Viard Audio Design Silver HD12 XLR
Balanced XLR interconnect cable with multi-strand copper and silver conductors, fitted with professional gold-plated connectors.
Description
The Silver HD12 is a balanced interconnect cable in XLR/XLR format, designed to connect components in a hi-fi system requiring a high-level shielded connection. It belongs to Viard Audio Design's "Silver HD" range, recognisable by its white silicone sheathing.
The cable uses multi-strand conductors in Cu-VHQ copper and silver, combined with high-performance shielding via silver braiding. The XLR connectors, professional grade and AU-4G type, feature gold-plated contacts and a Teflon dielectric, while the shielding sleeves and rings are machined from the same AU-4G alloy. Electrically, the conductor-to-earth capacitance reaches 162 pF and the total inductance stands at 0.7 µH/m, two values that characterise the cable's behaviour on the connection.
The silicone sheath, with a diameter of 12 mm, offers excellent compliance as well as resistance to UV and chemical agents, allowing intensive use of the cable, including in configurations where it is handled or moved regularly.
This cable is aimed at enthusiasts wishing to equip a balanced connection between demanding audio components, in a system where connector quality and mechanical robustness of the cord are sought after.

What to check before buying used
On an interconnect cable like this one, attention should focus mainly on the XLR connectors: check that the gold-plated contacts show no signs of oxidation or play in the locking mechanism. It is also worth inspecting the silicone sheath along its entire length, looking for cuts, cracks or areas marked by repeated flexing, as well as checking the electrical continuity of the connection before use.
