QED Performance XT25 – 8 Metres for Front Left, Right & Centre Speakers
The QED Performance XT25 speaker cable might just be the sweet spot in QED's cable range. It uses QED's LDPE low loss dielectric along with pure oxygen free copper and the company's proprietary X-Tube technology. This results in a cable with sensational levels of clarity and detail yet which is surprisingly affordable. This kind of transparency at anywhere near this price is truly difficult for rivals to match.
All QED cables are designed using the top down principle. XT25 represents the core musical performance trickled down from QED's money-no-object Supremus cable in a more affordable package. QED has won more What Hi-fi? Awards than any other single brand and with XT25 this heritage is delivered at a sensible price. Unlike most other manufacturers, QED offer an unlimited lifetime guarantee which means that if your cable ever fails to deliver to its full potential during its lifetime QED will replace it free of charge.
QED XT25 is the sort of speaker cable that can really open up a system. If you have a system that is already bright and detailed then this may not be the cable for you. But if you have a balanced, natural sounding system and are looking to eke out that extra level of clarity while keeping a balanced sound signature then the XT25 could absolutely do the trick. Its level of transparency is sure to win lots of fans and when its affordable price is taken into consideration it starts to look like something of a bargain. We cannot recommend this cable highly enough. Buy with confidence.
QED Profile 42 Strand – 20 Metres For Rear Surround Speakers
The speaker cable that started it all! Launched as QED's first ever speaker cable in 1975 and still in the range today. The Profile 42 Strand strands tall as superb value for money and 'The Go To' entry level speaker cable. An entry-level speaker cable that combines convenience and quality, the QED Profile 42 Strand/18 AWG is a real upgrade over bell-wire or basic 24 strand Figure 8 cable and brings class leading performance to your system.
Continually refined over the years, QED Profile 42 Strand is the perfect choice for use with high quality entry level audio components. QED 42 Strand uses 'figure 8' configuration which, combined with its great flexibility and rugged construction, makes it ideal for use in a wide variety of installations.
QED Performance - 3 Metre Subwoofer Cable
It is rare for any surround sound system to come supplied with speaker cables and even rarer for it to come with a Subwoofer cable. Yes, they come with a power cable, but you need to connect the subwoofer to the receiver with another RCA type cable which has been specially manufactured to just handle the low frequencies.
For subwoofer cable duties we have chosen QED's Performance Subwoofer cable. This offers a very high level of screening when compared to normal line-level interconnects which is vital in ensuring that AC mains hum is absent from this delicate signal.
This subwoofer cable is part of QED's multi-award winning Performance range, renowned for extraordinary performance and exceptional value. It features dual electro-static shielding for enhanced signal integrity and quasi-balanced twisted pair geometry to provide a pure, noise free experience. And the use of best-in-class 99.999% oxygen free copper conductors ensures your Performance subwoofer cable will stand the test of time to provide you with the QED experience for life. Feel every throbbing bass beat with the QED Performance Subwoofer cable.
What You Get In The Pack
This is a 5.1 Surround Cable Pack which includes speaker cable to connect from your home theatre receiver or amplifier to five speakers. There is 8 metres of QED Performance XT25 speaker cable for your three front speakers. This is usually split into two 3 metre cables for your Left & Right speakers and a 2 metre cable for your Centre speaker. There is also 20 metres of QED Profile 42 Strand speaker cable for your rear surround speakers. The speaker cables have no plugs attached. The cables can quite easily be stripped back to reveal the bare speaker wire and can then be used without plugs. If you would like to use plugs that can easily be fitted at home, we recommend the Taga Harmony Banana Plugs. If you want to fit plugs to each end of all the speaker cables you will need a total of 20 plugs, 10 red & 10 black.
A 3 metre QED Performance subwoofer cable is supplied, with the usual RCA plugs fitted to each end, to connect from a home theatre receiver or amplifier to a subwoofer.
This is just one example of a surround sound cable pack. If you need to connect more speakers or more subwoofers please get in contact with us and we can assemble a custom pack just for you.
