One end terminates in a 4-pin XLR female connector to mate with a balanced headphone cable; the other splits into four gold-plated banana plugs (red for positive, black for negative, left and right channels) that connect to standard speaker binding posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuilt around Cardas's signature Parsec conductor geometry — Grade 1, 99.9999% (6N) oxygen-free copper in Litz construction with every strand individually insulated, and gauge sizes scaled to Golden Ratio proportions for natural harmonic balance — this cable delivers the warm midrange, extended bass and rich, non-fatiguing presentation that have made the Parsec series one of the most highly regarded value cables in high-end audio. At 1.5 metres it offers easy reach from amplifier to listening seat without compromise to signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e⚠ Important — please read before use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSpeaker amplifiers can deliver tens of watts into a headphone load, vastly more power than any headphone is designed to handle.
