by adding extra conductors we can produce an outstandingly good Shawline XLR cable. The standard length is 1m and custom lengths are available to order.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS High Speed with Ethernet QED always connected the Audio Return Channel (ARC) even before it was a requirement of the HDMI organisation and since the introduction of the HDMI 1.4 Specification in 2009, we have focused only on manufacturing the highest standard ‘High Speed with Ethernet ‘cables. This policy has enabled us to immediately support the new HDMI 2.0 standard introduced a few years ago and certify our cables for 4K60 use. 4K60 With the introduction of the HDMI 2.0 standard in September 2013 the maximum data rate of the HDMI link increased from 10.2Gb/s to 18Gb/s. This was to accommodate the new uncompressed 4K 60Hz video standard (termed 4K60 4:4:4) which required a data rate of 16.06 Gb/s. In order to achieve this, the source and display equipment at each end of the cable have also to be 2.0 compliant. However the cabling physical layer remained unchanged and this is still the case for version 2.0b introduced in March 2016. HDR High Dynamic Range (HDR) support was also introduced with HDMI version 2.0. With HDR equipment there is a greater contrast ratio and more brightness steps to give a smother picture and more detail in both bright and shadowy areas. A related technology usually associated with HDR is Wide Color Gamut (WCG), which offers an expanded colour palette. eFLEX The new cable range has been designed to be as thin and flexible as possible. Gone are the days of large bulky HDMI cables and the new Performance range is characterized by a sleek black livery with a maximum diameter of just 6 mm to ensure that it is suitable for use with the slimmest TVs. In reducing the cable diameter we have not compromised on the purity of the conductors we use, which are still made from 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper. The new range comes in lengths 1.5m, 3.0m and 5.0m. Premium Cable Certification Program Recently, the HDMI.org has introduced a new Premium Cable Certification Program. This is not a new cable category and is in addition to the 2.0b specification which has not changed. Premium Certification offers a difficult to counterfeit guarantee label which promises the consumer a minimum standard of performance. In order to continue to provide our customers with a range of cables in which they can have the utmost confidence we are offering Premium Certification on the two most popular length cables – 1.5m and 3.0m. This is of course in addition to our usual QED Lifetime Guarantee. Consumers can scan the unique QR code on the Premium sticker to verify that the cable in their hand is a genuine QED cable, certified to full Premium High Speed 2.0b compliance including support for UHD 4K60, HDR and HDCP 2.2 content protection. QED Guarantee Like other electronic products QED active cables come with a one year QED Guarantee. Consumers can extend the guarantee period to two years by visiting www.qed.co.uk and registering the product at the time of purchase. What’s Special Supports uncompressed UHD 4K60 4:4:4 Supports HDR Active Filter TM Technology guarantees performance up to 15m Supports HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel Supports HDCP 2.2 Clearly labelled plugs to ensure correct installation. No external power supply required 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper conductors OVERALL PERFORMANCE eFlex Cordage Incorporates an Ultra Matte PVC jacket to give the cable ultimate feel and flexibility. Only available in matte black or white HDMI High Speed with Ethernet Applies to any HDMI cable that has been tested at an authorised test centre and has been found to pass the eye mask test at a combined data rate of 10.2Gb/s 340Mhz pixel clock. The cable must also have passed testing of the CEC and DDC connectivity and be compliant with HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel test procedure. 4K60 HDR With the introduction of the HDMI 2.0 standard in 2013 the maximum data rate of the HDMI link increased from 10.2Gb/s to 18Gb/s. This was to accommodate the new uncompressed 4K 60Hz video standard (termed 4K60 4:4:4). High Dynamic Range HDMI version 2.0b, launched in 2016, introduced High Dynamic Range (HDR) support for equipment offering greater contrast ratio and more brightness steps for a smoother picture with more detail in both bright and shadowy areas. A related technology usually associated with HDR is Wide Colour Gamut (WCG), which offers an expanded colour palette. Both technologies are supported by the new QED Performance Active HDMI cables.

The Project cable range has been optimised for use with turntables. The Connect-IT 5P CC tonearm cable is an electrically shielded cable made with pure Oxygen Free Copper (OFC) conductors with an additional layer of carbon fibre and is highly flexible with low capacitance and a perfect shield. All Pro-Ject cables have been developed to have low colouration and are handmade in Europe. State-of-the-Art components for leads, dielectric and plugs were chosen only after intense listening tests ruled them the best. Specific lengths were chosen because of their significant advantages when carrying audio signals. The 5P-CC cable is a great cable option for linking a turntable tonearm directly to a phono stage, on compliant turntables. It uses the standard 5-Pin DIN connection, and the cable is found as standard on various high-end turntables, such as the 6 Perspex and Xtension 10.

AWARDS AND REVIEWS What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision, October 2013 FEATURES AND BENEFITS AIRCORE TECHNOLOGY™ QED cables above 2.5mm2 cross sectional area utilize air core technology to obviate the skin effect by bundling several separately insulated smaller cores together to make up a larger CSA. If these conductors are arranged around a hollow central core of polyethylene the self inductance exhibited by the cable can be reduced to around half that predicted by calculation. RECOMMEND FOR USE WITH QED AIRLOCTMPLUGS QED developed AIRLOC a solder-free, airtight perfect fusion between the two metals of cable and plug. This ‘cold weld’ method allows the cable and plug to offer the optimum signal transfer and therefore, better sound quality. It also reduces contact resistance and ensures perfect long-term performance. COMPLEMENTARY CONDUCTOR GEOMETRY Utilizes conductors of different diameters to carry the same audio signal. This provides an alternative path for high frequency audio components which might otherwise become time smeared in a single audio pathway. SPECIFICATIONS Low density polyethylene dielectric Five 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper conductors 5 low density polyethylene filler rods OD 1.02mm AirCore™ Technology Jacket OD - 6.00mm Cross Sectional Area 3 mm2 Capacitance 33.4 pF/m Loop Inductance 0.61 µH/m Loop resistance 0.011 Ω/m Dissipation Factor@10 kHz: 0.0001 Nominal outside diameter 6.0 mm Wire gauge - 13 AWG WHAT THIS CABLE IS USED FOR CONNECT YOUR: Hi-fi Home theatre systems TO YOUR: Speakers CABLES MATTER Ruby Anniversary EVOLUTION is a completely new speaker cable from QED laboratories in celebration of FORTY years at the forefront of UK speaker cable design. It utilizes “Aircore Technology™” in a new miniature format to bring high end cable philosophies to the budget hi-fi market. It builds on the success of XT Evolution and Ruby Anniversary cables with which it shares a family heritage but now incorporates increased conductor spacing to further reduce losses and distortions caused by cable capacitance. This new geometry utilizes two conductors of different diameters to carry the same audio signal. This provides an alternative path for high frequency audio components which might otherwise become time smeared in a single audio pathway. Aircore Technology™ is completely effective in pushing the onset of the skin effect outside of the audio band for cables of large cross –sectional area. Because great sonic benefits are gained from Ruby Anniversary Evolution’s 3mm2 CSA it is essential that the skin effect is dealt with to avoid unwanted non –linearity in the cable’s frequency response (see Bucking the Skin Effect). Because Aircore Technology also reduces the self-inductance of the cable to around half that expected of parallel conductor geometry by calculation, spacing can be increased to reduce capacitance without the extra inductance generated by this change causing audible problems in the cable performance. The use of quality dielectrics coupled with low capacitance means that the rate of energy loss in the cable (its dissipation factor) is extremely low at 0.0001 – our lowest ever figure for a speaker cable. BUCKING THE SKIN EFFECT The graph shows how the resistance (non-reactive part of the impedance) of a speaker cable rises with increasing frequency. This is caused by the skin effect which forces the current to flow towards the outside of the conductors as frequency increases and this problem becomes more pronounced in cables which have a large cross sectional area. As there are great sonic benefits to be gained by increasing CSA (and lowering resistance) high end speaker cables tend to have larger conductors than cheaper ones. The skin effect problem therefore tends to affect high end cables more than thin and cheap ones. If nothing is done about this by careful changes in the cable geometry, the resistance at 20kHz can be much higher than that at dc. This is evidenced by the blue line which shows the behaviour of a typical twin conductor cable (such as cooker flex) with a comparable cross-sectional area to Ruby Anniversary. The blue cable shows an exponential increase in resistance above 4kHz so that within the audio spectrum its resistance increases by as much as 50%. Compare this to the Ruby Anniversary cable (red trace) - the Aircore™ technology has created an electrical field effect which allows the current to utilize the whole of the cross sectional area so that within the audio spectrum the resistance will not rise at all. Of course the skin effect will still come in to play even with this special cable design but the frequency at which it starts has been purposely pushed outside the audio spectrum. AIRLOC TECHNOLOGY AIRLOC is QED’s award winning loudspeaker cable termination method using specialist equipment. Put simply, this is the best termination method to use with QED loudspeaker cables. The science and engineering of loudspeaker cable doesn’t stop with the cable. To perform as the designer intended, the cable needs to have the very best termination, as sound quality can be adversely affected by using inferior connectors. QED developed AIRLOC a solder-free, airtight perfect fusion between the two metals of cable and plug. This ‘cold weld’ method allows the cable and plug to offer the optimum signal transfer and therefore, better sound quality. It also reduces contact resistance and ensures perfect long-term performance.
