MASSIVE 100% PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER CONDUCTORS (PSS)

Perfect-Surface technology applied to silver with an extreme level of purity provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrasts. Massive conductors prevent mutual interference between the wires in twisted cables, which is a significant source of distortion in cables. Perfect-Surface Silver with an extreme level of purity minimizes distortion caused by the interfaces between atoms in a metal conductor, virtually eliminating hardness and increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N, and other copper types.

DIELECTRIC BIAS SYSTEM WITH RADIOFREQUENCY TRAP

All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric has no bias, dielectric involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels, which is a serious problem for highly time-sensitive audio with multiple octaves. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuest's Niagara series power products) ensures that radiofrequency noise is not induced in the signal conductors of the DBS field elements.

CARBON-BASED 6-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)

Shielding the shield reduces contamination of the ground potential by RFI.

SILVER-PLATED BRAIDED SHIELDFOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor actually forms part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and printed circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs virtually no energy and polyethylene has low loss and a good distortion profile, Foamed-PE with its high air content causes much less of the out-of-focus effect that occurs with other materials.

COLD-WELDED HANGING-SILVER OVER PURE RED COPPER SYSTEM

This plug design allows for a completely heat-free connection between the cable and the plug. The connection between the plug and the conductor is made using the AQ cold-weld system, which creates an optimal connection that fully preserves the integrity of the conductor. The cold-weld system refers to a combination of high pressure at the contact point combined with a silver or copper-impregnated paste. (For the silver conductors of Boxer, we use a silver paste).
