Know before you buy
This cable is designed for headphones using dual mini-XLR connectors. It is compatible with models from Audeze (LCD series, MM-500, LCD-GX), Meze (Elite, Empyrean), Sennheiser (HD 490 PRO), and ZMF (Aeolus, Caldera, Atrium, Vérité, Auteur).
A 4-pin balanced XLR connection provides a dedicated ground path for each channel, which helps reduce crosstalk and interference. This results in a cleaner, more precise soundstage compared to standard single-ended connections.
The 8-strand silver-plated copper design is engineered to minimize signal loss and resistance. This material choice helps maintain high-frequency clarity and improves the overall dynamic range of your audio.
At 1.5 meters (approximately 4.9 feet), this cable is ideal for desktop listening environments where your amplifier is within close proximity. It offers enough slack for comfortable movement without excessive cable clutter.
The Solna cable is crafted to be both durable and flexible. Its construction allows for easy handling and storage without the stiffness often found in thicker, high-end audio cables.
