But did you know shielding can negatively impact the signal when it is placed to close, as in 99% of all other cables?   Yes the shield can actually harm the signal and cause more deformation to the sound then the interference that it is suppose to be protecting it from. Our NV-series is shielded with a 12mm outer diameter, among the largest in the pro industry. Our distance from the conductor to shield is 3 times greater than other known  pro audio cables.  This is audible in the high frequencies not being compressed and rolled off.
