Benchmark Studio&Stage™ XLR Cable for Digital Audio

Benchmark Studio&Stage™ Digital XLR Cable

Hand assembled in the USA with true silver solder

Benchmark Studio&Stage™ Digital XLR Cables combine the best cable, connectors, and construction techniques in order to offer performance that meets the demands of world-class studios, while providing the strength and reliability required for stage applications. Canare AES/EBU Digital Audio cables are handcrafted with Canare DA206 110-ohm cable and Neutrik premium black XLR connectors with gold contacts.

Applications

This cable is specially designed for use in all AES/EBU digital audio applications. The robust construction and large OD makes these cables an excellent choice for all digital applications in the field or in the studio. These 110-Ohm cables are optimized for digital connections, but may be also be used for analog connections. However, for the best performance in analog applications, we recommend our Studio&Stage™ Analog XLR Cables.

Use this cable when connecting AES digital inputs and outputs such as those found on some Benchmark A/D and D/A converters.
