Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interaction between strands. PSC+ solid copper reduces distortion associated with 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 combines 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
Characteristic-impedance mismatch between a cable and its source and load circuits can only be avoided by preventing the cable from having a characteristic impedance. ZERO-Tech removes the electrostatic field between the high and low signal conductors, providing consistent RF noise dissipation across the frequency range and uncompressed transients. To maintain complete isolation between the signal conductors, Pegasus, ThunderBird, FireBird and Dragon XLR cables include a Dual-72v DBS pack.

72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)
Insulation also acts as a dielectric and can function as a shunt filter. Biasing reduces dielectric noise and linearises the filter, improving the dissipation of induced RF noise across a wide bandwidth.

FEP Air-Tube Insulation
The positive conductors have almost no contact with their FEP insulation, which provides a high-quality dielectric with minimal signal interference. The negative conductors use intentionally lossy insulation, with no air and no FEP, to support the different function of the negative connection.

6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires
Direction-controlled, silver-plated RF drain wires support the efficient dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise, helping to produce clearer, more natural sound.

Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels
Grounded, copper-plated barrels maximise noise dissipation by preventing the metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF noise to the conductors.

Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs
AudioQuest’s highest-grade plugs use hanging silver, rather than tumbled silver, directly over high-purity red copper to maintain signal transfer.
