Know before you buy
The ZERO-Tech design eliminates characteristic impedance, which allows for linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation. This ensures that the signal remains uncompressed and free from the phase distortion often found in traditional cable geometries.
This mesh-network acts as a shield that dissipates radio frequency (RF) noise before it can reach your equipment. By effectively draining this interference, it helps lower the noise floor, allowing for greater clarity and detail in your music.
Solid conductors eliminate the electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, which is a primary source of distortion in standard cables. The PSC+ surface is exceptionally smooth and pure, minimizing graininess and harshness in the high frequencies.
Yes, all audio cables in the AudioQuest line are direction-controlled to ensure that RF noise is drained away from sensitive components. You will see arrows on the cable jacket indicating the correct direction of signal flow for optimal performance.
Choose the termination that matches the inputs and outputs on your specific amplifier and source components. If your equipment supports balanced connections, XLR is generally preferred for its superior noise rejection over longer cable runs.
The Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) creates a stable electrostatic field that saturates and polarizes the cable's insulation. This reduces the time-smear effect caused by the dielectric material, resulting in a more transparent and immediate sound.
