Offered is „Reference NF 2404 AIR - Phonokabelset, (Sym XLR/ SME) L = 1,5m“ by Inakustik as new device from the category „Phono tonearm cable“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4066651755 ends on 10.11.2026 at 06:31 o'clock.
At €1,348, this Inakustik Reference NF 2404 AIR Sym. Phonokabelset (SME/XLR, 1.5m) is a strong bargain compared to the typical used market, sitting well below the €1,249 25th percentile of recent EUR comparables. While new retail for similar 2404 Air interconnects often starts around €1,200–€1,300 for RCA versions and climbs higher for balanced XLR, this listing’s price is remarkably low even against new, especially for the premium SME/XLR terminated 1.5m symmetric set.
This cable is a top-tier phonokabel in the Reference AIR line, handcrafted with pure silver conductors and air-insulated geometry to minimize loss and distortion, earning it 1st place in AUDIO’s readers’ poll for NF cables. The SME/XLR termination adds significant value for high-end preamp or DAC integration, and at this price, you’re getting a rare, enthusiast-grade interconnect that typically trades much higher used—making it an excellent opportunity for anyone upgrading their analog or front-end chain.

Founded in 1946 by Alastair Robertson-Aikman as The Scale Model Equipment Company Limited in England, SME initially produced scale models and precision parts for engineering trades before pivoting in the 1950s to high-precision components for aircraft instruments and business machines. By 1961, it had relocated to a dedicated factory in Steyning, Sussex, and fully embraced audio engineering, developing its first tonearm for personal use. Now marking over 70 years of excellence, SME was acquired in 2016 by industrialist Ajay Shirke's Cadence Group, ensuring continued innovation while honoring its heritage, including recent moves like reviving the Garrard turntable brand.
SME specializes exclusively in precision turntables and tonearms, offering models like the acclaimed Model 30 series alongside a range of twelve standard arms and custom variants. With over one million tonearms sold worldwide, the company avoids diversification into amplifiers, speakers, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on unmatched engineering for vinyl playback.
Regarded as the gold standard in high-end analog audio, SME commands a niche position among discerning audiophiles for its Steyning facility—the world's largest and best-equipped for precision pick-up arms and turntables. Synonymous with industry-leading build quality and sonic refinement, it appeals to serious collectors and professionals who prioritize mechanical perfection over mass-market compromises.
