AudioQuest Pegasus XLR to XLR Audio Interconnect Cable

Description AudioQuest Pegasus RCA to RCA Audio Interconnect Cable The AudioQuest Pegasus XLR to XLR Audio Interconnect Cable features several AudioQuest design elements that work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise. These include: Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC ) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, 72v DBS, 6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs.   View AudioQuest Cables >>   Features Zero Tech For Linear, Wide Bandwidth Noise-Dissipation: The only way to avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a cable and its attached source and load circuits is to prevent the cable from having a characteristic-impedance. ZERO-Tech succeeds by eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors, enabling linear Radio-Frequency. Solid Perfect Surface Copper Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. Copper Plated RF Draining Barrels: Direction-Controlled Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires further ensure the proper and efficient dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise for clearer, more natural sound. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC ) Conductors Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. Level 6 Noise-Dissipation: ZERO-Tech Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network Direction-Controlled Radio-Frequency Noise from cellular, WiFi, and satellites is everywhere. AQ’s Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation includes a carbon & graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors, and Silver-Plated drain wires. These significantly help minimizing RF Noise masking effects. ZERO-Tech (No Characteristic Impedance) for Linear, Wide-Bandwidth Noise-Dissipation The only way to avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a cable and its attached source and load circuits is to prevent the cable from having a characteristic-impedance. ZERO-Tech succeeds by eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors. Thus enabling linear (consistent octave to octave) Radio-Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients. In order to preserve ZERO-Tech’s complete isolation between signal conductors, a Dual-72v DBS pack is included for Pegasus, ThunderBird, FireBird, and Dragon XLR cables. 72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) Insulation is also a dielectric that can act like a shunt-filter. Biasing minimizes dielectric-noise and linearizes the filter, significantly improving wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced RF noise. Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit and will absorb energy, some of which is stored and then released as distortion. For designs that require minimal diameter, AudioQuest uses Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polypropylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Polypropylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. 6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires Direction-Controlled Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires further ensure the proper and efficient dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise for clearer, more natural sound. Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels Grounded Copper-Plated Barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing a metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors. Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs AudioQuest’s finest plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver (not tumbled) directly over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure uncompromised signal transfer.   Specifications Materials & Design Metal: ZERO: Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC ) / BASS: Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC ) Geometry: ZERO-Tech Insulation: Polypropylene Air-Tubes Jacket: Brown on Black Nylon Braid Terminations: Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Features & Performance Noise-Dissipation: Graphene/Carbon Mesh-Network 72v DBS Sold As: Pair *ZERO-Tech interconnects (Black Beauty and Pegasus) are not suitable for use from a turntable.
