Connect a wide range of audio electronics with this AudioQuest Golden Gate RCA analog interconnect meticulously designed for outstanding flexibility and versatility. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise for cleaner clearer more naturally beautiful music.
FeaturesSince the beginning AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance attained through the astonishingly smooth and pure surface of Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC). Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft pure and smooth as possible it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. In a conventional cable electrical and magnetic interaction between strands is one of the greatest sources of distortion often causing a somewhat harsh dirty sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving a very clean natural sound.
Metal-Layer Noise-DissipationIt's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
Foamed-Polyethylene InsulationAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile Foamed-PE with its high air content causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
Direction-Controlled ConductorsAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical and therefore directional grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. When applicable arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For most models of AQ cable the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
Cold-Welded Gold-Plated TerminationsThis plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder which is a common source of distortion. Instead of solder the process employs a high-pressure technique. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined the metal used can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
