Van Den Hul The Tide Analogue Interconnect Cable

The Tide Hybrid Cable Delivers Premium Audio Performance with Advanced Transmission Technology

The Tide Hybrid is an innovative, double-shielded twin-core audio interconnect cable designed for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality without breaking the bank. It offers balanced and unbalanced connectivity with highly flexible and durable construction, making it ideal for home audio setups, car hi-fi systems, and musical instrument connections. Built with True Transmission Technology and incorporating Linear Structured Carbon (LSC) shielding, The Tide Hybrid cable preserves signal integrity with maximum clarity. Its compatibility with RCA and XLR connections and adaptability to various audio settings sets it apart as a top choice for clean, undistorted audio.

Stranded Silver-Coated Copper Conductors Ensure Pure, Transparent Sound

The Tide Hybrid interconnect cable features stranded conductors made from highly pure, large-crystal oxygen-free copper (OFC), each densely coated in silver to ensure pristine audio reproduction. The silver coating not only enhances signal purity and clarity but also increases the cable’s durability, making it a reliable choice for demanding applications. The 24 AWG conductors reduce resistance and provide a highly transparent audio signal, ensuring that even the most subtle nuances of music are preserved.

Hybrid Double-Shield Design Blocks Interference for Noise-Free Performance

The Tide Hybrid cable’s double-shielded hybrid design includes a dense braid coupled with a Linear Structured Carbon-treated layer, working together to deliver superior interference protection. This advanced shielding effectively prevents signal degradation caused by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, making the Tide Hybrid ideal for environments with multiple electronic devices. Musicians, audio engineers, and audiophiles alike will appreciate the clarity and noise-free performance this shielding provides, especially in high-impedance applications such as electric guitar connections.

Hulliflex® Jacket for Enhanced Durability and Flexibility

Designed with an extra-thick, flexible Hulliflex® jacket in a distinctive orange-yellow hue, The Tide Hybrid cable is built to withstand repeated use and handle tough conditions without wear. This high-quality material enhances mechanical ruggedness while remaining easy to handle, ensuring that the cable maintains its flexibility and integrity over time. Whether used as a microphone cable, instrument cable, or in a car hi-fi setup, The Tide Hybrid cable’s robust construction protects its internal components and guarantees an extended lifespan.

Low Capacitance for Unaltered Sound Character

One of the key features of The Tide Hybrid cable is its impressively low conductor-to-conductor capacitance of only 44 pF/m. This characteristic is especially beneficial for applications with high-impedance signal sources, such as guitar pickups, as it reduces the load on the source and prevents alterations to the original sound character. The low capacitance ensures that signals are transmitted with minimal loss, resulting in audio that stays true to its source, ideal for both studio and live performance environments.

Versatile Audio Interconnect with RCA and XLR Options

Available in both RCA and XLR versions, The Tide Hybrid is a versatile audio interconnect suited for a wide array of equipment setups. Its adaptability as both a balanced and unbalanced interconnect means that it can easily integrate with professional audio systems, home stereo equipment, and car audio systems alike. Whether you need an audio interconnect for your turntable, amplifier, or live setup, the Tide Hybrid is an entry-level option that exceeds expectations in terms of both performance and build quality.
