PRODUCTS

• All Reference® Cables products are designed and manufactured by a team of expert technicians dedicated to finding the best solutions to meet the specific needs of both professionals and enthusiasts. They are suitable for all applications and work environments: from professional and home studios to broadcast and television facilities, from concerts to conferences, fixed or mobile installations, and any other professional application.

CHOICE

• Each model is designed to optimize both electrical and mechanical specifications for its intended application. This results in a comprehensive range of audio cables (microphone, instrument, speaker, AES/EBU, multicore, category, and power), as well as video and lighting cables.

FEATURES AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• The production process meets the stringent ISO 9002 quality standard. Every single item is tested both during and at the end of the production process. The properties of NPI and LSZH materials are tested and certified by IMQ.

OXYGEN-FREE

• Reference Cables uses only high-quality, oxygen-free and impurity-free copper conductors (99.97% to 99.99% purity) to ensure excellent signal transmission. The remarkable purity of the copper also allows for the creation of multi-stranded conductors composed of much thinner strands. This not only ensures better conductivity with less signal loss at higher frequencies, but also gives the cables greater flexibility, reliability, and durability.

INNOVATIVE MATERIALS

• Polyurethane improves manual cable management even in extreme conditions (-40°C to +80°C), providing flexibility, durability, high abrasion resistance, excellent resistance to mineral oils, and great mechanical reliability.

PROMOTING A “CABLE CULTURE”

Knowledge is the best tool for making the right choice. As Reference Laboratory, we introduced a cable guide to help identify the most important cable characteristics for each application and specific task. For years, we have been actively involved in the field, hosting seminars and workshops to support this initiative and help anyone who wants to learn more about the importance of cables make the best choice for their needs.
