Cardas Audio Iridium Interconnect Cable - 6.0 Meter - XLR to XLR

Recommended by The Absolute Sound's Buyers Guide to Cables, Power Products, Accessories & Music

Natural Treble, Smooth Midrange, and Quick Bass Response

Iridium Interconnect replaces Microtwin in the Cardas Audio product line. Combining a star quad arrangement with Cardas Audio's proven Golden Ratio copper conductors, the Cardas Iridium interconnect achieves the perfect balance of detail and warmth. Natural treble is blended with a smooth midrange and quick bass response for a very musical interconnect, in both singled ended and balanced configurations.

The November 2018 issue of The Absolute Sound magazine praises Cardas Iridium, noting that the cable "leaned toward being even in sonic distribution with a slightly warmer-than-neutral presentation."

"Warmth and Musicality"

"The Iridium cables continue the company’s tradition of warmth and musicality—and compared with their predecessors, the Twinlink speaker wire and Microtwin interconnect, the Iridium cables are said to offer improved imaging. Iridium wires also feature upgraded terminations, and soft rubber jackets for improved look and feel," notes The Absolute Sound's 2016 Buyers Guide to Cables, Power Products, Accessories & Music.

Sophisticated Conductors and Geometry

With an outer diameter of 0.300", Iridium interconnect uses 4 x 24.5 AWG premium Cardas Copper conductors in a Star-Quad four conductor geometry with PFA and carbon-impregnated tape dielectric. Its gauge sizes are scaled to Golden Ratio proportions.

Iridium is available as an unbalanced cable terminated with Cardas GRMO RCA plugs or as a balanced cable terminated with Neutrik XLRs. It is finished in an ultra soft extruded TPR jacket

2019 Editors' Choice Award – The Absolute Sound

"Iridium interconnect/speaker combination leaned toward being even in sonic distribution with a slightly warmer-than neutral presentation with no enhancements and slight reduction in low-level resolution and bass dynamics. IF your system could use a bit fuller sound with additional bass authority in the power range and some reduction of upper-midrange and lower treble energy, the Cardas Audio Iridium fits the bill."
