FireBird XLR > XLR
FireBird is an analog interconnect from AudioQuest's flagship Mythical Creatures series, using solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors in a ZERO-Tech geometry designed to eliminate the characteristic-impedance-driving electrostatic field between the cable's positive and negative conductors. It combines a 72-volt Dielectric-Bias System (Dual-72V for XLR), FEP Air-Tube insulation, and a carbon/graphene resistive mesh-network for noise dissipation, targeting reference-level resolution and dynamics for demanding source-to-preamp or preamp-to-amp runs.
