Interconnect cables
Using high-quality interconnect cables will ensure that you get the best sound quality
and maximum reliability from your X-Ref 10 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.
