AudioQuest Black Beauty XLR Interconnect Cable

Black Beauty XLR features several AudioQuest design elements working together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise: Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Graphene/Carbon Mesh-Network noise-dissipation, 0.5% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires, Copper-Plated plug casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs. Black Beauty is built on ZERO-Tech geometry, eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable's high and low signal conductors for linear RF noise-dissipation and uncompressed transients — the same specification as Black Beauty RCA, in a balanced XLR format. This product is made to order at AudioQuest headquarters in Irvine, CA, with custom lengths and terminations available — expect moderately delayed fulfillment. As an authorized AudioQuest dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this cable to your balanced-input components.

Key Features

• Solid conductors, preventing strand interaction (a major source of dynamic distortion)
• Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), AudioQuest's best copper, minimizing grain-boundary distortion
• Graphene/Carbon Mesh-Network noise dissipation — alternating layers of graphene, carbon-loaded synthetics, and metal "shield the shield," minimizing RF noise before it reaches the ground-attached layer
• 0.5% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires
• ZERO-Tech geometry, eliminating the electrostatic field between high and low signal conductors, enabling linear RF noise dissipation and uncompressed transients
• Hard-Cell Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, minimizing energy absorption for clearer sound
• Direction-controlled internal conductors, reducing RF noise
• Copper-Plated plug casings, Hanging-Silver over Red Copper plugs
• Sold as a pair
• Made to order, with custom lengths and terminations available

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose XLR over RCA interconnects?
XLR (balanced) connections reject noise picked up along the cable run, making them the better choice for longer cable runs or noisy environments. Contact Vinyl Sound to confirm your components support balanced XLR inputs/outputs.

Is Black Beauty XLR the same as Black Beauty RCA?
Yes — identical conductor metal, geometry, insulation, and noise-dissipation technology, just terminated for balanced XLR connections instead of RCA. Contact Vinyl Sound to help you choose the right format for your system.
