Know before you buy
The 75 Ohm version is designed for S/PDIF connections using RCA or BNC connectors, while the 110 Ohm version is specifically engineered for AES/EBU digital signals using XLR connectors. It is important to choose the version that matches the digital output and input requirements of your specific audio components to maintain proper impedance.
Yes, the 75 Ohm version includes BNC to RCA adapters, allowing you to easily switch between connection types without needing a new cable. The 110 Ohm version utilizes high-quality Neutrik XLR connectors for a secure, professional-grade fit.
This proprietary design suspends the conductors in a way that minimizes contact with the insulation material. By reducing dielectric interference, it allows for a faster, cleaner signal transfer that preserves the detail and timing of high-resolution digital audio.
No, the Heimdall 2 Digital cable is specifically engineered for digital signal transmission. Its impedance characteristics and construction are optimized for digital data, and it will not perform as intended if used for analog interconnects.
The cable features silver-plated 99.9999% solid core oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors. These are insulated with Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP), a material chosen for its excellent dielectric properties and durability.
Yes, the cable features a high-density shield with 97% coverage. This provides robust protection against external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring a clean signal path for your digital audio.
