Offered is „SQM Stereo XLR 0,5 Meter“ by Grimm Audio as second-hand device from the category „XLR-Cable (Analog)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4840499396 ends on 26.12.2026 at 13:18 o'clock.
The SQM is a notably serious, measurement-led balanced interconnect rather than an ordinary cable. At €480, this 0.5-metre stereo XLR pair is a strong deal: it sits well below the €3,404 25th-percentile figure from 17 comparable listings, with a €6,283 median and €8,005 75th percentile. The comparable set appears broad, but even allowing for that, the asking price is unusually attractive.
Its appeal is Grimm’s careful Star-Quad construction, tightly woven shielding, carbon-doped sheathing to reduce microphony, and Neutrik XLR termination—sensible engineering for low noise and clean balanced connections. The short length limits flexibility, so confirm that both cables are included and that 0.5 metres suits the rack layout. If condition really is good and the connectors are clean, this looks like a buying opportunity rather than merely a fair-price listing.

Founded in 2004 in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, Grimm Audio emerged from the expertise of audio pioneers Eelco Grimm, Bruno Putzeys, Guido Tent, and Peter van Willenswaard. Drawing on their backgrounds at Philips and Hypex—where they advanced Class D amplification and precision electronics—the founders merged scientific rigor in acoustics, physics, and electronics with decades of critical listening. This heritage birthed early innovations like the AD1 1-bit A/D converter for DSD recording, the CC1 master clock, and TPR studio cables, establishing Grimm as a bridge between professional engineering and audiophile passion.
Grimm Audio specializes in high-end active loudspeakers, digital music players, and streaming DACs, alongside pro audio tools. Standouts include the LS1 series playback systems, delivering coherent full-range sound from 20Hz to highs with integrated amplification; the MU1 and MU2, ultra-low-jitter sources supporting Roon, UPnP, and AES for pristine digital retrieval; and legacy converters and clocks used in elite studios like Wisseloord and Channel Classics. Their holistic approach optimizes the entire audio chain for transparency.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-high-end market, Grimm commands reverence among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts and top recording professionals for perceptual neutrality and emotional fidelity. Acclaimed as "the world’s best complete audio system" by critics, their gear sets benchmarks in studios worldwide and luxury homes, prioritizing uncompromised musical truth over compromise.
