SPEAKER CABLES

QED was one of the first companies in the world to recognise the importance of loudspeaker cables and introduced the first 79 strand model in 1976. Our subsequent designs have been built upon our continuing research into this vital link in the hi-fi chain, winning more industry awards than any other brand and are supported by our lifetime guarantee.

  5. Performance XT25

    Performance XT25

    With XT25 we tackle the proximity effect and the skin effect by combining our existing Aircore™ and X-Tube™ Technologies into a new X-Tube™ variation. By forming the conductors into a tube-like shape with a hollow centre, current densities at higher frequencies are maintained because the electric field which contributes towards the skin effect acts towards the centre of the conductor from where the conductive material has been removed.
