Stealth Sextet V16 Standard Digital Cable

The Sextet is six digital cables in one: six complete Varidig cables wrapped around a braided Kevlar centre core and terminated with Stealth's own digital connectors. The parallel construction gives better low-level resolution and resonance control than a single run, while the Kevlar core makes it extremely robust and the RCA version weighs under 2 oz including connectors. V16 is the 2016 revision of the original Varidig Sextet.

This is the standard Sextet V16, without a tuning collar; apart from the collar it is identical to the Sextet V16-T.

Construction

• Six Varidig cables in parallel around a braided Kevlar centre core
• Each Varidig run: solid-core centre conductor and quad-layer, variable-pitch LITZ return
• Varidig principle: porous Teflon dielectric that is thicker in the middle of the cable than at the ends, with conductors that taper towards the terminations
• Holds the correct characteristic impedance across the whole cable including connectors (75 ohms S/PDIF, 110 ohms AES/EBU), greatly reducing signal reflections
• Twisting pitch varies along the length to break up internal resonances
• Machined Teflon termination cones beside the RCAs maintain the geometry, and so the impedance, right up to the connector
• Stealth custom connectors with Teflon dielectric and solid silver contacts

Specifications

• Type: digital audio interconnect
• S/PDIF (75 ohms): RCA-RCA, RCA-BNC or BNC-BNC
• AES/EBU (110 ohms): XLR-XLR
• BNC-BNC in 50 ohms on special request
• Hand-made, so other characteristic impedances are possible on request
