Black Beauty RCA 1m
The AudioQuest Black Beauty RCA 1m reduces distortion and dissipates radio-frequency noise through Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ conductors, foamed polyethylene insulation and ZERO-Tech construction. Its carbon and graphene mesh network, copper-plated RF-draining barrels and hanging-silver-over-red-copper plugs support noise management while maintaining signal transfer. ** Please call for all available configurations **
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic interaction between strands. PSC+ solid copper reduces distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximises linear RF noise dissipation.
Level 6 Noise-Dissipation: ZERO-Tech, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network and Direction-Controlled Conductors
Radio-frequency noise from cellular networks, WiFi and satellites is widespread. AudioQuest’s Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation system uses a carbon and graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors and silver-plated drain wires to minimise the masking effects of RF noise.
ZERO-Tech, with no characteristic impedance, for linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation
A cable can avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch effects between its source and load circuits only by having no characteristic impedance. ZERO-Tech achieves this by eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable’s high and low signal conductors. This enables linear, consistent-octave-to-octave RF noise dissipation and uncompressed transients. To maintain complete isolation between the signal conductors, a Dual-72v DBS pack is included for Pegasus, ThunderBird, FireBird and Dragon XLR cables.
Foamed Polyethylene Insulation
Any solid material next to a conductor forms part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit-board materials absorb energy, some of which is stored and released as distortion. Air absorbs almost no energy, while polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Foamed-PE, with its high air content, therefore causes less of the out-of-focus effect associated with other materials.
Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels
Grounded copper-plated barrels maximise noise dissipation by preventing the metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors.
Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs
AudioQuest’s finest plugs use superior hanging silver, rather than tumbled silver, directly over high-purity red copper to maintain signal transfer.
