Virtual Grounding technology
The Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable with Virtual Grounding technology provides extremely efficient noise-free signal transmission.
The ever-expanding wireless technologies, electromagnetic noise, and magnetic fields generated by home appliances and other electronic devices cause stray voltages that negatively affect signal clarity and sound reproduction. The Virtual Grounding technology of the Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable provides an independent virtual ground point that can effectively dissipate radio frequency / electromagnetic noise, ensuring signal clarity.
The result is natural sound, with more spatial details and an expansive sound stage.
Structure
Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable features balanced tri mono-core helix conductors, full-separate multi-purpose conductors, reduced resistance, and virtual grounding technology. The Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR model features the latest 3D vortex structure, ensuring full-symmetrical transverse positioning and minimizing the inductive and capacitive effects of the parallel conductor arrangement, which can negatively impact the accuracy of the signal.
The balanced tri mono-core helix-structured conductors are coated with a special antistatic film, synthetic polymer insulation, and a special high-density polyester damping outer casing. The dielectric constant of the high-density polyester layer is lower than that of commonly used Teflon insulation and provides adequate protection against environmental vibrations.
The new dual Nano Black Helix outer layer not only gives the Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable a special and unique look, but the special metallised polymer film coated with a 500-nanometer-thick metal layer prevents radio frequencies and electromagnetic interference from entering the cable’s internal structure. Similar metallised polymer films are used in NASA spacesuits to reflect radiation and it has been applied as an antistatic layer for insulating materials in aircraft.
In pure copper conductors, the fields generated by the current are effectively attenuated by internal separation, while the new, improved nano Black Helix layer is responsible for external electromagnetic and radio frequency noise protection, which together reduces the negative interaction between current in the conductor and insulation.
Connectors
The Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR model has high-quality, locking, selected, pure high-purity copper connectors.
The high-purity copper contacts provide a proper connection that has measurably better electrical parameters and clearer signal transmission such as gold plating.
Made by hand
Each Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable is assembled entirely by hand, from the design of the vortex structure to the solder-free installation of the connectors. Each Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable is made with high precision and attention to detail, so it takes approximately 3 hours to complete a 2-foot-long Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cable pair, including the final tests.
The Lightspeed Virtual Grounding XLR interconnect cables are placed in a special anti-static fabric bag after the last quality control.
Available lengths: 2 x 2ft/60cm, 2 x 4ft/120cm, 2 x 6ft/180cm and custom sizes.
