AudioQuest - Chicago - Analogue-Audio Interconnect Cable
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of superior sound with the AudioQuest - Chicago - Analogue-Audio Interconnect Cable, an innovative leap into advanced audio technology, that pays homage to the spirit of transformation as embodied by the city of Chicago. Just as the city transforms its river into a stunning emerald showpiece for St. Patrick’s Day, AudioQuest reinvents audio experience by turning regular sound into an extraordinary symphony.
Key Features:
- Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors: These conductors are specially designed to eliminate strand-interaction distortion, providing a smoother and clearer sound, outperforming regular OFHC copper cables.
- Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation: An exclusive feature in AudioQuest's video and digital audio cables. They use nitrogen injection to create air pockets in 'hard' foam, allowing the conductors to maintain a consistent relationship with each other, ensuring the cable's characteristic impedance is unwavering.
- Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS): Boasting 100% shield coverage, the NDS ensures prevention of RF interference from modulating your equipment’s ground reference- advancing performance and safeguarding your hardware.
- Double-Balanced Geometry: This innovative design keeps the ideal audio conductors separate from the cable's shield, which drastically enhances the sound quality. Grounding the shield at just one end further reduces system ground-plane modulation.
- Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs: Eliminating the common source of distortion – solder connections, these gold-plated plugs are stamp-created, prioritizing low distortion over machining feasibility.
Key Benefits:
- Distortion-Free Audio: The use of LGC conductors, gold-plated plugs, and double-balanced geometry ensures minimal loss and distortion, enabling you to immerse in unprecedented clarity and smoothness of sound.
- Consistent Performance: The Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation reliably maintains the characteristic impedance of the cable, delivering consistent, superior-quality audio performances at every use.
- Enhanced Audio Quality: The Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System forms a solid line of defense against RF interference, preventing unnecessary disturbances that often hamper the audio quality.
- Comfort of Use: The RCA to RCA application makes this cable versatile and exceedingly user-friendly.
- Ultimate Noise Cancellation: Double-balanced geometry isolates the audio conductors from the cable shield, providing complete noise cancellation for ultimate audio purity.
Specifications:
| Specifications | Description |
|---|---|
| Conductors | Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC). Provides smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. Reduces interruption caused by strand-interaction distortion. Resulting in less oxides, impurities and grain boundaries within the conducting material. |
| Insulation | Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam. Used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s audio cables. Similar in consistency to Foamed-PE and nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. This 'Hard' foam maintains the spatial relationship between conductors throughout the cable, ensuring characteristic impedance clarity. |
| Noise Dissipation | Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Enables complete prevention of acquired RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference. Handles significant amounts of RFI to avoid reaching the equipment’s ground plane. Allows 100% shield coverage. |
| Geometry | Double-Balanced Design. This construction uses two ideal audio conductors separated from the cable's shield. This design choice ensures that the shield is not used as an inferior audio path. Sound quality is optimized by grounding the shield only at one end, minimizing modulation of the system's ground plane. |
| Plug Design | Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs. Plug design that requires no solder for connection. This feature helps vehicles avoid a common source of distortion. The plug's ground shells are stamped rather than machined, which allows the choice of metal to be based on its low distortion properties, rather than machinability. |
| Application | RCA to RCA. Optimally designed to connect audio devices utilizing RCA ports. Available in 1m & 1.5m RCA-RCA lengths kept in stock. Other lengths may be available upon request. **Contact for more information regarding availability of additional lengths. |
In conclusion, the AudioQuest - Chicago - Analogue-Audio Interconnect Cable is an exquisite embodiment of top-tier, pioneering audio technology, designed for those who place a premium on unparalleled sound quality. A mélange of solid design and cutting-edge technology, it melds seamlessly to deliver an auditory nirvana, redefining your musical narrative with a clarity and vibrancy that is nothing less than sensational. As Australia's leading Hi-Fi store, The Audio Tailor is committed to enhancing your auditory journey and indeed this product is a testament to that commitment. It resonates with the spirit of transformation, turning ordinary into extraordinary, just like the mesmerising transformation of Chicago's river. It allows you to delve into the musical landscape of your choice, unearthing a profundity of sound you've yet to experience. Elevate your audio experience and embrace the epiphany of pristine sound with the AudioQuest - Chicago - Analogue-Audio Interconnect Cable.
