Volvox excelsus direct S XLR 1m

The Vovox excelsus direct S XLR 1m is a premium balanced interconnect intended for connecting high-resolution components in hi‑fi and professional studio systems. With a length of 1 meter, it is ideal for short, low-loss connections between preamplifiers, DACs, amplifiers and active monitors.

Technical characteristics

• Type: Balanced analog XLR interconnect (3-pin, standard pinout: 1-ground, 2-hot, 3-cold)
• Length: 1 m
• Conductors: high-purity copper (solid-core concept), minimal series resistance for stable low-level signal transmission
• Geometry: Symmetrical layout with mechanical damping to reduce microphonics and capacitance
• Dielectric/jacket: low dielectric loss materials; high flexibility and mechanical stability
• Protection against interference: optimized resistance to RF/EMI (balanced transmission ensures high immunity to noise)
• Connectors: high-precision XLR connectors (Neutrik type) with gold-plated contacts and reliable mechanical cable relief
• Electrical parameters: the manufacturer does not publish detailed values; the construction is low-capacitive and low-inductive, suitable for transparent transmission of an analog line signal
• Compliance: RoHS

Sound characteristics

• Neutral and transparent tonality without artificially emphasizing the range
• Very low noise and clean background, with a stable stereo image and precise focus
• Well-defined bass, articulate midrange and clear high frequencies with natural decay
• Controlled dynamics and good micro-dynamics in complex arrangements

Compatibility and application

• Hi‑Fi: DAC ↔ Preamp, Preamp ↔ Amplifier, Streamer ↔ DAC, Balanced Component Inputs/Outputs
• Pro audio: audio interfaces, mixers, preamps and active monitors (line level)
• Note: primarily for analog balanced connections; for AES/EBU digital (110 Ω) use a dedicated cable if explicitly requested

Condition and maintenance

Second-hand, perfectly preserved. Connectors clean and mechanically sound; no insulation damage or signs of overuse. No special service history is required for this type of product; it is recommended to periodically clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol and store them in a dry environment.
