AudioQuest Carbon AES/EBU Digital Cable
The AudioQuest Carbon AES-EBU digital cable delivers substantial performance for professional and domestic audio applications. It features solid 5% silver conductors, which minimize strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter, offering excellent high-frequency performance. The Hard-Cell Foam insulation ensures consistent characteristic impedance along the cable's length. With 100% shield coverage combining foil and a tinned braid, it effectively prevents RFI from modulating the equipment's ground reference. Terminations are cold-welded with hanging-silver directly over pure purple copper, providing a reliable and high-quality connection.
