It uses monocrystalline Silver Matrix conductors with a copper core and solid PTFE dielectric, rated to 12.4 GHz maximum frequency. Every cable uses SRX XL Matrix Shielding with Graphene and is treated with SRX XL High Voltage Conditioning, bringing Foundation XL's voicing closer to the flagship SRX XL line than its predecessor Foundation SX. Included Gold and Purple Carbon Tuning Discs let you voice the cable to your system, or run it clean.
