PERFORMANCE

Every Great System is Connected

A modern hi-fi system can combine streaming, vinyl, CD, television and high-resolution digital audio, often across multiple devices and connection types. While the equipment tends to get most of the attention, every system ultimately relies on the connections between its components.

Performance is QED's complete family of analogue and digital cables, designed to help modern systems work together reliably and consistently. Built on more than five decades of specialist cable expertise, it combines proven engineering, long-term reliability and broad compatibility across the connections people use every day.

Where Good Systems Begin

Performance sits at the centre of the QED cable range. Above Connect and below Reference and Signature, it brings together specialist cable knowledge, proven engineering and broad system compatibility in one complete connectivity ecosystem. It's the range we'd recommend to most music lovers building, improving or expanding a system, providing a trusted solution for every major connection without making connectivity a hobby in its own right.

Designed for Real Systems

Most systems evolve over time as new sources, devices and ways of listening are added. Performance was created to simplify those connections with a complete ecosystem of speaker, analogue and digital cables designed to work together across modern hi-fi and AV systems.

Proven Engineering

Every cable in the Performance range is built around technologies developed to solve real-world challenges such as interference, signal loss, timing errors and long-term connection reliability. The aim is simple: help every part of your system perform as it should, so you can spend less time thinking about connectivity and more time enjoying music.

Built on Research

QED's approach to cable design is informed by decades of scientific investigation into how cables affect system performance. The Genesis Report remains one of the most influential pieces of research in QED's history, helping establish an evidence-led approach to cable engineering that continues to inform the products we design today.
