Audio Art Cable IC-3SE (Xhadow XLR)

Introducing the IC-3SE! Cost No Object Performance, Audio Art Cable Price.

We had to do it. Our customers demanded it. The market demanded it.

Just think IC-3 on Steroids but in this case, it is perfectly legal! The idea to make a good thing even better came from a high end component designer who purchased a set of IC-3's from us, and liked the performance of the cable so much, he decided to push the envelope and experiment with upgrading the connectors & solder. We shared a long, interesting conversation about his results one afternoon. I hung up the phone and thought, hmmm is this is a new model waiting to happen? Mk II's and SE versions of components are staples of in the hi-fi audio industry, so why not do the same with a good cable design? After conducting my own experiments with many of the finest high-end plugs and solders on the market, and putting different prototypes in the hands of trusty beta testers, we settled on an IC-3SE model that produces an absolutely stunning level of performance, at an amazingly affordable price.

IC-3SE uses the same award winning core cable as IC-3, and is robustly upgraded the incomparable Sound Connections Xhadow RCA/XLR plugs & Cardas Cable's excellent Quad Eutectic Silver Solder for the joints. A black tech flex jacket and branded Audio Art heatshrink complete a classy, upscale look and feel. IC-3SE has a remarkably refined overall performance, offering subtle, but important across the board improvements on stock IC-3 in many key aspects, and competes very favorably with hi-end audio interconnects in the $500-$1,000 / meter range!

Audio Art Cablehas drawn comparisons to the performance of cables costing several times the price!
