METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)

100% shielding is simple. Preventing captured RF interference from modulating the equipment's ground potential requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. The Noise-Dissipation System prevents a large portion of the captured RFI from reaching the equipment's grounding.

100% SHIELDING (FOIL + TINNED SPIRAL)SOLID 0.5% SILVER-PLATED CONDUCTORS

Solid conductors eliminate distortion caused by strand interaction and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for applications with very high frequencies, such as HDMI audio. These high-frequency signals travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. Because the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but with a price much closer to that of a solid copper cable. This is a significantly cost-effective way to produce high-quality HDMI cables.

COLD-WELDED GOLD-PLATED RCA PLUGS

This plug design allows for a solder-free connection, a common source of distortion. Because the plugs are not machined but pressed, a metal with low distortion can be chosen without considering machinability.

FOAM-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION

Any solid material next to a conductor actually becomes 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 blurring effect that occurs with other materials.
