MASSIVE PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER conductors (PSC)

Perfect-Surface Copper has an amazingly smooth and pure surface. Patented metal processing technologies protect the surface of the conductor at every stage of the production process, from drawing to production. When copper with high purity and few oxides is kept as soft, pure, and smooth as possible, you get a fantastic conductor with low distortion. For over 30 years, AudioQuest has been a pioneer in the use of superior metals, but even we were surprised by this huge leap forward in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous generations of AQ metals, which often cost ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between the wires in a conventional cable is the main source of distortion, which often results in a somewhat frayed and harsh sound. Solid conductors are essential for the very clean sound of.

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. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a large portion of the captured RFI from reaching the equipment's ground.

TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY

Our triple-balanced geometry uses a separate ground conductor, so the cable's shielding is never used as an inferior conductor. Whether the cable is equipped with RCA or XLR connectors, the three conductors of the cable ensure that the positive and negative signals have equally superior, low-distortion conduction paths.

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 instead pressed, a metal with low distortion can be chosen without having to consider machinability.
