Kimber Kable Ascent Series Hero XLR Cables - 1m Pair

Free Shipping (Contiguous U.S. Only)

General:
Kimber Kable XLR cables are amongst our favorite we use in the shop. We use the Ascent Series Hero specifically because we find its price to performance ratio is good in Kimber's range.

They feature a high quality jacket plus they are internally braided for noise rejection. This pair is 1m in length and show minimal wear.

Tested and working perfectly. $140 discount compared to new

From Kimber Kable:
- Made up of four 19AWG conductors insulated with virgin FEP dielectric.
- The HERO's four wire quadratic braid provides wide bandwidth and noise reduction without the use of shielding.
- The four-wire braided geometry also produces ideal results when used in a balanced system with XLR connections for additional immunity to noise and signal degradation.
- A balance between low capacitance and low to moderate series induction make HERO an ideal solution for low-level signals i.e interconnects.

SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:
Some very small scratches on the XLR ends. Some tape at one of the female ends (removable) Good condition overall.

Testing Process:
Cables are generally pretty simple and do not require a great deal of testing. We do however perform a visual inspection of all of the connectors for damage or significant wear.

Most power and interconnect cables can be verified with a simple continuity test with a digital multimeter.

Some cables feature dielectric bias systems which are powered by external power supplies or batteries. These devices are checked for proper function where applicable.

We do not perform A/B comparisons of cables in real world conditions, and cannot offer objective observations in this regard.
