SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+ Solid-
Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF
Noise-Dissipation.
ASYMMETRICAL DOUBLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY
Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced
Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more
dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for
both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for
cleaner, quieter performance.
CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference
requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically
absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and
distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of
the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield
the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches
the layer attached to ground.
POLYETHYLENE AIR-TUBE INSULATION
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit.
Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy
is stored and then released as distortion. AudioQuest, however, uses Polyethylene
Air-Tube Insulation on both conductors, for increased geometry stabilization and
improved clarity. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-
loss and has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its
high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other
materials.
COLD-WELDED, DIRECT-SILVER PLATED PURE PURPLE COPPER
TERMINATIONS
Direct-Silver Plating is optimized for sound, using no underlying layer of distortion-
causing nickel, while the highly effective cold-weld process avoids sound-
degrading solder.
