Black Beauty XLR 1m

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 + Direction-Controlled Conductors
Radio-frequency noise from cellular networks, WiFi and satellites is widespread. AudioQuest’s Level 6 Linear Noise Dissipation 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
The cable avoids characteristic-impedance mismatch effects between the cable and its connected source and load circuits 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 adjacent to a conductor forms part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit-board materials absorb energy, some of which is stored and later 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 produces less of the unfocused 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 Hanging-Silver, rather than tumbled silver, directly over high-purity Red Copper to maintain signal transfer.
