Van den Hul 3T The Valley Hybrid XLR to XLR Cable
The 3T The Valley Hybrid is the most cost effective model in the 3T range to feature balanced construction.
The two centre conductors are each made up of 21 x 150 micron 3T conductors and each coated with a Linear Structured Carbon (LSC) layer to improve the resolution and spatial properties of the interconnect.
In the balanced XLR version featured here, Van den Hul use the two conductors as signal leads and use the triple shielding for ground. If your equipment has true balanced circuitry and XLR connections then this cable offers superior noise rejection and therefore sound quality over the unbalanced RCA version.
Van den Hul 3T True Transmission Technology
Van den Hul are world leaders in cable design and use advanced material design and cutting edge technologies to deliver life-like sound. With their 3T range of cables, they use a proprietary amorphous alloy of metals and non-metals that together make a conductor with an almost ideal set of properties for Hi-Fi cables, found in no other brand; no oxidation or metal fatigue, extended strain relief, stable at extremely high as well as low temperatures, no electroplating chemicals involved, very flexible and an extremely long life-span.
3T Cables have a number of benefits which are unique due to the materials and construction design.
- No material fatigue problems to avoid dramatic sound-quality reductions over time.
- Never any surface or internal oxidation to avoid long-term sonic harshness.
- A very stable amorphous structure which is essential for high-quality live sound including stable high resolution on very low signal levels.
- Very flexible fibres which means no mechanical stress in the conductors in any situation.
- No chemical ageing which neatly avoids any decline in the sound quality over time.
- No mechanical ageing which means there will never be any deterioration of the transmission quality.
- Very low number of internal boundaries to avoid Cross Crystal Distortion (C.C.D.).
- The innovative 3T conductors produce the highest signal resolution possible.
Our Take On The Van den Hul 3T The Valley Hybrid
The Van den Hul 3T The Valley Hybrid XLR to XLR cable is the most affordable option in their 3T range, designed with balanced construction for superior sound quality. Its two centre conductors, made up of 21 x 150-micron 3T conductors, are coated with Linear Structured Carbon (LSC) to enhance resolution and spatial properties. With triple shielding used for grounding in the balanced XLR configuration, this cable provides excellent noise rejection, making it ideal for use with equipment featuring true balanced circuitry. Van den Hul's proprietary 3T technology, which includes a unique amorphous alloy, ensures long-lasting performance with no oxidation, material fatigue, or mechanical stress, offering stable, high-resolution sound over time.
