About the Reference 3
The XLO Reference 3 series features cables expertly engineered to deliver exceptionally neutral sound, tight and powerful bass, and an engaging midrange with clean and detailed audio reproduction. These cables use UP-OCC (Ultra Pure Ohno Continuous Cast) laboratory-grade copper conductors with Integrated Field-Balanced™ surface/diving winding geometry to minimize frequency-related phase-shift, allowing better compatibility with a wide range of audio components. The cables have low capacitance aircraft-grade PTFE dielectric insulation and precision-machined connectors with 24K mil-spec gold-plated contacts to ensure minimal signal loss and distortion. The design reduces capacitive discharge effects that cause signal cancellations and smearing, resulting in clearer, more detailed sound. The connectors are hand-terminated with direct 24k gold plating without nickel substrate to avoid magnetic interference. XLO Reference 3 cables are designed to sound like "nothing at all," meaning they add no coloration to the audio signal, preserving the integrity of the music.
