The Signature Audio 40: A Pioneering Interconnection by QED
The Signature Audio 40 is a revolutionary interconnection designed by QED, based on an entirely new concept. The construction of the cable is mainly aimed at low capacitance properties, which according to QED is essential for a high fidelity experience. This results in a tight sound while retaining the rhythm of the original music. The cable uses Complementary Conductor TechnologyTM, where two conductors of different diameters carry the same audio signal. This provides an alternate path for high-frequency audio components, keeping the final signal clean.
Improved Audio Performance with Cryogenic Treatment
A standout feature of the Signature Audio 40 is the application of cryogenic treatment. This process eliminates dislocations and fractures in the material's microstructure, resulting in improved audio reproduction. Instruments such as trumpets and other brass instruments reproduce more naturally after deep cryogenic treatment. Extensive listening tests show that the cryogenically treated cable is preferable to the same cable without treatment.
ANALOC TM Locking RCA Plugs for Enhanced Signal Integrity
The Signature Audio 40 uses the new QED AnalocTM plug, a low eddy current design with small high purity copper conductors instead of the usual brass body used in ordinary high quality plugs. This minimizes or eliminates the changing magnetic field in the conductor, which can affect the micro-timing of the audio signal. In addition, the plug features a superior hardness rhodium plating, adding to overall signal integrity.
Technical specifications
The Signature Audio 40 interconnection is characterized by high quality specifications. The cable contains Silver Plated 99.999% Oxygen Free Copper (SPOFC) conductors with a Teflon TM dielectric and an asymmetrical twisted pair geometry. It features a SPOFC shield that provides 100% electromagnetic screening and a Zn/Mn ferrite jacket. The capacitance value is 63pF/m, the inductance is 0.37uH/m and the resistance is 0.072 Ω/m. The Dissipation Factor is 0.0011. QED also offers a lifetime warranty on the Signature Audio 40.
In short, the Signature Audio 40 interconnection is a remarkable product from QED that uses innovative technologies to ensure high-quality sound reproduction. With an emphasis on low capacitance properties, the application of cryogenic treatment and the AnalocTM plug for improved signal integrity, this cable offers an unparalleled listening experience for music lovers and audiophiles.
