PERFECT SURFACE SOLID SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS.

Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) is AudioQuest's highest quality metal.

Solid conductors prevent wire interaction, one of the main sources of cable distortion. Extremely high purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metallic conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N, and other types coppermade.

DIELECTRIC POLARIZATION SYSTEM WITH RADIO FREQUENCY TRAP.

Any insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased, the participation of the dielectric (non-linear energy absorption and release) causes different amounts of delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and power levels, which is a real problem for highly multi-octave audio. time sensitive. The inclusion of an RF trap (developed for AudioQuest's Niagara series power products) ensures that radio frequency noise is not induced in the signal leads of the DBS field elements.

FEP AIR TUBE INSULATION (FEP IS A POLYMER OF FLUORIDE).

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. The insulation materials of cables and printed circuit boards absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. However, air absorbs almost no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation, as it absorbs less energy than other materials. The use of FEP Air-Tube insulation, with almost nothing but air around the solid PSC + conductors, improves the sound of focus and dynamics of an audio system.

TRIPLE BALANCED GEOMETRY (SEPARATE EARTH REFERENCE CONDUCTOR).

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

8-LAYER CARBON-BASED NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS).

It's easy to achieve 100% shield coverage. To prevent captured radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment ground reference, AQ's Noise Dissipation System (NDS) is required. Traditional shielding systems typically absorb and then drain RF noise / energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes signal distortion. Alternating layers of carbon-laden metal and synthetic NDS "shield the shield", absorbing and reflecting most of this noise / RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to the ground.

COLD-WELDED DOUBLE-CONTACT COLD-WELDED REUSABLE PLUGS, WITH SILVER COATING PENDING DIRECTLY ON MACHINED SOLID, EXTREME PURITY RED COPPER.

This plug design allows a perfect heat-free connection between the cord and the plug. The connection between the plug and the conductors is made using AQ's cold welding system, which provides a superior connection that ensures that the structural integrity of the conductor is kept completely intact. The cold soldering system refers to a combination of high pressure at the point of contact and the use of paste impregnated with copper or silver. (Wild Blue Yonder silver conductors get silver paste.) XLR plugs are also available.
