British Manufacturer of Audio and Video cables.
Since 1973, QED Audio Products has been a benchmark of British excellence in high-fidelity AV cables and accessories. Founded by Bob Abraham and Ian Vine, the brand revolutionized the industry with its iconic 79 Strand cable in 1976 and has continued to innovate in conductor design, cable geometry, and insulation technology ever since.
QED produces a comprehensive range of products, including speaker cables, RCA/XLR interconnects, HDMI cables, power cords, Ethernet cables for network audio, connectors, and accessories. Its philosophy blends British engineering precision and attention to detail with accessible pricing.
Among QED’s most notable technologies are Aircore™, X-Tube™, X-Tube Plus™, and the brand’s patented Airloc™ connectors, all designed to maximize signal transfer, minimize skin effect, and maintain exceptional sonic clarity — even across long cable runs.
Because of its continuous innovation, British build quality, and its commitment to designing cables that are more than just conductors — each product is engineered to optimize every link in the audio chain.
Yes, QED provides a manufacturer’s warranty for all its products and maintains a long-standing presence in the UK market, backed by the reliability of a registered British company.
Absolutely. In mid- to high-end systems, a well-designed cable can reduce signal loss, improve stereo separation, and enhance detail retrieval — provided it’s not the weakest link in the setup.
