AudioQuest Pegasus Interconnect Cable
Best high-fidelity interconnect for audiophiles seeking pure, noise-free signal transmission.
The AudioQuest Pegasus Analog Interconnect cable offers a ZERO-Tech design for linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation, preventing characteristic-impedance mismatch effects. It features Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, a Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, and Copper-Plated Plug Casings. The cable increases silver content in its RF Drain-Wires to 6% for reduced distortion and improved RF noise dissipation. Polypropylene Air-Tubes are used for insulation to minimize energy absorption and distortion. This interconnect aims to deliver uncompressed transients and a more natural sound, with hanging-silver over red-copper plugs for uncompromised signal transfer.

Know before you buy
The ZERO-Tech design is engineered to prevent characteristic-impedance mismatch effects. By eliminating the cable's characteristic impedance, it ensures linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation for a more natural and uncompressed sound.
These tubes act as insulation by using air to minimize energy absorption. This design choice significantly reduces signal distortion compared to traditional solid insulation materials.
Yes, the AudioQuest Pegasus is available in both RCA and XLR terminations to accommodate different equipment setups.
These wires are part of the Level 6 Noise-Dissipation system. The increased silver content helps effectively drain radio frequency noise to ground, which results in lower distortion and a cleaner signal path.
Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, which are primary sources of distortion in cables. The PSC+ surface is exceptionally smooth and pure, allowing for a clearer, more detailed audio signal.
This combination provides a superior connection interface. The red copper offers excellent conductivity, while the hanging-silver plating ensures a high-quality, durable contact point for uncompromised signal transfer.
