Featuring twice the number of pure silver AirString conductors found in the previous Foundation SX generation, advanced Graphene-enhanced shielding and SRX XL high-voltage conditioning, these cables are engineered for greater resolution, improved dynamics and natural tonal reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for connecting DACs, preamplifiers, streamers and other high-end audio components, Foundation XL incorporates a redesigned conductor geometry and shielding architecture. Synergistic Research developed the series to deliver a lower perceived noise floor, improved transient response and greater musical realism without introducing listening fatigue. \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePure Silver AirString Conductors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoundation XL uses 99.9999% pure monocrystalline silver AirString conductors, individually isolated within sealed air and Teflon dielectrics.
