Most professional audio components require signals that are transmitted over balanced connections using differential mode signaling to cancel out induced noise for crystal-clear audio. Differential mode signaling requires each wire to carry signals in opposite polarity to each other. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) will induce an equal noise voltage in each wire and the amplifier measuring the difference in voltage between the two signals will reject the noise that is identical on both wires.

Tributaries Series 4AB Balanced XLR Audio Cable
Experience pristine audio clarity with the Tributaries Series 4AB Balanced XLR Cable—meticulously hand-assembled in Orlando, Florida, using premium foreign and domestic components. Designed specifically for high-fidelity audio performance, this cable features heavy-gauge HC-OFC (High Conductivity Oxygen-Free Copper) solid-core conductors, precision-twisted for optimal balanced signal transmission. Dual shielding eliminates noise and interference, while the proprietary ground-first XLR connection reduces hum during setup. Finished with a durable, flexible PVC jacket wrapped in a stylish woven sleeve, the Series 4AB offers both top-tier sound quality and visual appeal, making it the ideal upgrade for any professional or enthusiast-grade audio system.
Specifications
Assembly: Hand-assembled in Orlando, Florida with foreign and domestic parts
Conductor Material: High Conductivity Oxygen-Free Copper (HC-OFC)
Gauge: Heavy solid 22AWG conductors
Design: Precision twisted pairs for true balanced signal transmission
Impedance Matching: Dedicated positive and negative conductors with equal impedance
Shielding: Dual-layer shielding for superior noise rejection
Dielectric: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) to reduce distortion and maintain flexibility
Q: Where are the Tributaries Series 4AB cables made? A: They are hand-assembled in Orlando, Florida using a mix of domestic and imported components.
Q: What type of copper is used in this cable? A: It uses High Conductivity Oxygen-Free Copper (HC-OFC), designed specifically for superior audio signal transfer.
Q: Why are solid-core conductors used instead of stranded? A: Solid-core conductors help eliminate grainy distortion that can occur with stranded wire, offering a cleaner signal.
Q: How does the cable reduce noise and hum? A: The cable features dual shielding to block interference and a forward-positioned ground pin that connects first to reduce hum during connection.
Q: What does the precision-twisted design do? A: The twisted-pair configuration maintains balanced impedance and reduces crosstalk, ensuring accurate signal delivery.
Q: Are the XLR connectors high quality? A: Yes, they are gold-plated solid-brass connectors for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Q: Is this cable flexible despite the solid conductors? A: Yes, LDPE insulation and a flexible PVC jacket ensure the cable remains pliable and easy to manage.
Q: Can this cable be used in a professional audio setup? A: Absolutely. Its precision construction, shielding, and premium components make it ideal for studio, stage, or high-end home audio systems.
