Detailed Description

Conductors

The QED Performance Audio Graphite Cable utilizes 99.999% oxygen-free copper conductors to provide a low resistance pathway for the audio signal, ensuring minimal signal loss and excellent audio clarity.

Dielectric

The low-density polyethylene dielectric, chosen for its low dielectric constant, minimizes audio signal energy loss caused by cable capacitance, preserving audio signal integrity over longer distances.

Geometry

The quasi-balanced twisted pair geometry of the cable involves twisting the signal and return conductors, providing excellent common mode noise rejection compared to conventional unbalanced cables.

Electrostatic Screen

The Al/Mylar electrostatic screen, combined with an OFC drain wire, offers immunity from external high voltage noise signals. The screen is connected only at the source equipment end, as indicated by directionality arrows on the cable jacket, further reducing noise interference.

Plugs

The 24k gold plated QED 6 leaf RCA plugs provide a lasting low resistance contact. Gold plating prevents tarnishing, ensuring a reliable connection throughout the cable's lifespan.

Barrel

The ergonomically sculptured zinc plated alloy barrel is designed for easy installation and provides a visually appealing, durable finish.
