Interconnect cables

Using high-quality interconnect cables will ensure that you get the best sound quality and maximum reliability from your X-Ref 12 DSP Powered Subwoofer. It is especially important to select good-quality well-shielded cables if you are using unbalanced cables, or very long cables, or have an especially noisy environment. (We do not, however, recommend or endorse fancy “boutique” audiophile cables.)

Emotiva Audio offers both balanced and unbalanced cables that combine solid engineering, premium build quality, excellent performance, and reasonable cost.

If you choose to use third-party cables, avoid those that have excessively thin and flexible insulation or that fail to provide full-coverage shielding. Cables with insufficient mechanical integrity may fail prematurely, and cables with poor shielding will be more subject to hum and noise.
