AudioQuest ThunderBird XLR Braid Audio Interconnect Cable - Pair

The AudioQuest ThunderBird XLR Interconnect Cable brings the same advanced technologies found in the ThunderBird RCA version into a fully balanced XLR format. It is engineered to maintain signal purity, suppress noise, and preserve dynamic detail in pro / high-end hi-fi systems using balanced connections.

Solid PSC⁺ Conductors & Directional Design

At its core, ThunderBird XLR uses Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC⁺) conductors, which help reduce distortion from grain boundaries and eliminate internal strand interactions. Furthermore, the conductors are direction-controlled, meaning induced RF noise is guided back toward the source rather than being injected into your system’s more sensitive ends.

Level-6 Noise Dissipation & ZERO-Tech Architecture

To manage RF and EMI interference, the cable includes a Level-6 Linear Noise Dissipation system, combining a carbon/graphene mesh network, direction-controlled silver drain wires, and copper-plated, RF-draining connector barrels. Its ZERO-Tech design eliminates the electrostatic field between signal conductors, enabling linear RF noise dissipation (octave-independent) and uncompressed transients.

Insulation & Dielectric Control

The ThunderBird XLR employs FEP Air-Tube insulation, which maximizes the amount of air surrounding the conductors to reduce dielectric absorption and preserve fast transient behavior. This helps maintain fidelity in musical attacks and decays.
