Cable Length *

Select the desired length for your cable from the drop-down menu.

Burn-In *

We can burn-in your cable for up to 96 hours FREE of charge using our Nordost VIDAR cable burner. This is a £3000 machine that will optimise the performance of your cables from day one. This means the cables will be in optimum performance mode when you receive them, so you'll be able to make a performance assessment quickly rather than waiting 70 hours+ of usage. The result of conditioning cables with the Nordost VIDAR is, improved sound staging, increased detail, and an overall more musical presentation. Please Note: we are unable to burn-in cables with stripped bare ends, BFA-only plugs, or no plugs selected. (This does not apply to BFA/Banana plugs). Cables are burnt-in for the selected period AFTER your order has been processed. This service is offered at Future Shop's discretion and we cannot guarantee all burn-in requests are fully completed during busy periods.

Van Den Hul AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional 1 XLR to 1 XLR

 

The AES-EBU committee has set the characteristic impedance for professional balanced digital signal transmission at 110 Ohm. World-wide this typical value is accepted as the standard impedance for professional balanced digital audio transfer. To meet this requirement, already since 1990 there company has been designing high quality balanced 110 Ohm interface cables. The ultimate result is our AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional cable which provides a superior digital signal transmission quality. The major design criteria with this cable have been:

  • To provide a stable and precise 110 Ohm transmission line impedance.
  • To provide a very high frequency bandwidth as well as minimal signal attenuation.
  • To provide a very high shielding factor against interference due to external electromagnetic fields.
  • The prevention of material deterioration brought about by external factors, like polluted air or mechanical causes.

 

The AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional’s internal balanced construction contains two solid core centre conductors each consisting of a 0.75 mm solid core lead, made of high purity dense silver coated high purity matched crystal Oxygen Free Copper (OFC). Each lead exhibits a resistance of 4.0 Ohm/100 meter. The capacitance between both leads is very low: 47 pF/m. The two centre conductors’ respective red and transparent insulation is made of dense polyethylene, which together with their dense silver coating provides extra protection against external mechanical and corrosive aging factors. To provide a stable and precise 110 Ohm transmission line impedance, the centre conductors’ combined dense polyethylene insulation and mild 60 mm lay maintains a solid balanced line geometry. In addition, specially treated fibres are used as internal fillers. These act to further stabilise the geometry and furthermore render the cable insensitive to humidity penetration and any resulting impedance deviations or transmission losses.

Note: To maintain a constant 110 Ohm impedance and avoid signal reflections, the advised minimum value of bending radius for the AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional is 8.0 cm.

By maintaining a close tolerance 110 Ohm impedance, the AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional keeps interface induced jitter to a minimum. Sonically this results into a much cleaner reproduced analog signal in direct comparison to other AES-EBU standardised products in the same transmission link. Supporting accurate data transmission and low-jitter clock recovery, the AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional furthermore features a very high frequency bandwidth. As an example: The -3 dB bandwidth of a 10 m. run well exceeds 300 MHz.

The AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional’s cable screen consists of four layers: an aluminum tape beneath a braid of 120 high grade OFC wires with a dense pure silver coating, this beneath another aluminum tape and a Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated outer layer. The resistance of the combined screens is 0.81 Ohm/100 meter. This quadruple shielding provides supreme immunity against radio frequency and other electromagnetic interference, allowing trouble-free use of large lengths. Multiple lengths can be run in parallel without risk of mutual interference, even with other cabling (e.g. in cable conduits).

The AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional’s 8.0 mm. external diameter dark red outer jacket is made of our PVC and Halogen Free HULLIFLEX ® 4; this new rugged insulation material combines excellent mechanical robustness with an optimal protection against chemical (corrosive) attack from the outside world and ensures a very long lifespan. In addition, the use of gold-plated Neutrik special digital audio XLR connectors contributes to the good quality of this cable. The AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional has all the technology on board for exceptional performance without compromise and is especially suited for digital audio connections over greater distances (e.g. studio wiring). Providing the cleanest possible signal transport in all AES-EBU digital audio applications, the AES-EBU 110 Ohm Professional is the ultimate choice for the professional and critical audiophile.

Carbon as a conductor material

Linear Structured Carbon, or LSC, is Van den Hul's patented conductor technology, and it has its own cable line. It sits apart from copper and silver designs, which gives the carbon cables a different construction from most of the cables you may be comparing them with.

Fusion, hybrid and multi-metal conductors

The Fusion series uses Fusion Technology conductor material, and the Hybrid collection covers cables that combine materials. 3T, or True Transmission Technology, is a multi-metal conductor design. Van den Hul also lists Tunnel Technology among its cable technologies. Together these give you several constructions to choose from within the catalogue, not a single conductor type.

Cartridges as well as cables

Van den Hul also makes moving coil cartridges. The range includes The Colibri, The Condor, The Crimson, The Canary, The Grasshopper and the Frog series. A vinyl listener can therefore choose a cartridge and the cables to go with it from the same maker.

Why we stock Van den Hul

Van den Hul have used Linear Structured Carbon as a conductor since long before carbon became fashionable, which gives their cables a character you will not find in copper or silver designs. They were already well established in Europe when we took them on in 2007, and they remain one of the genuinely different voices we carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Van den Hul sets itself apart with innovative conductor materials like Linear Structured Carbon and proprietary ‘3T’ technology. These deliver low resistance, high signal integrity, and a natural, detailed sound signature that has earned global recognition among audiophiles.
Loading...
Van den Hul often labels some of its cables with the term “HYBRID,” which refers to their multi-material construction, typically combining different conductor types (e.g., LSC and metal layers) to enhance signal transmission and control electrical properties.
Loading...
Van den Hul recommends gently rotating the RCA plug when inserting it. Their connectors have multiple cuts in both the center pin and outer shell which act like tiny combs that clean the contact surfaces as you insert, helping maintain optimal signal integrity.
Loading...
Not at all. Van den Hul’s carbon conductors are purpose-driven: by aligning carbon fibers and applying energy during manufacturing (rather than bulk copper), they achieve smoother, more detailed sound, especially resolving low-level signals without the typical “crossover” distortion that metal conductors can introduce.
Loading...
In 1990, they made a bold, costly switch from PVC to halogen-free insulation to avoid harmful emissions like hydrochloric acid and dioxins during disposal, actively making products that are safer for both home use and the planet.
Loading...
Yes. Van den Hul cables are designed to improve sound quality across all setups, from stereo Hi-Fi systems to multi-channel home cinema. Their advanced shielding and conductor designs deliver better dynamics, lower noise, and more immersive sound, regardless of the application.
Loading...
Van den Hul cables use proprietary conductor materials and carbon‑based technologies designed to reduce noise and distortion.
Loading...
They are often described as smooth, natural, and detailed without sounding harsh or analytical.
Loading...
As with many of the speaker cables (unless stated), the Van Den Hul The Magnum MKII Hybrid Speaker Cable is ordered in singles. For a pair of speaker cables, order a quantity (QTY) of 2. This is so customers can order cables at varying lengths, or simply order one cable, for example, as a centre channel or as a replacement.
Loading...
Van den Hul's research led A.J. van den Hul to conclude that metal conductors, including copper and silver, can introduce a subtle form of high-frequency distortion caused by the skin effect and the way electrons interact with the conductor's grain boundaries. Carbon-based conductors behave differently, avoiding these issues. The result, in Van den Hul's cables, is often described as a smoother, more natural top end with less listening fatigue over long sessions.
Loading...
Van den Hul cables, like most high-quality speaker cables, do benefit from a run-in period. Because their construction differs from conventional metal cables, the run-in process can take a little longer than average. Many users report that 100 to 150 hours of use sees the cables settle fully. Future Shop offers a professional cable burn-in service if you would prefer to skip the waiting period.
