Product description
Connect a wide range of audio electronics with this AudioQuest Golden Gate RCA analog interconnect, meticulously designed for outstanding flexibility and versatility. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music.
Key Technical Features
-
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC): Unlike standard cables that use stranded copper, the Golden Gate uses solid conductors made of PSC. This "Perfect-Surface" metal is exceptionally smooth and pure, which helps eliminate harshness and increases clarity by reducing "strand interaction" (a common source of distortion).
-
Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry: This design provides a lower impedance path to the ground. By separating the ground and shield, the cable delivers a cleaner, quieter background and more dynamic sound compared to standard single-ended designs.
-
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation (NDS): This system "shields the shield." It helps prevent Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from reaching the equipment’s ground plane, which effectively lowers the noise floor of your audio system.
-
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation: Because air absorbs almost no energy, the "foamed" (air-filled) insulation minimizes the energy storage that can blur audio signals, resulting in a more focused sound.
- Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Plugs: The connectors are attached using high pressure instead of solder. Since solder can be a source of distortion, this "cold-weld" technique ensures a more purer signal transfer.
