{"product_id":"viablue-nf-s6-air-xlr-kabel","title":"ViaBlue NF-S6 AIR XLR Cable, Balanced","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ViaBlue NF-S6 AIR XLR cable is the balanced reference of the NF range: an XLR connection with air as the dielectric, coupling two components with stable levels and virtually loss-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of plastic, there's air between the conductors on the NF-S6 AIR – via an Airpipe system with 24+1 air chambers, the best-sounding dielectric there is. Add to that 2× 6 finely silver-plated OFC copper strands, sixfold shielding and the solid T8 XL XLR connectors. Ready-made, built uncompromisingly for sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the NF-S6 AIR XLR?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're running a balanced system at reference level, the cable is no longer a side issue. With its air dielectric and sixfold shielding, the NF-S6 AIR brings exactly the calm and resolution that make a high-resolution system audible – even over longer runs between pre-amp and power amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum resolution, a deep black background and dynamics that open up without pushing. Details emerge effortlessly, the soundstage becomes large and stable – this is the top league of the NF range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the NF-S6 AIR XLR suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor high-quality systems with balanced XLR connections on a pre-\/power amp, DAC or active monitors, where the last bit counts. Plain talk: if you only have Cinch connections, go for the Cinch\/RCA version – XLR only helps if both devices support it. And if you're running an entry-level system, an NF-S1 serves you more honestly; the NF-S6 AIR only shows its strengths on a correspondingly refined system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NF-S6 AIR is ViaBlue's uncompromising XLR reference – air dielectric, sixfold shielded, for systems that can deliver on it. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we'll help you find the right length and honestly clarify whether your setup really brings out this level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: balanced interconnect cable (XLR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDielectric: air (Airpipe system, 24+1 airpipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner conductor: 2× 6 finely silver-plated OFC copper strands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShielding: sixfold (3 alu-PET foil shields + 3 OFC braided shields)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: ViaBlue T8 XLR XL (male\/female), 24kt gold-plated contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: Cobra (70 \u0026amp; 150 cm) or Black (70 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLengths: 70, 150 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: 1 pair of XLR cables, ready-made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the air dielectric do for the NF-S6 AIR?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAir is the best-sounding dielectric – it slows down and colours the signal the least. ViaBlue routes the conductors through an Airpipe system with 24+1 air chambers, so they're almost entirely surrounded by air. This brings more resolution and a calmer background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does XLR offer over Cinch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eXLR transmits in a balanced way: interference that affects both conductors equally cancels out at the input. This pays off especially with longer runs or in electrically noisy environments. The prerequisite is balanced inputs and outputs on both devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat length should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs short as possible, as long as necessary. Measure the actual distance between the devices and allow a bit of extra for strain relief. The NF-S6 AIR is available here in 70 and 150 cm – for longer distances, we're happy to advise you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Cobra or Black better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's purely aesthetic. The braided sleeve differs only in colour; construction and sound are identical. Black is available for the NF-S6 AIR XLR in 70 cm, Cobra in both lengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the NF-S6 AIR XLR from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause we know from years of experience when a reference cable really pays off and when an NF-S1 is enough.
