Audience Au24 SX AES/EBU Digital Cable

AES/EBU is the balanced form of digital audio, and on many high-end DACs it's the best-sounding digital input. The Au24 SX AES/EBU gives that connection Audience's acclaimed Au24 SX design.

Balanced digital with the Au24 SX's natural voice.

The Design

Au24 SX was Audience's flagship before frontRow, and it remains one of the most acclaimed cables the company has built. Every conductor is 99.9999% pure (6N) OCC copper, insulated in high-grade cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and laid in Audience's Perfect Lay geometry: fine strands laid flat, side by side, rather than braided or twisted. Audience keeps the mass of each conductor and the jacketing to a minimum, a low-mass approach designed to reduce the eddy currents that smear transients and dull fine detail. Every Au24 SX cable is double cryogenically treated in Audience's own lab and handmade in San Marcos, California.

How It Sounds

Audience describes the Au24 SX as more transparent and dynamic than the cables before it, with greater weight and authority and a richer tonal palette. Listeners most often call it natural, and reviewers agree: The Absolute Sound heard a fluid balance of ease, articulation, and immersiveness.

Where It Fits

Use it between any source and DAC with AES/EBU connections. It sits between the Studio ONE and frontRow AES/EBU cables in Audience's lineup.

Press Recognition

  • The Au24 SX series earned wide acclaim. The Absolute Sound’s Neil Gader (Issue 269, January 2017) called the Au24 SX cables superb, with a fluid, natural balance of ease, articulation, and immersiveness. Reviews of this model are on the way, and we’ll add them here as they’re published.
