RCA jacks are small, round, and color-coded. Red is the right channel. White or black is the left. Most home audio gear uses RCA. Higher-end preamps and integrated amps may also have XLR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR jacks are larger, three-pin, and roughly cylindrical. They are often called \"balanced.\" If both your source and your amp use XLR, get the XLR Clear Beyond. If both use RCA, get the \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/cardas-clear-beyond-interconnect\"\u003eClear Beyond RCA\u003c\/a\u003e. XLR is best for runs over 3 feet because it rejects more noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne caveat:\u003c\/strong\u003e some gear has both RCA and XLR outputs, but only one is true balanced. The other is just derived from the balanced signal.

From a DAC to an amp. From a streamer to a preamp. The cable sends a small line-level signal between source and amplification. Every home audio system needs at least one pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the XLR (balanced) version of the Clear Beyond. XLR is a larger, three-pin connector found on flagship preamps and amps. The Clear Beyond is an inherently balanced design, so the XLR version uses all four conductors in their native configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clear Beyond is Cardas's ultimate flagship. Nothing sits above it in the Cardas interconnect line. It is one rung above the original Clear and is intended for the most demanding reference systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the Difference With Cardas Clear Beyond Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clear Beyond builds on 30+ years of Cardas cable design. The conductors use Grade 1 Ultra Pure copper at 99.9999% pure. Inside each Litz conductor, the strands are \u003cstrong\u003eultra fine — between 47 AWG and 39 AWG\u003c\/strong\u003e. Finer than the Clear and far finer than the rest of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strand size jumps follow the Golden Ratio. George Cardas earned two patents for this stranding back in the 1980s. The result is a conductor with no two strands of the same mass, which Cardas designed to cancel out small resonances that build up inside ordinary cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe geometry is a \u003cstrong\u003eStar-Quad 4-conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e design — four conductors instead of the Clear's three. The Star-Quad is inherently balanced, which gives Cardas more flexibility to fine-tune both RCA and XLR versions from the same internal cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach conductor sits in anti-static LDPE air tubes, bound with carbon-impregnated PTFE tape. A second layer of PTFE air tubes (scaled 1.618 times larger than the core tubes) suspends the shield away from the conductors. The shield is a composite of tinned copper and magnet wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XLR version uses a \u003cstrong\u003eredesigned Cardas CG-XLR\u003c\/strong\u003e connector — Cardas's own balanced fitting, redesigned to match the Clear Beyond's wide cable diameter. The RCA version uses a Cardas XRCA 13 adapter. Each plug is hand-soldered with Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCable OD is \u003cstrong\u003e0.511\" (12.98 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the thickest of any Cardas interconnect. The Clear Beyond is built in small quantities by Cardas's senior terminators. Each pair is made to order at the Bandon, Oregon factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Are the Clear Beyond's Matched Propagation Conductors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost cables are simply wires inside insulation. The wire and the insulation are not really designed to work together. Cardas had a different idea, which George Cardas patented in 2010 (US Patent 7,674,973).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCardas calls it Matched Propagation Conductors. The wire-winding pitch and the geometry of the strands are calculated based on the dielectric — the insulation around the conductor. The whole conductor is designed as one matched system, not two parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Cardas's design approach, not settled physics. Cardas says the Clear Beyond takes Matched Propagation further than any other cable they make, with extra attention paid to the braiding stage and the dielectric materials. Every cable in the Clear range uses Matched Propagation, but the Clear Beyond is the most refined version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Does the Clear Beyond Cable Belong in Your System?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Clear Beyond is built for the most demanding reference-level systems. Cardas calls it completely neutral, with unsurpassed speed and transparency. The cable was designed to bring noticeable improvements in spatial imaging, dynamics, and low-frequency impact while keeping the classic Cardas musicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e No-compromise reference systems; flagship DACs, streamers, preamps, and amplifiers; acoustically treated rooms; long runs between preamp and power amp where the Clear Beyond's heavier conductor really pays off; systems already wired with Cardas Clear that are ready to step up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot a fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Systems where the Clear or Clear Reflection already match the gear; rooms with significant acoustic problems (the Clear Beyond's resolution will reveal those problems); listeners who want a warm, forgiving cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifferent connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e If your gear uses RCA, see the \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/cardas-clear-beyond-interconnect\"\u003eCardas Clear Beyond RCA\u003c\/a\u003e sister page.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep down a rung?\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/cardas-clear-interconnect\"\u003eCardas Clear\u003c\/a\u003e sits below the Clear Beyond and is also reference-grade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the shortest cable that reaches your two pieces of gear, with a little slack.

On a true balanced (XLR) system, the XLR version uses all four conductors as designed. The RCA version uses Cardas's XRCA 13 adapter for single-ended gear. If both your components support XLR, that's the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMy equipment has both RCA and XLR outputs. Which should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the run is over 3 feet between your two components, XLR is generally the better pick — it rejects more noise. For short runs on the same shelf, RCA does just as well. Some gear is also \"true balanced\" only on the XLR side, so XLR may sound better there. Check your manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCardas built the Clear Beyond for both long and short runs. Use the shortest cable that reaches your two pieces of gear, with a little slack. Most rack systems do well with a 1-meter pair. Round up to the next length we stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Clear Beyond compare to the Cardas Clear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use Matched Propagation and Cardas Grade 1 Ultra Pure OFHC copper. The Clear Beyond adds finer Litz strands (47–39 AWG vs Clear's 41–39), a Star-Quad 4-conductor geometry (vs Clear's triad), and a thicker outer diameter for more conductor mass. Cardas calls it a step up in spatial imaging, dynamics, and bass impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan Cardas re-terminate or repair the Clear Beyond later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cardas offers re-termination and repair on their own cables, in their Oregon shop. They can change XLR plugs to RCA adapters, or cut a long pair into shorter ones. Pricing varies.
