Nordost White Lightning 3 XLR: Technical specifications

The Nordost White Lightning 3 XLR modulation cable consists of four 0.13 mm² OFC conductors which have been silver-plated. To increase shielding, the conductors are arranged in twisted pairs. Each conductor is insulated with high-quality extruded FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) before being covered with two shielding screens. This construction significantly reduces noise and maintains the integrity of the audio signal. Connection is via excellent Neutrik XLR sockets.

The Nordost White Lightning 3 XLR offers a significant improvement in dynamics and definition. It reveals with ease all the instruments placed in the background that often remain in the shadows. It also offers a more transparent and refined reproduction, with no coloration and excellent balance. The soundstage is also very realistic and in line with what you would expect from a cable in this range.
