Gotham 10601 GAC-2 AES Low loss flexible AES cable

Digital Audio signals in the AES/EBU format require an interconnect cable with the correct construction. A mismatch of the impedance, a too small conductor diameter (skin-effect) or an impedance change in a cable run will cause digital errors (jitter) which are causing costly problems on your digital recording

We have found the stability of the impedance the most critical point on an AES/EBU cable and our solution is the Star-Quad twisting of the two conductors with two PE-strands to hold the conductors always in place, even when the cable is being bent. Together with our unique double Reussen shield we have the perfect signal cable for AES/EBU Digital Audio without compromises in regard to flexibility and handling.

The GAC-2 AES is a low loss, flexible AES/EBU cable optimized for use with XLR-connectors or installations with
long cable runs (>100m).
