QED Connect Range of Cables and Adaptors Announced
QED's Connect series of cables offers an expansive range of budget-friendly options for every AV eventuality.
QED's Connect range has you covered, no matter if you need a cable for your home cinema system, mobile device, or hi-fi. The British cable brand even states that any meaningful future connectivity requirement will also be incorporated into the 'living' QED Connect family.
Designed in the UK, the Connect cables sport a satin black finish wrapped in a soft but durable ultra-flexible PVC jacket that should not only prevent drawing unwanted attention to itself but also help deal with the rigours of family life.
The cables boast such features as custom-moulded 24K gold plated QED connectors and plugs for noise-free, long-life connectivity and 99.99% oxygen-free copper conductors for reliable signal transfer, states the brand. Furthermore, each QED Connect cable comes in various lengths and arrives in minimal, fully biodegradable packaging.
Prices start at just £7.95/ €9.95 for the adaptors such as the Connect Phono to 3.5mm Jack or Connect Phono (F-F) Adaptor. The Connect 3.5mm to 6.35 headphone jack adaptor in 24K gold plate costs £9.95/ €12.50.
QED's Connect stereo audio cable, which features HDPE dielectric for improved signal integrity, starts at £9.95/ €12.95 for a 0.75m length.
The Connect Speaker cable is wrapped in a 2.5mm OD PVC jacket for ultra-flexibility and employs 37 strand 99.99% Oxygen-free copper conductors for reliable signal transfer. A 6.0m length costs £24.95/ €31.95.
The QED Connect HDMI cable (high speed with Ethernet and fully compliant with HDMI 2.0) starts at just £14.95/ €18.95 for 1.5m.
The range also includes optical, subwoofer, and USB cables alongside an aerial cable and a whole host of adaptors and extension cables.
QED has been designing and engineering AV cables for almost five decades, and its QED 79 strand cable, released in 1976, is commonly noted as the world's first "specialist" speaker cable. So these prices are not to be sniffed at, especially from a company with such a history.
The QED Connect range will be available in the UK and Europe by the end of January 2022.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
