Incorporates multiple types and layers of shielding materials to help minimize noise and reduce RFI/EMI interference. - Dedicated Damping Design
Uses various anti-vibration and damping materials to suppress unwanted vibration and improve mechanical isolation. - Length Options
1.0m standard length, with other lengths available upon request. - Audiophile-Grade XLR Connectors
Available with Viborg or Monosaudio pure copper, rhodium-plated XLR plugs.
Xtreme Series Design
The Xtreme Series retains the natural and musical sound characteristics of the Reference Series while taking the design further through additional fine-tuning and upgraded construction.
Additional conductors, enhanced shielding, improved damping, and audiophile-grade XLR connectors are incorporated to maximize the performance potential of the Duelund conductors.
The Xtreme Series represents Audiolund’s ultimate AES/EBU cable design, created for audiophiles who appreciate the importance of high-quality connectors and carefully optimized cable construction.
While we do not claim laboratory-certified impedance based on precision measurement equipment, the Xtreme Series AES/EBU Digital Cable has been extensively evaluated across several high-end transport/DAC systems, operating reliably without observed signal errors. In our listening comparisons, it has also performed competitively against established branded 110-ohm AES/EBU digital cables.
Humble Listening Impressions
The Audiolund AES/EBU Digital Cable Xtreme Series exhibits the distinctive sonic character often associated with Western Electric-inspired tinned-copper designs.
Its presentation is natural, detailed, smooth, and highly musical, with a quiet background and relaxed overall character. The Duelund conductors contribute a sense of naturalness and musical flow, making this cable particularly appealing to listeners who prioritize musicality over an overly analytical presentation.
For those seeking the full Duelund sonic character throughout their system, the Xtreme Series is our preferred AES/EBU digital cable and represents the highest level of Audiolund’s Duelund-based digital cable design.
Selecting the Right Audiolund Series
For simplified product selection:
- Xtreme Series – For enthusiasts who prefer the classic vintage Duelund/Western Electric sonic character.
- True Silver Series – For listeners seeking the purity, speed, and transparency of modern 5N OCC Silver.
- Xtreme Silver Series – For those who enjoy the Duelund/Western Electric signature with additional silver-derived refinement and detail.
- Ultimate Silver Series – For listeners who favor silver performance while retaining elements of the classic Duelund character.
- Flagship Series – For those seeking an equal balance of both sonic signatures.
XLR Plugs Orientations
Audiolund cables use substantial multi-conductor construction and are therefore relatively thick and firm. Although the cables can be bent into position, twisting the cable can be more difficult when the XLR connector orientation does not match the equipment layout.
We therefore recommend confirming the required XLR plug orientation before the cable is built.
The standard XLR orientation is suitable for most installations. However, the ideal orientation may vary depending on your equipment arrangement, for example:
- Top to bottom
- Left to right
- Right to left
For custom orientation, please provide a clear photograph of the rear of your equipment showing the XLR connectors and their orientation. This will allow us to determine the most suitable cable and connector alignment for your system.
Cable Run-In
Most Audiolund cables employ multi-core constructions with multiple conductor combinations, and therefore require an extended run-in period before reaching their intended performance.
OCC Silver conductors use relatively thick solid-core wire and typically require a longer run-in period than Duelund tinned copper, which uses multiple parallel thin strands.
General Run-In Guidelines
- Most Audiolund cables: approximately 100–200 hours
- Xtreme Series: approximately 200–400 hours
These figures should be regarded as general guidelines, as actual run-in time may vary depending on the cable design, system, and usage conditions.

Google Translate: This is the thickest thread I’ve used so far, super domineering, neutral in sound, nice and well received. Let’s see what happens after cooking for a while.
Very cost-effective wire.
