Au24 SX by Audience: A New Benchmark in Audiophile Cable Performance when released in 2016

The Audience Au24 SX series, first introduced in 2016, represents a landmark evolution in cable design: a dramatic leap forward that redefined what was possible in high-end audio transmission. Building upon the legacy of the revered Au24 line, Au24 SX cables deliver an extraordinary level of sonic transparency, dynamic realism, and tonal richness that must be heard to be believed.

From the very first listen, users have reported an immediate and unmistakable improvement in clarity, resolution, and authority. The SX series offers a more holographic soundstage, tighter bass, sweeter highs, and greater dynamic contrast than ever before, all while maintaining Audience’s signature musicality and coherence.

This next-generation performance is made possible by a trifecta of cutting-edge advancements:

• Ultra-pure OCC copper, now refined to six-nines purity (99.9999%), dramatically reduces signal distortion and improves conductivity.
• High-quality XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) dielectric, known for its ultra-low dielectric constant and minimal signal absorption, allows for enhanced timing, imaging, and tonal accuracy.
• Refined internal geometry, precisely engineered to lower eddy current resistance and maximize bandwidth and phase accuracy across the entire frequency range.

All Au24 SX cables undergo Audience’s exclusive CRYO² process, a two-stage cryogenic treatment performed in-house. First, each individual component including conductors, connectors, and dielectrics is treated. Then, after final assembly and quality testing, the entire cable is cryogenically treated again. This deep conditioning process realigns molecular structure, further improving signal integrity, harmonic resolution, and long-term stability.

The result? A cable that not only sounds more open and alive, but also more natural, cohesive, and emotionally engaging.

Built for Every Signal Path

The Au24 SX line includes a comprehensive range of cable types, all optimized for their specific application:

• RCA interconnects feature a proprietary solder-free connector design that eliminates signal degradation.
• XLR balanced cables are built from the ground up as a true differential design, not just modified single-ended wiring, ensuring perfect performance in balanced systems.
• Available in S/PDIF, AES/EBU, phono and headphone configurations, as well as a wide array of loudspeaker cable options to suit every system.

The Au24 SX speaker cables feature a heavier gauge than their Au24 SE predecessors, delivering greater dynamic headroom, fuller tonal body, and a more relaxed yet powerful presentation. Expect a richer palette of musical textures and more immersive soundfields.

The Audience Philosophy: Low Mass, High Integrity

As with all Audience cables, Au24 SX is designed with a low-mass, low-eddy-current philosophy. Audience avoids heavy jacketing and bulky connectors, as excess mass can store and smear energy, dulling transients and reducing tonal clarity. This minimalist, purpose-built approach preserves natural timing, timbre, and spatial cues, allowing your system to reveal the original performance as it was captured.

Key Highlights:

• Six-nines (99.9999%) ultra-pure OCC copper conductors
• Advanced XLPE insulation for ultra-low signal coloration
• Audience-exclusive CRYO² two-stage cryogenic treatment
• Proprietary solder-free RCA and speaker connectors
• True differential XLR design for balanced systems
• Low-mass, low-resistance construction preserves microdynamics and tonal honesty
• Available in interconnects, digital, phono, headphone, and speaker cable configurations

Recognition:

In November 2023, The Absolute Sound named the Audience Au24 SX line “Best Value in High-End Audio” for upper-end cables, a testament to the lasting impact and unmatched performance of this product nearly a decade after its debut.

Au24 SX isn’t just a step forward in the evolution of Audience cables—it’s a bold redefinition of what a reference-grade cable can be. For those seeking the most faithful reproduction of music with emotional impact and absolute precision, Au24 SX remains your signal path to audio truth.
