Key Features & Technology Explained

Solid Conductors

Solid conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic distortion in cables.

Metal

AudioQuest’s best copper. To the greatest extent presently possible, extreme-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors minimise distortion caused by grain boundaries.

Noise Dissipation

Alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics “shield the shield”, minimising RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

Technology

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) saturates and polarises insulation, allowing clear, dynamic sound against a quiet “black” background.

Geometry

Double Star-Quad Geometry reduces time-smearing while preserving dynamics, and clarity.

Insulation

Foamed-Polyethylene’s high air content minimises energy absorption for clearer sound.

Direction Controlled

All conductors controlled for RF-noise directionality.

DESCRIPTION

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
Combines high-purity PSC and LGC for enhanced clarity and reduced harshness. LGC's fewer impurities and grain boundaries improve performance, while PSC ensures a smoother, clearer sound.

Carbon-Based Noise Dissipation
Negative conductors use Carbon-Loaded Polyethylene to minimize RF interference and "hash," improving dimensionality and reducing interaction between conductors.

Double Star-Quad Geometry
Offers superior capacitance and inductance balance. This geometry outperforms parallel and twisted-pair configurations for better sound quality.

Foamed Polyethylene Insulation
Utilizes air-filled Foamed-PE to minimize distortion. The low-loss, air-rich insulation reduces the out-of-focus effect common with other materials.
