Tellurium Q Silver III
XLR cable
This is the very first time Tellurium Q have offered an XLR at the entry Silver level but the speaker cable was so good they felt they had to and are very pleased that they did.
These Silver III interconnects lean into the family traits of being detailed and revealing without harshness.
The Tellurium Q Silver III XLR cable is a premium balanced interconnect designed for Hi-Fi systems seeking greater clarity, transparency, and musical engagement.
As the first XLR model in Tellurium Q’s entry-level Silver range, it carries the company’s signature “detailed yet non-harsh” sound profile.
Reviewers describe the cable as highly revealing, with a notably low noise floor, sharp image focus, and strong separation between instruments, while still maintaining a smooth and natural presentation.
High frequencies are extended and precise without sounding aggressive, and bass performance is praised for control and definition rather than sheer weight.
Critics also note its vivid dynamics, open soundstage, and coherent tonal balance, making vocals and acoustic instruments particularly expressive.
Built in Tellurium Q’s slim ribbon style, the Silver III XLR is aimed at listeners wanting more insight and refinement from already well-balanced audio systems without sacrificing musicality or long-term listening comfort.
Silver Family
Totally uncoloured, acting as a wide open channel sounding unforced, vivid and dynamic with phenomenal resolution, transparency and natural tonal colours.
All this while sounding extremely analog and coherent, from the exceptional top end extension to bottom with finely detailed, separated bass notes.

Came From
People have been asking how Tellurium Q® came about and what they are doing to make their products work so differently from what is currently available.
This has caused problems because there are trade secrets and production methodologies that they definitely do not want to share with their competitors.
Sometimes we are too much on the side of caution and that causes reviewers and their distributors a little problem. What do they say? What is the story to give customers, a hook, a reason to listen when there are so many companies claiming big things?
Why should people believe that we have a genuinely different approach? Yes a client can hear this is true within seconds of listening but the big problem is giving people a reason to want to listen having not yet heard the cable.
In the UK this is not such a big problem as more and more people are giving their feedback to their friends and Tellurium Q® is spreading rapidly by word of mouth as much as from the remarkable reviews.
However they can say a little about their background, how Tellurium Q® came about and what they had to do to develop the products. So here goes.
Geoff Merrigan’s official post at Tellurium Q® is director of strategy, however, most people don’t realise his original training was in industrial chemistry (materials etc) and he has kept his passion for science and learning through a range of activities which has given Tellurium Q its unique approach.
An interest in accelerated learning and behavioural modelling led to co-developing the Music Skills System with Simon Lomax where students learn musical instruments at an extraordinary speed.
This project also paved the way to a novel approach to audio cable development, though Geoff did not know it at the time.
In the very early days of Tellurium Q® Geoff made up many of the prototypes himself, building a sizeable number of the cables that customers own.
This experience coupled with his understanding of material science, allowed for an extensive mental-database and thus, the ability to visualise simulations of various materials, configurations and how they would probably behave. A huge short cut to the iterative design of physical cables. The shear volume of work has been made manageable by this ‘mind hack’ shortcut.
The team at Tellurium Q® always have a lot of work in the pipeline and this approach has been invaluable to the cause of delivering coherent and reliable results.
