Analogue Audio Interconnect Cable

If not for its Mythical siblings, FireBird and Dragon, ThunderBird might be the best analogue interconnect cable the world has ever heard.

Featuring Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels, and a Level-6 Noise-Dissipation System, ThunderBird combines the finest materials and design techniques for unparalleled audio clarity.

Available with custom RCA and XLR terminations, it represents a pinnacle of analogue cable performance.

DESCRIPTION

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Prevents distortion and maximizes RF noise dissipation with solid PSC+ copper.

Level 6 Noise-Dissipation
Uses a carbon-graphene mesh, direction-controlled conductors, and silver-plated drain wires to minimize RF noise.

ZERO-Tech
Eliminates characteristic-impedance mismatches for consistent RF noise dissipation and uncompressed transients.

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)
Reduces dielectric noise and improves RF noise dissipation with precise biasing.

FEP Air-Tube Insulation
Minimizes signal interference with high-purity FEP insulation and optimized negative conductor design.

6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires
Ensures effective RF noise dissipation for clearer sound.

Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels
Prevents RF coupling by grounding barrels.

Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs
Provides superior signal transfer with Hanging-Silver over high-purity Red Copper.

AWARDS

The Absolute Sound 2024 Editors’ Choice Award

The 2024 March issue of The Absolute Sound includes the magazine’s annual Editors’ Choice Awards, given to products its editors believe are easy to recommend — products they would happily own and quickly recommend to family and friends.

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

Technology

ZERO-Tech eliminates the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors, enabling linear Radio Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients.
