British audio specialist QED celebrates its 50th anniversary in style, with the introduction of its Golden Anniversary XT speaker and jumper cables.

When it comes to the demands of high-quality HDMI transmission, QED takes the appropriate steps to ensure that the technology they use delivers the same high standard of signal transfer that you expect at whatever length you need. All QED cables support the latest HDMI standard and this is backed up by Authorized Test Centre reports which even allow some of QED's shorter length cables to bear the Premium HDMI logo.

QED introduces its new Reference Ethernet cable, providing the most accurate and stable connection between your high-resolution digital audio streamer and local network. It has the ability to support 40G Ethernet and can accomodate 32bit/384 kHz hi-res PCM streams.

This package deal includes: 2m UK XT5 Power Cable, 3m XT40i Speaker Cable pair (with AIRLOC Banana Plugs) and FREE 1m Reference Audio 40. Available for a limited time only, while stocks last.

Please note: Future Shop is offering this package deal with the AIRLOC plugs on the XT40i, as opposed to the standard plastic plugs. 

If you're serious about your audio set-up and want to get the most out of your equipment, then the QED XT3 Mains Power Cable is an ideal option for you. Featuring a number of proprietary technologies, the XT3 cable is designed to reduce distortion and improve current flow in order to get the best sound out of your audio equipment.

Building on the success of the award-winning Performance 40, QED's Performance 40i contains two 99.999% OFC conductors of different diameters to accommodate high-frequency audio components and a foamed polyethylene dielectric. The result is remarkably well-defined sound at a very competitive price.

This single-minded determination to liberate the performance of hi-fi electronics of all kinds has resulted in XT5 - a mains cable that spotlights QED’s mastery of cable technology and sets entirely new standards of performance at the price.

The original QED Reference USB cable was immediately recognised as the outstanding USB cable for audio applications and has been ever since. But ever since the day the Reference USB took home its first Award, QED’s single-minded engineers have been developing this winning formula to deliver an even greater cable. Greater accuracy, greater flexibility, greater compatibility.

QED's Reference 40 builds on the multi-award winning audio 40 range of products, available with both XLR and RCA plugs.

Performance Audio 40i builds on the strengths of the original Performance Audio 40, and delivers an even more enjoyable and convincing sound - without affecting its prodigious value for money. Using the principles laid down in its industry-defining Genesis Report, as well as some startlingly original technology (including the ground-breaking Solid Complementary Conductors and Anamate plugs), QED has created an interconnect that puts as much distance between itself and its nominal competition as the original Performance Audio 40 did over six years ago.

XT25 Bi-Wire was designed as the natural complement to XT25, the 5-star-award winning*, entry-level X-Tube™ cable from QED. It incorporates four separate conductor bundles into a single, convenient X-Quad™ type geometry and is intended to present a much more enjoyable rendition of the musical performance when used in a bi-wire or bi-amped configuration.

XT40i's complimentary jumper cables offer a solid replacement to the standard metal plates/jumpers that come bundled with your speakers. By utilising jumpers of the same quality/construction as your speaker cable, you can improve the overall performance, dynamic range and sound staging of your hi-fi system.

The XT40i benefits from QED's innovative new Air Gap dielectric technology as an upgrade on the old XT40, resulting in much-enhanced performance for an already reputable cable. Expect clear articulation accompanied by strong mid-end and bass which results in a smooth, warm and detailed sound.

Please Note: the QED Airloc Rhodium Banana Plug are currently unavailable until further notice.

QED Supremus loudspeaker cable is the ultimate expression of sound born of pure science. Developed without compromise, it has been 21 years in the making.

All QED cables are designed using the top down principle. XT25 represents the core musical performance trickled down from our money-no-object Supremus cable in a more affordable package. QED has won more What Hi-fi? Awards than any other single brand and with XT25 this heritage is delivered at a sensible price.
