AudioQuest

Analogue Audio Interconnect Cable

Experience cleaner, clearer, and more naturally beautiful music. Connect your audio source components to amplifiers and receivers with the AudioQuest Mackenzie RCA/XLR Analog-Audio Cable, expertly designed for exceptional performance and value.

DESCRIPTION

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Minimizes distortion and maximizes RF noise-dissipation with smooth, high-purity copper.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Shields against RFI with alternating metal and carbon layers to prevent noise distortion.

Direction-Controlled Conductors
Optimizes noise-dissipation by directing induced noise away from sensitive areas, with arrows indicating correct orientation.

Triple-Balanced Geometry
Ensures separate ground-reference conductor to prevent the shield from carrying signal, providing low-distortion paths for positive and negative signals.

Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Reduces distortion with nitrogen-injected foam for stable impedance and minimal energy absorption.

Cold-Welded, Hanging-Silver Terminations
Eliminates solder distortion with high-pressure connections and pure copper.

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," absorbing and reflecting most RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

Insulation

Hard-Cell Foamed-Polyethylene's high air content minimises energy absorption for clearer sound.

Direction Controlled

All conductors controlled for RF-noise directionality.
