Shunyata Research Theta Interconnect XLR 1M

Precision-Engineered Balanced Audio

The Shunyata Research Theta XLR interconnect brings carefully selected materials and precision manufacturing to the connection between your audio components. Designed for balanced XLR connections, it combines Ohno continuous-cast copper conductors, fluorocarbon insulation, and custom shielding in a cable built around Shunyata Research’s focus on signal resolution.

Careful Construction, From Conductor to Connector

Theta’s ultra-pure Ohno copper is drawn using heated molds to create a continuous crystalline structure. Shunyata’s PMZ (Precision Matched Impedance) manufacturing process closely controls the conductor surface, dielectric dimensions, and shield placement. To maintain these tight tolerances, the extrusion and braiding machines operate at one-quarter normal production speed.

Whether connecting a compatible DAC to a preamplifier or a preamplifier to a power amplifier, the Theta XLR offers a thoughtfully engineered link for a dedicated listening system.
