Xhadow Reference XLR Plugs
The Xhadow Precision Reference XLR is easily the finest XLR in the world.
The Xhadow Precision XLR has been designed with respect for the audiophile perspective: Precision, purity, simplicity, and elegance.
Regarding the manufacture - the main barrel and rear-nut are machined from pure aluminium rod-stock and hard anodized in "Xhadow Gray" for a durable and non-conductive finish. This assembly houses an internal strain relief machined from brass.
Into this barrel assembly fits the plug part:
An outer passive shell machined from brass and mirror chrome-plated holds a machined Teflon dielectric, in which the silver-plated pure OFC copper machined contacts are held. Each contact allows the termination of the wire to be an airtight joint via set-screw or a solder joint, or both; giving the cable designer and manufacturer or DIY'er connection choices and great ease of assembly. Each connection can receive a 1.6mm diameter wire. The shell is engraved "XHADOW" along the top arc of the shell's front border indicating the top orientation.
The fit of these connectors is smooth but very strong, with a tremendous amount of contact pressure to ensure perfect and consistent signal passage with a minimum of contact resistance. The plugs can receive cables of up to 9.5mm diameter.
Finally ... an XLR that meets exacting audiophile standards!
