4 AudioQuest: Doing No Harm Since 1980
For 40 years now, AudioQuest, headquartered Directionality: All drawn metal conductors have a non-symmetrical, fish-scale-like in Irvine, California, has been a leading grain structure. Because the highest Radio Frequencies (RF) are subject to skin developer, manufacturer, and distributor of effect, traveling on this deformed outer-surface layer of the conductor, there is a high-performance audio/video products and resulting increase in RF impedance in one direction versus the other. Since induced custom-install solutions. Although best known RF noise is parasitic (and doesn’t travel with the primary signal current), it takes the for our comprehensive range of analog, digital, path of least resistance. At AudioQuest, we test every conductor so it is used in the and AC power cables, our portfolio has expanded direction that drains the induced noise away from where it will cause the most harm, to a diverse assortment of products, including optimizing the cable and the system’s performance. the multi-award-winning DragonFly DACs, and Niagara and PowerQuest power products. Noise-Dissipation: Unwanted Radio-Frequency (RF) noise is and has always been picked up and induced into cable. This contamination ultimately masks and distorts Our ultimate goal is the same today as it was 40 critical portions of the audio/video signal. As this distortion-causing (parasitic) RF signal years ago: Do No Harm! By this we mean that is more present today than at any previous time in history, we must depend on a wider all cables and components, to the extent that is arsenal of Noise-Dissipation technologies: technologically feasible, should get out of the • ZERO Technology (No Characteristic Impedance) applies Ultra-Linear Noise- music’s way by inducing the least amount of Dissipation across the widest range of frequencies possible.

The Evolution Continues: The Four Elements Today • Tried-and-true DBS has evolved to include RF-Noise Traps that further reduce While minimizing noise and damage to the audio signal remains the North-Star constant, dielectric distortion and induced noise. the ways in which we engage these challenges always evolves. While there are still Four Elements that describe our foundational materials and design philosophies, a growing Metal Quality: Higher-purity conductor metals with smoother surfaces and internal number of technologies cross and even go beyond our original Four Elements. Many have crystal structures greatly reduce noise and distortion. Carefully finessed mixes of metals become crucial enough to demand visibility. Noise-Dissipation is an umbrella Element and conductor sizes can be effectively used to define a cable’s Sonic Signature—a cost- under which many of these meaningful techniques and technologies will reside. While effective technique for high-value, high-performance models. Geometry is no longer identified as one of The Four Elements, it remains inextricably tied to all other Elements of cable design and manufacture.
Solid Conductors: Strand interaction remains the biggest potential source of distortion in cables. Solid Conductors are the aspirational ideal and most complete solution to this problem. However, thoughtfully arranged multi-conductor geometries such as concentric windings are used to create our Semi-Solid Conductor technologies. These avoid many strand-distortion mechanisms and are in their own right ideal in a growing number of applications.

AC Power Conditioners Niagara: Low-Z Power I Noise-Dissipation Systems
Redefining the science of AC power conditioning
What is a power conditioner and why is it necessary? For some, a power conditioner is merely a device that provides enough outlets for the entire audio/video system while also protecting the connected devices from electrical storms and wiring faults. Yet, for the discriminating listener, many power conditioners can make an audio/video system perform far worse.
Yes, a home or building may have dimming lights or an occasional brown-out, and the utilities’ AC sine wave is always far from perfect. However, where incoming power is concerned, there are two reasons an audio/video system does not perform up to its full potential: 1) The current transients that supply the power amplifier are compressed, and 2) The ever-increasing levels of radio-frequency noise are masking (covering up) the system’s low-level signal content.
When compared to or measured against either Niagara, a simple power bar or a dedicated AC wall outlet can lose up to a third of the low-level audio information that contain much of a recording’s harmonics, imaging, high frequencies, and bottom- end grip—and once that information is gone, it’s gone forever.
AudioQuest’s Niagara technologies are unique amongst all power products—whether they’re isolation transformers, AC regenerators, battery back-up, re-clocking devices, or other types. Niagaras filters and Ground-Noise Dissipation work evenly, or linearly, across a far wider range of induced noise frequencies. Additionally, Niagaras 3000, 5000, and 7000 feature Transient Power Correction, which supplies a current reservoir to greatly bolster the performance of any power amplifier.

The power cords that are supplied with most audio/video components have many admirable features. They’re durable, flexible, small, and they will unfailingly supply the required AC voltage from the utilities’ service tap for many years to come. They’re also inexpensive.
Unfortunately, these “commodity” power cords were never up to the task of supplying sensitive components with the quality power they need. By this, we mean power that is unrestricted when delivering current transients to a power amplifier. The power cord must not add noise to the audio/video signal via RF (radio-frequency) noise that is induced into, or picked up by, the AV component. The ground lead is the worst offender in this regard, as it has no component power supply to help lessen the damage from the induced RF noise. Typically, the ground noise drains directly towards the component’s signal path.
Even with an advanced AC power system like Niagara the AC cord is a branch of noise-dissipation system. Like plumbing, the RF noise must be drained away from the circuits upon which it could do harm. Many ask, if my wall wiring is so many yards in length, how can a 6-foot cord possibly matter? It matters for the same reason four square inches of mud and debris can back up a plumbing system or a rain gutter. The drainage or distribution of water currents and noise currents work in the exact same manner. They are one system.
With AudioQuest power cords and our unique technologies such as ZERO Tech (No Characteristic Impedance) and our patented GND (Ground-Noise Dissipation), you will experience greater dynamics, bass grip, extended high frequencies, and the blackest background you’ve ever heard.

14 Speaker Cables Meticulously Designed to Minimize Noise and Distortion
Do No Harm: The Four Elements Today AudioQuest’s Four Elements are always applied in the most thoughtful, effective ways to offer the best performance for the money—at all price points. While our implementation of these techniques has evolved over the years, our guiding principle remains the same: Do No Harm.
Solid Conductors Strand interaction remains the biggest potential source of distortion in cables. Solid Conductors are the aspirational ideal and most complete solution to this problem. However, thoughtfully arranged multi-conductor geometries such as concentric windings are used to create our Semi-Solid Conductor technologies. These avoid many strand-distortion mechanisms and are in their own right ideal in a growing number of applications.
High-Purity Metal Higher-purity conductor metals with smoother surfaces and internal crystal structures greatly reduce noise and distortion. Carefully finessed mixes of metals and conductor sizes can be effectively used to define a cable’s Sonic Signature—a cost-effective technique for high-value, high-performance models.
Noise-Dissipation Unwanted Radio-Frequency (RF) noise is and has always been picked up and induced into cable. This contamination ultimately masks and distorts critical portions of the audio/video signal. As this distortion- causing (parasitic) RF signal is more present today than at any previous time in history, we must depend on a wider arsenal of Noise-Dissipation technologies: • Directionally Controlled conductors minimize high-frequency noise by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. • ZERO Technology (No Characteristic Impedance) applies Ultra-Linear Noise-Dissipation across the widest range of frequencies possible. It also enables uncompressed transient current transfer for AC power and loudspeaker/power amplifier applications. • Ground-Noise Dissipation (GND) cancels induced RF noise via its unique phase-cancelling array. • Tried-and-true DBS has evolved to include RF-Noise Traps that further reduce dielectric distortion and induced noise.
Dielectric Insulation is necessary between conductors to minimize signal interaction and electrical shorts. The ideal is virtually no dielectric interaction (such as is achieved with our ZERO Technology). However, by optimizing the dielectric material between signal conductors, this distortion is greatly minimized.

16 Mythical Creature & Folk Hero Termination Options: Bananas or Spades?
Amplifier-End Connector: Choice of 1000 Series Banana, Multi-Spade, U-Spade, or V-Spade (Silver only)
Often, the choice between terminating speaker cables with spade lugs or banana plugs will come down to personal preference. However, today’s EU- compliant isolated binding posts are being used on more power amplifiers than ever before. This sometimes makes it difficult, if not impossible, to use a banana Banana Multi-Spade U-Spade V-Spade connector. Further, given the girth and weight of our Mythical Creature Series speaker cables, a spade may be better capable of fully supporting the cable. 17.0 8.3 This is particularly a concern with binding posts that do not allow a banana 13.5 9.7 connector to fully seat into the post. 6.5 8.2
7.0 27.6 5.4 Further, the EU-compliant posts will neither accept our V-Spade nor allow 6.0 21.0 our Multi-Spade to be fully seated. For these applications (or when you’re not 15.3 certain), we highly recommend the U-Spade, as it can accommodate any 18.8 11.81 binding post. The V-Spade is a specialty spade connector that works well with large wingnut binding posts (such as the Mundorf), as it allows extra clearance. Insulated (compliant) binding posts may Banana Dimensions (mm) Multi-Spade Dimensions (mm) U-Spade Dimensions (mm) V-Spade Dimensions (mm) not allow for 2 sets of connectors. 17.0 8.3 13.5 9.7 Speaker-End Connector: 6.5 8.2 Choice of 1000-Series Spade or Banana (Silver only) 7.0 27.6 Here we typically recommend the U-Spade or banana connector. However, even though there 5.4 6.0 21.0 is less weight and pressure on this side of the cable (particularly for Bi-Wire sets), it is nevertheless 15.3 important to note the binding post’s design. If a banana connector cannot seat all the18.8 way into the 11.81 binding post, we recommend one of our spade connectors.

The Higher You Climb, The Less You Hear? Wind
Angel Climbing the ladder of AudioQuest Analog Interconnect Cables leads to better and better performance. This makes immediate sense, but perhaps less intuitive is the fact that moving up the line means you hear less of the cable. The reason is simple: As more of the delicate audio signal Earth is protected from damage along the way, the listener experiences more of the truth and emotional impact of Yosemite the music. Greater faithfulness to the audio signal is made possible by the use of superior materials and the careful implementation of increasingly sophisticated design and construction techniques.
Yukon Music is wonderfully complex, and our ears are very Sydney sensitive to its nuances. The remarkably affordable Bridges & Falls Series is an amazing place to start the journey. Yet, every step up the ladder to the Elements Series delivers even more clarity, smoother and more natural sound, greater dynamic slam, and more nuanced expression from the music. Mackenzie
Big Sur As you climb with your customers, you’ll hear progressions in metal, from Solid Long-Grain Copper to Perfect-Surface Copper, Copper+, and Silver; in Geometry, from Double- to Triple-Balanced; in insulation, from Foamed-PE to FEP Air-Tubes; and in Noise-Dissipation techniques, from Metal- to Carbon-Based Multi-Layer Noise-Dissipation and our Red River Golden patented Dielectric-Bias System. Gate
Throughout the line, the AQ performance-driven value system is always 100% evident. Climb until the incremental cost of the higher model is no longer the least expensive way to make the most improvement—but don’t be surprised if Chicago your customers find themselves at the top of the line before reaching that point!
