PRODUCTS

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

CHOICE

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

FEATURES AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• The production process meets the high quality standard ISO 9002. Each individual item is tested 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- and impurity-free copper conductors (99.97 to 99.99% purity) for excellent signal transmission. The remarkable purity of the copper also allows for the creation of multi-stranded conductors made up of much thinner capillaries, which, in addition to allowing for better conductivity with less signal loss at higher frequencies, give the cables greater flexibility, reliability, and durability.

INNOVATIVE MATERIALS

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

BRINGING THE USER TO A “CABLE CULTURE”

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