Sonnect SoundWire

OVERVIEW

The SoundWire by Sonnect is a first-of-its kind miniaturized USB-C output interface. 

As a DAC to XLR cable, the SoundWire seamlessly streams pristine 32 bit 192 kHz audio from your playback device directly to a mixing console with just one connection, and nothing in-between. No drivers needed, simply plug the SoundWire into your laptop or smartphone and select the SoundWire as an audio device. 

Custom transformers housed in the XLR connectors balance the signal, eliminating the need for DI boxes, and protect your playback device from accidental 48V activation. Shielded QuadCore wiring ensures exceptional audio quality and interference-rejection while minimizing cross-talk. A custom-made 24 Nylon twin-fiber braided sleeving strengthens the cable, protecting it from accidental tugging or pinches and the integrated self-tie system is permanently attached to the Y-split XLR end, keeping the SoundWire together when in-between use without the need for a clumsy cable tie or wasteful tape.
