X-Shield® (Multi-Element Shielding System, patent RU No.124835U) as our outstanding EMI protection is a 3-layer interactive sandwich with two opposite X-Cross windings of heavy rolled copper foil, and a tightly woven BRC braid. A thin drain wire, integrated in the shield structure, keeps shield impedance constant and extensively low.
X-Shield® rejects most of emitted EMI across a wide frequency range from ELF to UHF and especially at LF, where industrial noise is most intensive. Moreover, it reduces cable’s self EM radiation. Due to a high mass, better vibration absorption and lower electro-dynamic noise are achieved, contributing to attainable dynamic range extension.
As a continuously evolving technology X-Shield® has undergone several serious upgrades and is currently utilized in our Classic, Reference & Ultimate cables. The materials and overlaying process have been methodically fine-tuned to reduce contact noise in the shield structure and achieve uniform shielding properties upon curving.
