Estimate Shipping
Van den Hul The Tide Hybrid is a flexible yet robust analogue interconnect cable available in both RCA and XLR terminations. It uses pure, large-crystal oxygen-free copper conductors with dense silver plating for clarity and longevity. With double hybrid shielding—braid and carbon-based—plus a Hulliflex outer jacket, it offers exceptional signal protection and mechanical durability. Designed for both balanced and unbalanced setups, it delivers clean sound for hi-fi, home cinema, pro audio, and instrument use.
Hybrid Conductor & Structured Shield for Clean Signal
The Tide Hybrid combines silver-plated oxygen-free copper conductors with Van den Hul’s Linear Structured Carbon layer for enhanced electrical performance. This hybrid design supports detailed signal transmission with minimal coloration. Double shielding (woven braid and carbon-treated layer) resists electromagnetic and RF interference. Whether partnered with balanced XLR gear or RCA stereo gear, the cable offers musical accuracy and background silence in demanding environments.
Ultra-Low Capacitance for Precise Audio Timing
At approximately 44 pF per meter, The Tide Hybrid has minimal capacitance between its conductors, ensuring excellent signal preservation. This low capacitance is especially helpful with high-impedance sources like phono stages, guitar pickups, or sensitive DAC outputs. The result is tighter bass, sharper transient definition, and cleaner stereo imaging. In system comparisons, listeners report a more focused soundstage and improved clarity over generic cabling—even at longer lengths.
