Overview

Asterope’s Digital Audio Multi-Pair Suite is built for the uncompromising professional — offering a fully scalable family of balanced digital audio cable assemblies optimized for low-noise, high-reliability signal transmission. Precision-built in the U.S.A. to exceed AES/EBU 110Ω standards, these cables are engineered to perform under the demanding requirements of studios, live production, fixed installations, and broadcast environments. This suite includes multiple conductor gauges and pair configurations to accommodate any scale of deployment — from patch panels and OB trucks to high-channel-count rack systems and campus-wide A/V backbones.

Key Features (All Models)

• AES/EBU 110Ω Impedance Compliance
  Built to exceed industry standard for digital audio signal transmission, ensuring clean waveform delivery and accurate clock data.

• Shielded and Bonded Foil Design
  Full-coverage foil shields for each individual pair with optional overall braided shield — ensuring consistent crosstalk rejection and minimal EMI interference.

• Low Capacitance, High Flexibility
  Engineered for optimal audio performance with uniform dielectric spacing and precision twist ratios, preserving waveform shape across long distances.

• Numbered, Color-Coded Pairs
  Clear and durable labeling system for fast field identification and error-free installations.

• Made in the U.S.A.
  All assemblies are handcrafted and terminated in the U.S. using Asterope's proprietary manufacturing protocols for exceptional precision and reliability.
